In a society that tells us to fade quietly as we get older, leaning into our age is a radical act of self-care and defiance.
When I challenge myself physically, mentally, and spiritually, I’m not trying to prove anything to anyone. I’m reminding myself who I am. I trained for months to be able to do unassisted pull-ups in my 60s, not to turn back the clock, but to honor the body I live in right now. Every lift, every balance, every breath is a statement: I’m still here, and I’m still growing.
When I started training for pull-ups I was still a bit tender from a 2+ year recovery from a rotator cuff tear, so I started out with that handicap and had to take it slow.
Also, keep in mind our kids are watching. When we push past limits that were never meant for us and choose not to shrink, we show them what it means to live fully at every age. We’re not just taking care of ourselves. We’re reshaping what’s possible for the next generation.
What would it look like for you to step fully into who you are right now, not despite your age, but because of it?
