Strength, Survival & Building A Movement With Zoe Starr

Episode 59 started in the most unexpected way, in the middle of a CrossFit competition, after I had injured myself and was desperately trying to find someone to step in and help my team finish the day. With no preparation, whilst being sick and undertrained, the wonderful Zoe said yes without hesitation and helped us not only finish, but place first. And from that moment, I knew there was something different about her.In this episode, Zoe shares her story, from being the youngest of six in a sporty family, to navigating multiple career paths before backing herself in the fitness industry, to overcoming abusive relationships that ultimately reshaped her connection to strength, both physically and mentally.We dive into how she built her business from the ground up, evolving from “Zoe Starr” into the Strong Girl Movement, and how her mission has shifted into helping women feel strong, supported, and connected to their bodies in a more holistic way.We also talk about: • The reality of starting over and backing yourself • Using fitness as a tool for healing vs punishment • Why strength looks different for every woman • The lessons she learned about herself from relationships that held the same reoccurring pattern but weren't serving her • Building multiple businesses, including her charity-based run club • Her evolving focus on women’s health, including contraception and postpartumThis conversation is raw, real, and a powerful reminder that strength isn’t just about how you train, it’s about how you show up for yourself through everything life throws at you.This episode contains discussions around abusive relationships, as well as topics related to weight loss injections and contraception.
