Navigating Chronic Illness, Corporate America & Strength Training I EP 18

Yolanda Tyler is a competitive powerlifter, nonprofit founder, and living example of resilience in motion. In this powerful episode of the Elevated Flo Podcast, Yolanda shares her journey navigating chronic illness, corporate America, and community leadership, while redefining strength on her own terms.

After being medically discharged from the U.S. Navy and spending years searching for answers, Yolanda was eventually diagnosed with Crohn’s disease following a life-threatening emergency surgery. Told she’d never lift more than 30 pounds, she chose a different path, one that led her to competitive powerlifting, personal healing, and purpose-driven impact.

We dive into how Yolanda advocates for herself in corporate spaces, protects her energy, uses strength training as therapy, and turns lived experience into service through the Resile One Foundation. From mental health and counseling to financial literacy and community resilience, this conversation is honest, empowering, and deeply inspiring.

🎙️ Plus, Yolanda shares when she feels most in her elevated flow state, passes the torch to younger and older women, and joins Coach Flo for exclusive After Flo Patreon questions where she shares some power truths about working in corporate America.
