This chapter explores the thrilling experience of stepping onto a biplane wing and the intertwined feelings of fear, excitement, and childhood curiosity that accompany such adventures. It delves into the transformative effects of awe, highlighting its neurological benefits and impact on mental well-being through mindful nature experiences. The conversation emphasizes the importance of being present, cultivating a sense of wonder, and appreciating the mundane in fostering personal growth and connectedness.
Caroline Paul, a bestselling author, ex-firefighter, and adventurer, is here with her latest book “Tough Broad,” which explores how nature redefines aging.
This conversation explores the insidious cultural messaging about aging, especially for women, and how nature supports the five pillars of healthy longevity: community, novelty, purpose, health, and a positive mindset about aging itself.
Caroline shares exhilarating stories of women defying expectations—from septuagenarian boogie boarders to a BASE-jumping grandmother—and recounts her wing-walking experience, demonstrating the transformative power of awe in later life.
This exchange is a call to adventure and awe to anyone interested in embracing age with wonder and purpose. Enjoy!
