Are you ready to get out there and start crushing midlife?

If you have any fears about getting older, or you think aging is no fun, you need to listen to this conversation. My guest is Mimi Ison, an athlete, influencer and founder of Hey Middle Age. At age 60, Mimi is pushing herself physically almost every day: boxing and dancing and lifting weights and flying on a trapeze and doing a myriad of other activities that will blow you away. Mimi wants you to realize it's never too late to discover new things about yourself and challenge your body in exciting new ways. To find activities that light you up. And to exceed your expectations of what you are capable of. Like the rest of us, Mimi has also been through some messy midlife stuff. So our chat touches on how you can build not just muscle mass, but emotional resilience and personal strength too.

During this episode Mimi divulges:

• What happened the first time she walked onto a boxing ring
• How she got through a physically and emotionally difficult period in her 50s
• Why she took a pause to listen to her body and take better care of herself
• The big revelation she had on her recent "big" birthday
• Why she thinks it's OK for women to care and talk about their looks
• Why she started her blog as a gift to herself, and how her Instagram turned her into an influencer almost overnight
• How she overcame the fear of putting herself out there and why she's saying "yes" to more opportunities these days
• Why she did an unpaid internship in her 40s, and the freedom she gained from being a beginner in midlife
• What "working out" means to her now, how she makes strength training fun, and how she keeps injuries from derailing her fitness goals

Mimi also tells you how you can find an activity or workout that fits your lifestyle, and she shares her top three tips on how to love and celebrate your body right now—no matter where you are on your fitness journey.
