Episode 7: Strength and Commitment with World-Champion Powerlifter Krista Ford
What happens when you can bring a healthy body forward into our middle years as women, with more strength? How can we leverage commitment to get healthy and create wellness and how can you show up for yourself and get strong? In this episode you’ll hear about all of that in my conversation with world-record holder and world champion Krista Ford. You’ll also hear about her memoir coming this fall.
This is an especially fun and chatty episode as Krista is truly a strong woman with 40 years in powerlifting and I have come back round to this life of health and wellness more recently. There are some golden nuggets for starting your journey and the mindset you need to stay on it.
