Am I too old to get out of a kayak? This was the question I asked when getting out of a kayak suddenly became difficult; it sparked an unexpected realization about Aging, mindset, and decision-making.

Ask yourself, what happens for you when something you always loved suddenly gets harder? Do you give it up or do you typically get curious about how to make it work? After an awkward (and hilarious) kayaking moment, I share how noticing your thoughts and getting curious can help you avoid quietly giving up parts of your life you still want.

You’ll also learn how small challenges can quietly shrink your life and how to use “life leadership” to adjust instead of give things up. This is how you regret-proof your life!

Please enjoy this episode!
