Why strength is more than muscles (and how it shapes who you are)
Episode 423 of Strong By Design
I want to share something powerful with you today, and it's not your typical "lift more, eat better" message.
On the latest episode of Strong By Design, Chris sat down with licensed counselor, EMDR trained therapist, and strength coach Alena Alsruhe to explore something deeper, how strength training doesn't just build muscles, it builds resilience, identity, confidence, and even helps you walk through hard seasons of life with purpose.
They dig into the why behind the iron, how it shapes your mind, body, and spirit, and how moving your body becomes a tool for emotional and spiritual growth, not just physical change. Alena breaks down:
Why challenges forge toughness in ways comfort never can
How trauma and pain can be transformed into power and purpose
The unique way resistance training empowers women to stop shrinking and reclaim confidence
How presence matters more than platitudes when you're hurting
The healing power of nature, sunlight, and intentional movement
If you've ever felt stuck in your training, or wondered what strength really does beyond how you look in the mirror, this conversation will shift your view. It did mine.
Because your brain matters just as much as your biceps
