About this listen

Let’s talk about something so many women deal with—but don’t always talk about: the frustration that comes from going on a fitness journey with a male partner... and feeling like they’re pulling ahead.

In this episode, we’re calling out the real reasons this happens—not because you're doing anything wrong, but because your body, your hormones, and your history in the fitness world are completely different.

We break down:

  • Why men often see faster physical progress (spoiler: hormones + muscle mass)
  • The biological differences that make your journey uniquely yours
  • How generational stigma and lack of representation have held women back
  • The mental toll of comparison—and how to break free from it
  • What women actually bring to the table in fitness (hint: resilience + consistency 👑)

This conversation is about reclaiming your timeline, recognizing your strength, and refusing to let someone else’s pace define your progress. Your body is powerful, your progress is valid, and your journey is worth celebrating—even if it doesn’t look like his.

🧠💪 Let’s reframe the narrative—and lift each other up.
