In this episode we’re sitting down with Libby O’Sullivan, a physiotherapist with over 20 years of experience, to discuss the critical role of strength training for women. If you’re navigating a busy life, dealing with hormonal changes, and feeling the onset of aging, Libby breaks down why 10-minutes per day can be the difference between living a full life and an early death.


She also shares tips on how to overcome common obstacles like fatigue and time constraints, and why outsourcing your health decisions can backfire.

You’ll learn:

  • Why strength training is non-negotiable for women over 35

  • The 10-minute workout rule that can save your life

  • The myths you've been told about your pelvic floor (are Kegels even worth it?)

  • How to stay active even on exhausted, chaotic days

  • Why outsourcing your health (to trainers, apps, or trends) can rob you of your power

  • How to "habit-stack" exercise into your daily routine without overhauling your schedule

  • The unspoken link between bone density fractures and postpartum health

  • Why motivation is overrated (and what to replace it with)

  • Why women over 40 should be training like bodybuilders instead of yoga instructors

  • How to listen to your body’s cues about when to push through vs. when to rest

… and SO much more.
