In this episode of the Joyfully Prepared Podcast, Wendi Bergin opens up about two things on her mind: the “Proof of Exhaustion List” we all keep in our heads and the importance of building physical strength as women. From the funny mental tally of tasks we use to justify being tired to the unexpected wrist strength gained through kneading bread, weeding gardens, and even cleaning chicken coops, Wendi shares personal reflections on motherhood, self-care, and resilience. She emphasizes why strength training isn’t just about fitness—it’s about equipping women to meet daily challenges, prevent injuries as we age, and show up stronger for ourselves and our families.
