"What nature asks of us when we go outside is to be strong, is to use our cognitive faculties, to be nimble, to be exhilarated, and to be brave. All of that flies in the face of what we're told about our aging ." ⛰️ 💪🏾

Caroline Paul, a true renaissance woman, has spent her life shattering stereotypes and embracing adventure. 

In this episode, we journey alongside Caroline as she shares her remarkable experiences, from the remote landscapes of Siberia to the exhilarating waves of the Pacific Ocean. We discuss her latest book, "Tough Broad," and explore the transformative power of outdoor adventures for women (and men) as they age. 

Takeaways:

  1. Embrace awe 🧘‍♀️ It can lower inflammation, boost positivity.
  2. Assess real risks 🤷‍♂️ We often blow them out of proportion.
  3. Find accountability buddies 🫂 They add fun, community, motivation!
  4. Expand your comfort zone 💪 Small steps upend expectations.
  5. Seek novelty 🏔 It's key for health, happiness and longevity.
Time to ditch narratives about "frailty" and get rad! 🚀
