Life doesn't always respect your perfectly planned training week. If you're a woman over 40 following a strength training program, you might be juggling sleep swings, work crunches, hormonal shifts, caretaking, and everything in between. This episode breaks down how to keep your momentum without falling into the all-or-nothing trap so you still get a damn good training stimulus on busy days.

Steph explains a simple framework for structured flexibility – keeping the big-picture plan while adapting the day's session. You'll learn three practical ways to modify workouts using RPE / RIR, so you can train smarter, protect progress, and stay consistent in midlife.

What you'll learn in this episode:

Why "all or nothing" thinking keeps sabotaging your strength progress after 40
The simple shift that lets you keep momentum even when life gets chaotic
Three creative ways to make workouts shorter without losing results
How to know if you're still training hard enough on those scaled-back days
The mindset reframe that makes consistency possible long-term
