    #112: Reflections on menopause, fitness & life on my 54th Birthday
    Apr 1 2025

    I'm turning 54 on the day that this episode is being released 🎂, so I thought I would take this opportunity to reflect back on my perimenopause nightmare, how amazing midlife can be (once you get menopause symptoms under control), my fitness journey, and my thoughts on the road ahead.

    So this is a little bit of a different kind of episode than usual. I hope you enjoy it. x Lynn

    You'll learn:

    • The biggest strength training mistakes I see women making
