In this episode, I dive into the importance of representation, especially when it comes to perimenopause and healthcare. After speaking as a panelist at Senator Angela McKnight’s Power in the Pause: Thriving Through Menopause event, I left with a powerful reminder—who we see in positions of influence and expertise matters.I also discuss the deep-rooted mistrust many African Americans have toward the medical system due to historical exploitation, and how this affects healthcare decisions today. Beyond medicine, I connect this to fitness, where representation is just as crucial. It’s why I always make a point to mention my age—because in an industry dominated by younger fitness influencers, I want women over 50 to see what’s possible for them.Where to find me or work with me:Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@IronStrongFit ⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠IronStrongFitness.net⁠⁠My small group strength training schedule in Jersey City: https://www.ironstrongfitness.net/scheduleEpisodes drop once a week
