Women receive toxic messages about aging that lead to a belief in physical decline, risking a constricted lifestyle and limiting outdoor activities. Unlike men, who are not subjected to the same negative narratives, these messages contribute to a psychological barrier for women. Importantly, research indicates that our perception of aging directly influences the aging process itself, underscoring the necessity for a positive and empowering view of age.
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!
