After sharing the legacy recordings with my mom last week, I felt a fire in me to retell my strongman story — the raw version, from the beginning. This isn’t about trophies. This is about the moment I realized I was no longer broken. In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of how I found the sport of strongman during one of the hardest seasons of my life — when I was emotionally drained, overworked, and silently crumbling. I share how lifting became a lifeline. Why my strength wasn’t built in the gym — it was reclaimed through every rep I did when no one was watching. This is the story of how I earned my Pro Card, placed 3rd in a pro show against women 100 pounds heavier, and — more importantly — found my identity again. This one’s for the woman who doesn’t feel strong right now. You are. You’ve just forgotten where your strength lives.
