I’ve been a little quiet here lately.

Life has been full, and my family has needed my attention. We’re navigating one of those seasons of life that many of us will eventually face—helping care for an aging parent.

It’s one of the hardest seasons I’ve experienced, for so many reasons.

I’m learning that caring for an aging parent isn’t just about helping with appointments, medications, and day-to-day needs. It’s also about being their advocate.

It’s about asking questions.
Speaking up when something doesn’t seem right.
Being willing to ask, “Could we look into this further?”
Making sure concerns are heard and that important questions aren’t overlooked.

The reality is that the healthcare system is complicated, and even with wonderful healthcare professionals, things can sometimes be missed. Tests don’t always get ordered. Symptoms can be overlooked. Communication doesn’t always happen the way it should.

I’ve learned that you can’t be afraid to respectfully speak up when you’re advocating for someone you love.

At the same time, I’m reminded of why I talk so much about strength and health here.

We spend years working on our own strength, mobility, balance, and overall health—and then life reminds us that strength isn’t only about what happens in the gym.

Sometimes strength is showing up.
Sometimes it’s making the difficult phone call.

Sometimes it’s asking the hard question.

Sometimes it’s sitting beside someone you love and making sure their voice is heard.

This is a hard season, and I know so many of you are navigating something similar with parents, spouses, or loved ones.

I’m not sure when I’ll be back to posting regularly, but I wanted to say hello and share a little of what’s been on my heart.

Take care of yourselves. And if you’re caring for someone you love, remember to take care of yourself, too. ❤️

I used to think more was better. These days, I know better. At 62, recovery is part of the plan, not a sign of weakness. Three challenging lifting sessions a week are enough for me to build strength, maintain muscle, and enjoy life outside the gym. Aging well isn’t about doing the most—it’s about doing what you can sustain for decades.

Society acts like aging is a reason to stop trying.

I see it as a reason to keep going.

I don’t train to stay young.

I train so I can enjoy every decade I’m fortunate enough to reach.

At 62, I’m not trying to be 25 again.

I’m showing that getting older can still look strong, capable, confident, and full of life.✌🏻

I’m not trying to be my younger self. I’m showing what’s possible now. And I hope more women feel excited—not afraid—about growing older. ✨

At 62, I’m not trying to “look younger.”

I’m showing up fully as I am—stronger, wiser, more grounded, and more comfortable in my own skin than ever before.

Somewhere along the way women were told life fades after 50.

I don’t believe that.

This season can feel vibrant.
Powerful.
Confident.
Free.

Getting older isn’t something to fear.
It can be something to look forward to. 🤍

62 yesterday.🎉
And no… I don’t feel ‘old.’

I feel more aware of recovery. More appreciative of movement. More protective of my peace. More grateful for health.

My workouts look different now. My body requires more care than punishment. But I still love feeling strong, capable, and alive in this body.

Aging isn’t about becoming less.
It’s about becoming more honest about what matters.

Here’s to 62 🤍

The hardest comparison after 60…Your younger self.

One of the biggest mindset shifts after 60 is accepting that your body may not move, recover, or perform like it once did.

That doesn’t mean you stop showing up for yourself.

I’ve had to modify workouts because of neck issues. I no longer run because my body simply doesn’t like how it feels anymore. My stamina is different. Recovery takes longer. And yes — sometimes there’s emotion tied to that.

We don’t talk enough about the mental side of aging physically.

But I’ve learned something important:
You can deeply miss parts of your younger self AND still love the person you are becoming.

Aging strong isn’t about denial.
It’s about adaptation, self-respect, and continuing to move in ways that support your current body.

Different doesn’t mean less powerful.

Aging isn’t something that just happens to you.

It reflects what you continue to do—or stop doing.

In your 60s, it’s not about doing more.
It’s about doing what actually works.

Consistent strength training.
Intentional movement.
Taking care of your body instead of fighting it.

You don’t need extreme workouts or constant intensity.
You need a plan you can stick to.

Because strength doesn’t disappear with age—

it fades when it’s no longer a priority.

Take control of the process…
and this stage of life can feel stronger than you expected.

Aging Strong…but lifting LESS each decade.💪🏻

I used to think doing more was the key to staying strong.

In my 40s, I could train hard every day and bounce right back.

In my 50s, I was still consistent—but recovery started whispering, “slow down.”

In my 60s, I’ve learned to listen.
I still lift. I still challenge myself.
But now I respect recovery just as much as the workout.

Because here’s the truth—
strength isn’t built by doing more…
it’s built by doing what your body actually needs.
And that changes with time.

If you’re feeling like you “can’t do what you used to,”
good. You’re not supposed to.
You’re evolving. Train like it.
