Join Shawna Kaminski and Alli Kerr as they welcome back an incredible guest — DonnaJean Wilde! Last time, DonnaJean amazed us by setting the Guinness World Record for the longest plank at over 4.5 hours. This time, she’s back with an even bigger accomplishment: breaking the Guinness World Record for the most push-ups completed by a female in one hour, an astonishing 1,575 push-ups! Not only that, but DonnaJean also launched her brand-new book From Minutes To Hours designed to inspire and coach others toward achieving their biggest goals.

We dive into DonnaJean’s journey to this second world record, uncovering the grit, determination, and mindset it took to achieve it. She shares the emotional story of breaking the record inside a senior home, with her mother-in-law watching proudly from the audience. DonnaJeanss perseverance was put to the ultimate test — at 55 minutes, her right arm was sore and at 58 minutes, her shoulder dislocated! Yet, she had already pushed past the threshold needed to secure her victory. Her story reminds us that success often looks different than we plan, but determination and preparation can carry us across the finish line.

DonnaJean walks us through how she broke down her huge goal into manageable baby steps, making it feel achievable day-by-day. We talk about the importance of mindset: getting into the “zone,” overcoming discomfort, and staying laser-focused even when the body is screaming to stop. Whether you're aiming for a fitness goal, writing a book, or simply striving to be your best self, DonnaJean’s approach offers tangible lessons anyone can apply to their own dreams.

As women, we have a unique opportunity to inspire those around us — family, friends, and entire communities — at any age. DonnaJean proves that growth, learning, and goal-setting don't stop at a certain birthday. In fact, it's never too late to set audacious goals and go after them with your whole heart. Her journey is a powerful reminder that our greatest achievements might still be ahead of us.

We’re honored to have DonnaJean back for a second time (check out episode 42 for our first interview) — and true to our word, we’ll keep inviting her back with every new record she sets! Tune in for an unforgettable conversation full of heart, resilience, and unstoppable energy. Get ready to be inspired to dream bigger, push harder, and keep believing in what's possible — no matter where you are on your healthy aging journey!
