What if your boldest chapter begins after 65?

At a time when many people are winding down, Sheila Agnew chose to bet on herself and step into an entirely new path — becoming a personal trainer at 65 and inspiring older adults to embrace strength, confidence, and possibility.

Now, at 74, Sheila is thriving! She's living proof that it’s never too late to dream bigger, start fresh, and shine brighter. But her story isn’t just about fitness. It’s about faith, resilience, and the quiet power of small steps that lead to extraordinary transformation.

In this conversation, Sheila shares how a chance encounter at a local gym led her to uncover a passion for helping older adults reach their fitness goals, why she believes in starting small, and how even life’s hardest moments — including a battle with early-stage breast cancer — became opportunities for growth, purpose, and deeper joy.

If you’ve ever thought it’s “too late” to make a change, this episode will challenge that belief and ignite your own possibilities.
