Bringing Hula Hoop Joy at 68

  1. Bringing Hula Hoop Joy at 68 Ande Lyons 35:22

What if a Health scare at 58 led you to the most joyful decade of your life?

That's exactly what happened to Sirenna Beyer. 

After facing high blood pressure and alarming cholesterol levels, she picked up a hula hoop – and everything changed. 

Now at 68, she's built a thriving business, a vibrant community she calls “Hoop Love,” and a complete transformation of her health, confidence, and joy.

In this episode, Sirenna shares the emotional journey behind her wake-up call, why fun and play are secret weapons for healthy Aging, and how movement can reconnect you with yourself… and a whole new community.

You'll hear:

  • Why Sirenna's health scare became the best thing that ever happened to her
  • How she gave herself permission to be playful, visible, and joyful after 65
  • Why she calls hooping “Exercise in disguise” — and why that matters
  • The surprising friendships and belonging that grew out of Hoop Love
  • Her message for anyone feeling stuck, invisible, or disconnected right now
