She Has The Audacity Chana Ross

True strength is so much much more than the ability to lift something heavy. It requires perseverance, overcoming failure and the belief that you are capable of the goal you have yet to realize. 
 
This week, I sat down with Alyssa Ages, journalist, public speaker and the author of SECRETS OF GIANTS: A Journey to Uncover the True Meaning of Strength
 
Alyssa shared her story from being a self-proclaimed “non-athlete” to becoming a strongman competitor who pulled a truck with nothing more than a harness and her physical strength. According to Alyssa and the multiple athletes and experts she interviewed for her book, true strength is not just built by harnessing your physical strength, but your mental grit and a willingness to question and test the beliefs you hold about your personal limits. Strength is built through being patient and resilient and a willingness to celebrate each success along the way.
 
We talked about:
How the pursuit of strength teaches women to unapologetically take up space
The importance of pushing your limits and allowing yourself to fail
The importance of strength training as we age and for women in particular
How trusting your body and yourself is the key to the future of your dreams
 
Whether you're interested in building your physical and mental strength by lifting an atlas stone, cooking up a new recipe, or getting started on that business idea you’ve been mulling over, I hope Alyssa’s story inspires you to take a step towards it and keep going!!!!

Through countless conversations with successful women, I've uncovered consistent themes that differentiate high achievers from the rest. 
Join me as we explore these transformative insights that can elevate your approach to success and fulfillment.
Here’s what I’ve learned:
1. You Are Enough Right Now: It all begins with embracing your worth and capabilities. Success isn't about waiting for validation; it's about recognizing that you are enough, right here, right now. Let's navigate through the challenges of self-doubt together and empower ourselves to take meaningful action.
2. Cultivate a Growth Mindset: Embracing a growth mindset is crucial for continuous evolution. Successful women see every obstacle as a chance to learn and grow, understanding that failures are stepping stones to success. Let's redefine setbacks as opportunities and celebrate the journey of personal and professional development.
3. Focus on being of Service: Imagine the power of shifting our focus from self-doubt to serving others. When we approach life with a heart of service, we not only enhance our creativity but also build authentic connections. Let's explore how nurturing this mindset can lead to exceptional outcomes in our interactions and endeavors.
4. Take Messy Action: Perfectionism often holds us back from progress. High achievers know that imperfect action is better than waiting for elusive perfection. Let's embrace the courage to take messy, imperfect steps forward, knowing that each action moves us closer to our goals.
5. Ask for Help: Success is not a solitary journey. Building a support network, seeking mentors, and delegating tasks are essential for sustainable success. Let's break free from the notion of doing it all alone and embrace the strength found in collaboration and support.
These are the most common themes and lessons that have come out of the amazing conversations I have had the absolute pleasure to have had so far.  If you listen to this podcast, you are likely on a journey of growth and empowerment along with me! These mindset shifts are not just strategies but invitations to embrace your full potential and lead a life filled with purpose. Let's do it together.
