In today’s episode, journalist Haley Shapley guides us through the often-misrepresented history of female strength and athleticism. Haley is the author of the book Strong Like Her. Her book presents revelations from cultural history and biographical tales of women who have had to overcome social barriers before having the chance to begin pushing their physical boundaries. These stories have been and continue to be an inspiration to generations of athletes. Haley challenges us to rethink how we can better encourage and celebrate the physical power of women.
We start our conversation with Haley’s own journey to success in strength training, and she then provides astute insight and evidence-based answers to my endless list of questions on this fascinating and vital topic. I hope you enjoy today’s episodes and do not hesitate to reach out if you have any follow-up questions for Haley or myself.
