Women need to get and stay strong, especially as we age.

It's a health risk not to, says obstetrician and gynecologist Jamie Seaman.

In her talk, she shares her own journey from collegiate athlete to mom of three and breaks down why muscle mass is crucial to overall health as you age.

Learn the truth behind the weightlifting myths that prevent so many women from getting serious about strength training and get inspired to start lifting heavy things now.

That was Jamie Seaman speaking at TEDx Greenhouse Road in Houston, Texas in 2023.

For cartoonist Liana Fink, this is what it's all about.

In this funny, moving archive talk, Liana shares how she uses creativity to navigate false starts and cluelessness in the search for belonging, and how drawings have a unique power to guide us through life's predicaments, big and small.
