165. Become the Woman Who Trains: Consistency, Confidence, and Strength at Any Age with Coach Tina McInnes
We're kicking off a brand new year with the perfect conversation: how to build consistency, confidence, and real strength — no matter your age, stage, or starting point.
So many women WANT to be consistent with exercise, but life, perfectionism, and unrealistic expectations often get in the way. In this episode, we talk honestly about how to overcome those barriers, start where you are, and build a training lifestyle you’ll still be proud of next December.
My guest is Coach Tina McInnes, an educator and strength coach who helps women understand their bodies, build confidence, and create sustainable habits that last. Through her program Women Who Want Muscle, Tina has created a supportive, science-backed community where women learn how to lift effectively, navigate midlife changes, and stay consistent through accountability and coaching.
Together, we explore what actually creates consistency, how women’s training needs evolve in their 40s, 50s, and beyond, and how to design a realistic routine that supports longevity, resilience, and self-belief.

Why does staying on track with weight loss often feel so much easier during the week, only to become more challenging once Friday afternoon rolls around?
What happens after you’ve lost the weight you wanted to lose?
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Tasneem Sajwani, Medical Director of the Edmonton Weight Management Centre, for a behind-the-scenes look at the world of obesity medicine.
