You do not have to just live with them.


If you’ve ever felt confused, embarrassed, or overwhelmed about what’s happening “down there”… you’re absolutely not alone. And you’re in the right place.

Drawing from 15 years of staying active (and her current journey training for a half marathon), Kayla shares how movement has taught her to do hard things, stay committed when motivation fades, and push through discomfort. Lessons that mirror the everyday challenges of business ownership and mom life. From running when she doesn’t feel like it, to lifting weights when it’s uncomfortable, to making difficult phone calls in her marketing career, she explains how building strength isn’t just physical, it’s deeply mental.


Kayla also highlights how real confidence is built through evidence, especially for women. Strength training can help women feel more grounded, self-assured, and safe in their bodies, which translates into speaking up in rooms where we once felt small, raising our prices, going after opportunities, and trusting ourselves more fully.


This episode encourages you to start small, show up consistently, and practice being a little uncomfortable — because that’s where growth happens. As Kayla reminds us: “The reps we do in the gym become the reps we take into life and business.”
