Join me and guest, Alyssa Ages, for the second episode in a series of conversations about the athlete mindset.

Alyssa is a journalist, published author, strongwoman competitor, endurance athlete, former fitness trainer, and mom to two vivacious daughters. Mindset has and continues to play a pivotal role in Alyssa's life whether its writing to meet a deadline, preparing for a strongman event, running a marathon, or raising her two daughters.

Alyssa is the author of "Secrets of Giants, A Journey to Uncover the True Meaning of Strength." After experiencing a significant loss, Alyssa went from flipping monster truck tires and walking with 300 pounds on her back to barely managing to get dressed. After a long time away, when Alyssa returned to the world of lifting heavy things and found herself coming back to life she asked: What if strength isn't about how much we can lift? What if it's about how we manage life's struggles?

In Secrets of Giants, Alyssa interviews strongman competitors, psychologists, researchers, and coaches who offer insights into the myriad of ways that the pursuit of strength can permeate every aspect of our lives, from building resilience and confidence, to finding joy in discomfort, to teaching us to handle adversity.
