Recognizing and embracing the current stage of life, rather than clinging to youth, is essential for a fulfilling experience. It is important to approach this phase with a sense of adventure, allowing for attributes traditionally associated with youth—such as fun, play, and a touch of recklessness—while not mistaking this attitude for a desire to reclaim younger years. Engaging in adventures should be a means of enjoyment and exploration, not a misguided attempt to prove one's vitality or youth. Acknowledging the passage of time while still prioritizing joy and excitement leads to a healthier perspective on aging.
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!
