EP 16: Redefining Strength: How Busy Women Can Build Health, Energy, and Confidence at Any Age with Laura Mahoney

"Strength training has a powerful reminder to you that you're capable of anything that you want to do." - Laura Mahoney

In this episode, Angela sits down with certified strength + nutrition coach, mom of two, and entrepreneur Laura Mahoney for an honest, relatable conversation about women’s health, motherhood, and redefining what strength truly means as we age.

Laura opens up about her journey from growing up overweight and knowing little about fitness to becoming a leader in the wellness space—earning a degree in kinesiology, building a thriving personal training business, and helping busy women reclaim their energy and confidence.

Now in a new season of life, Laura shares how her priorities have shifted from performance-based goals to stress resilience, and feeling good in her body—without the pressure to “do it all.”

Whether you’re in your 30s or 40s and navigating motherhood, or just feeling stuck in your wellness journey, this episode is packed with practical, real-life advice and empowering mindset shifts that will help you embrace fitness as a form of self-leadership.
