    Ep. 6 - Upcoming Competition, Mindset & Identity

    Welcome to Episode 5 of Strong AF - The Podcast After a couple of months off — thanks to life, chaos, and a full whirlwind of events — I’m officially back. And of course, I had to fill you in on everything that’s been happening behind the scenes. In this episode, I talk about my upcoming competition, the mindset I’m bringing into this comp, the lessons I’ve learned recently (some the hard way), and what this next chapter looks like. But this isn’t just about stepping on the platform and lifting heavy shit. I go deep into identity — what it actually means to realise a new version of yourself and why that shift is non-negotiable if you want to progress… in competition, in business, or in life. Because you don’t rise to the level of your goals. You rise to the level of who you believe you are. Expect some honest reflections, a few powerful mindset shifts, and yes… probably a little bit of a ramble too. Let’s get into it. 💪 _____________________________________________________________________________ Alright listen up. If you’re a competitive woman… If you thrive on pushing limits… If the idea of stepping on stage, stepping onto the platform, or chasing a performance goal lights something up in you… This is for you. Strong AF – The Collective is officially OPEN. And I’m taking just two more competitors for March. This isn’t lifestyle coaching. This is a high-touch, intimate container for driven, competitive-minded women who are ready to take their physique, strength, and identity to the next level. Bodybuilding. Strength comps. Powerlifting Performance-focused transformations. This is where we build athletes. We’re talking structured programming. Intentional progression. Dialed-in physique development. Strength that actually transfers to the platform. And conditioning that shows up when it counts. But here’s the difference. We don’t just chase numbers and aesthetics at the expense of your body. We build you strong, resilient, and injury-free. We protect your hormones. We protect your energy. We make sure you can train like an athlete and still function like a human in the real world. Because the strongest competitors aren’t the ones who burn out.  They’re the ones who build capacity. Strong AF – The Collective is for the woman who: • Loves a goal with a deadline  • Thrives under pressure  • Wants to see what she’s truly capable of  • Is done “training hard” without a real strategy  • Wants to compete — or train like she does This is identity-level work. You don’t just prep your body. You become the woman who steps on stage or onto the platform and knows she belongs there. And because this is high-touch coaching, I only take a very small number of athletes at a time. Right now, there are two spots left for March. If you are ready to train like an athlete. If you are ready to build a physique that reflects your discipline. If you are ready to get Strong AF — and compete at a higher level than you ever have before… DM me the word “STRONGAF” on Instagram @female_strength_coach We’ll map out your goal. Your timeline. Your strategy. No fluff. No guessing. Just structured, intelligent, competitive-level coaching. It’s time to see what you’re actually capable of. Let’s build the strongest version of you. 💪🔥 _____________________________________________________________________________ Clink the link below to apply to work with me ------->>>>> https://bit.ly/BTYSTRONGAF

    Ep. 5 - STRONG AF - Masterclass - Building Muscle, Mindset & Motivation

    This is not a motivational talk. This is a masterclass for women who are ready to step into their strength — physically, mentally, and energetically. STRONGAF is a high-impact masterclass designed to help women build strong, powerful, and capable bodies while developing the champion mindset required to sustain results long-term. Whether your goal is to build muscle, improve performance, feel more confident in the gym, or eventually compete on the platform or stage, this session will give you the clarity, structure, and belief to move forward and go after your goals! In this masterclass, we will cover: The Champion Mindset * How high-performing women think, train, and show up — and how to break through self-doubt, inconsistency, and fear of “taking up space.” Training for Strength & Muscle * What actually works in the gym to build muscle, strength, and resilience — without spinning your wheels, overtraining, or chasing trends. Nutrition for Performance & Body Composition * How to fuel your body to build muscle, recover properly, and support performance while maintaining balance and sustainability. Identity & Empowerment * Reframing what it means to be strong, muscular, and powerful as a woman — and learning to own it unapologetically. This masterclass is for women who: * Are tired of guessing in the gym and want clear direction * Want to build muscle, strength, and confidence * Feel called to step into a stronger version of themselves * Are curious about competing, or simply want to train like an athlete * Want their mindset, body, and actions to finally align You do not need to want to compete — but you do need to be ready to stop playing small. STRONGAF is about reclaiming your potential, trusting your capacity, and building a body and mindset that reflects how powerful you truly are. If you are ready to train with purpose, fuel with intention, and embody strength in every area of your life — this masterclass is for you. Want to work together?
