What if getting older was your invitation to play harder, lift heavier, and dance more freely?

In this replay from the Late Bloomer Living vault, I’m joined by Mimi Ison — a fierce pro-aging advocate and the radiant energy behind @heymiddleage.

Mimi discovered boxing in her 50s and keeps fitness fun with shuffle dancing and strength training. Her approach to movement is joyful, stylish, and totally unapologetic — and her message is clear: aging doesn’t mean giving up on your body. It means discovering new ways to love it.

If you’ve ever felt intimidated by fitness culture or wondered how to stay strong as you age, Mimi’s story will remind you that strength and fun are not mutually exclusive — and they’re definitely not just for the young.
