If you’ve ever felt like you have to "get it right" to see results with your arms, this episode is your permission slip to let that go.

What “failing forward” really looks like when you’re serious about results
One small but powerful shift you can make this week — no perfection required
This episode is for the woman who’s tired of starting over… and ready to keep going with grace, grit, and arms she’s proud of.
Your strongest self isn’t the perfect one. She’s the one who doesn’t quit.

This isn’t about trying harder. It’s about finally understanding why the things you “already know”… still haven’t changed your body — and what to do about it.
