Stephanie Newcomb - Embrace the Hard

Most women have been told to get thinner. Stephanie Newcomb believes they should get stronger.

In this episode of iHuman, Christine Lavaf sits down with strength coach and founder of Unleashed Health & Fitness, Stephanie Newcomb, to explore why lifting weights may be one of the most transformative things a woman can do—for her body, her mind, and her confidence.

Together they dive into strength training, protein, longevity, menopause, motherhood, body image, discipline, emotional resilience, and why confidence doesn't come from thinking differently—it comes from doing hard things.

About the Podcast

iHuman with Christine Lavaf
The Future of Fitness, Health & Relationships
Christine Lavaf is a Canadian/American screenwriter, producer and entrepreneur. She's the founder of Tough Cookie Entertainment, a media company, and GRYP, the first slow-release protein bar.

She created iHuman to explore the ideas, breakthroughs and personal journeys shaping the future of human potential. We can reshape our bodies, extend our health span, optimize our performance, engineer our environments and increasingly delegate our thinking to machines. The rules of fitness, health, relationships, work and even identity are being rewritten in real time. But beneath all the innovation lies a deeper question: Are we becoming better humans?

Each week, Christine sits down with world-class athletes, physicians, scientists, entrepreneurs, psychologists, coaches, authors and cultural thinkers for conversations that go far beyond headlines and hot takes. Together, they explore:

• Fitness and physical transformation
• Longevity and health optimization
• Nutrition and performance
• Relationships, connection and intimacy
• Psychology, resilience and personal growth
• Technology, AI and the future of humanity
• The habits, beliefs and decisions that shape extraordinary lives

Whether you're pursuing physical excellence, searching for deeper connection, navigating modern life or simply fascinated by where humanity is headed next, iHuman is a place for thoughtful conversations about the future—and your place within it.
