Listen Later

You know how life can throw surprises at you? Host, Wendy Green shares her latest adventure—three doctor appointments in one week! Talk about a reality check, right? As she reflects on her life at 71, she reminisces about the perky days of youth, all while pondering when that carefree spirit shifted. But here’s the kicker: it’s not about lamenting lost youth; it’s about recognizing that change happens gradually, like a favorite pair of jeans that get a little worn over time. In today’s episode, we tackle the idea of holistic wellness, focusing on body, mind, and spirit. Wendy dives into her own experiences, from growing up with an athletic dad to her current love for cooking healthy meals. She gets us thinking about what health really means. Is it just about not being sick? Heck no! It’s about energy, clarity, and connection. Wendy encourages us to dig deeper into what wellness means for us personally, especially as we navigate the complexities of aging. So let’s get real and celebrate not just aging, but evolving into our best selves!

Takeaways:

  • Aging is a gradual process, and we can still nurture our wellness with love and intention.
  • Health and wellness go beyond just being free from sickness; it's about energy, connection, and purpose.
  • It's essential to recognize our energy drainers, like guilt and worry, and seek joy-filled moments.
  • Finding joy can be as simple as dancing in the kitchen or enjoying quiet reflection in nature.
  • We often resist things that are good for us due to fear; understanding this can lead to positive change.
  • Wellness is a journey that allows us to evolve and reconnect with what makes us feel alive.
