Ever feel like you’re showing up and putting in the work, but somehow, it doesn’t seem to add up? Building Strength Without Self-Judgment in Midlife can be tricky, especially when you’ve set a strength goal—like lifting heavier, trying a new move, or just feeling stronger every day—but it feels like no matter what you do, it’s never quite enough. Sound familiar?

In today’s episode, we’re diving into that feeling we know too well: the self-judgment that sneaks in and makes us feel like we should be further along. We’ll unpack why this happens, especially for those of us in midlife, and how to let go of those 'shoulds' that don’t serve us. Instead, we’ll focus on a new way to look at progress that actually feels good.

Take, for example, a recent conversation with a frustrated client about her pull-up progress. She found herself thinking, “I should be stronger by now.” And this wasn’t just about pull-ups; it was about that nagging feeling of “not good enough.” We often carry an invisible checklist of where we think we should be, which adds unnecessary pressure.

In this episode, we’ll examine why “shoulds” are so common and how letting go of them can help us celebrate small wins. We’ll also discuss redefining strength as a physical measure, resilience, persistence, and showing up for ourselves.

By the end, you’ll have simple, practical tools to shift your mindset, letting you celebrate the strength you’re building without frustration. This episode is about making fitness feel like a win for you—because you deserve to see and feel how far you’ve come. Tune in and start building strength with kindness and self-compassion.
