Most people don’t lose freedom because of age — they lose it because they never designed it.

In this episode of Next Act Ninjas, Dr. Rachael Van Pelt reveals how your home, habits, and health can either anchor you to the past or launch you into your Next Act. Through powerful stories, science-backed insights, and a “Freedom Floor Plan” exercise, you’ll learn why adaptability — not comfort — is the real anti-aging formula.

You’ll discover:

• Why our parents’ “age-in-place” model is failing us
• The three myths keeping homeowners stuck (and broke)
• The biology of adaptability — and how novelty, movement, and proactive change rejuvenate your body and brain
• How to align Function + Flow + Future to design your own blueprint for freedom
