- From Full-Time Foodie to Powerlifter at 60, One Writer's Empowering Story, with Jill Silva Jay Croft 21:41
Imagine if your job was to review restaurants, test recipes, and hobnob with the foodiest of the foodies in a major American city.
Well, my friend Jill Silva has had that job for decades. She was the Food editor of the Kansas City Star for more than 20 years and now has a PR business focusing on food and dining.
Now, at 60, Jill has a new passion: Powerlifting.
Jill’s is the kind of story you need to be sharing with your prospects, clients, and communities. It’s relatable and inspiring. She says she feels, moves, and looks great, and she’s finding new confidence — even a little swagger, if you ask me.Â
“I might never be that skinny young thing again, but that’s OK,” she says. “I’m strong, I feel great, and I won’t need to use a walker when I’m 80.”
