Finding joy in everyday experiences often deepens with age, highlighting the potential beauty in what may once have seemed mundane. This realization underscores the importance of staying engaged with life’s possibilities. Embracing aging involves focusing on five essential pillars: community, novelty, purpose, health, and maintaining a positive view of one's own aging. These pillars are crucial throughout life but often diminish with time, necessitating active efforts to sustain them. Outdoor adventures can play a significant role in fulfilling these pillars, creating a holistic approach to a fulfilling later life.
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!
