From creaky knees and constant tiredness to the “good for your age” narrative, this episode unpacks why you are not broken, why it’s not too late, and how small, consistent choices (plus a kinder mindset) create big change.We’ll look at how the cultural script around older women ("she looks amazing for 45") messes with motivation, why aches, niggles and feeling less-than-energised don’t mean the start of decline, and how to replace the “I’m broken” story with “I’m under-informed”. You’ll learn to meet your body where it is, build...
