114: Shawna's First Weight Lifting Competition & Why She Took the Leap: With Shawna & Alli

In this fun and inspiring episode of the Girls Talk Healthy Aging Podcast, co-hosts Shawna Kaminski and Alli Kerr catch up and dive into Shawna's incredible weekend adventure—stepping onto the platform for a weight lifting competition in her early 60s. Shawna shares what motivated her to take on this new challenge, what it was really like to compete, and why removing the pressure to "win" completely changed the experience. Instead of focusing on rankings, Shawna set personal goals, embraced the learning process, and discovered just how empowering it can be to try something brand new later in life. Inspired by her daughter Hannah (from episode 66), Shawna proves that it's truly never too late to learn a new skill, challenge your body, and surprise yourself. This candid, girls-talk conversation is full of laughter, reflection, and powerful reminders that strength comes in many forms—and that confidence and courage don't have an age limit. Whether you're curious about strength training, considering a new challenge, or just need a boost of motivation, this episode will leave you inspired by Shawna's resilience, bravery, and undeniable strength—inside and out. 💪✨ *Subscribe, Share, & Rate our Show.
