5 things I care MORE about in my 60s than I did in my 40s…

Funny how getting older changes your priorities.

In my 40s, I was focused on doing more, achieving more and perhaps caring a little too much about what other people thought.

Now, at 63, I see things differently.

1. Staying STRONG.
Not just to look strong, but to stay capable, independent and confident in my body for as long as possible.

2. Having BOUNDLESS ENERGY.
I want the energy to travel, explore, train, laugh, love, work, create and fully enjoy this chapter of my life.

3. Staying CURIOUS and continuing to evolve.
I never want to stop learning, growing or becoming. I don’t believe we ever reach a point where we are a finished version of ourselves.

4. Keeping my circle SMALLER.
I value quality over quantity. I want to surround myself with people who genuinely love me, support me, celebrate me and want to see me thrive.

5. Above all… PROTECTING MY PEACE. 🕊️
Peace over drama.
Peace over proving myself.
Peace over people-pleasing.
Peace over anything that costs me my wellbeing.

Maybe one of the greatest gifts of getting older is realizing that your energy is precious and you get to choose where you spend it.

At 63, I’m not trying to be younger.

I’m focused on being stronger, more alive, more curious, more selective and more at peace.

What matters MORE to you now than it did in your 40s? ❤️

Humans, our egos, women, our misplaced need for perfection.

I saw myself on camera… and I cringed.

There it was.

My 63-year-old body.
A little softer than usual.
A little extra around the middle.
A very obvious reminder that I am, in fact, human.

After a wonderful summer of friends visiting, more cocktails, dinners, laughter and letting go a little, I’d gained five pounds.

And suddenly, I found myself wondering:

How can I teach fitness and wellness when I don’t look “perfect”?

But then I had to ask myself a much bigger question…

What if the goal was never to look perfect?

I’ve spent 35+ years in fitness and wellness. I’ve worked hard, raised two amazing children, navigated heartbreak, healing, stress, moving countries many times, menopause, ageing and somehow continued showing up.

This summer taught me something about balance.

Sometimes you push.
Sometimes you play.
Sometimes you choose the salad.
Sometimes you have the cocktail. 🍸
And sometimes you simply show up in the body you have today.

Because this body has carried me through 63 years of life.

And honestly?

That feels far more worth celebrating than a flat stomach ever could.

I wrote the full story including the five pounds, the beach photoshoot, the jelly belly, and the lesson I’m still learning about ageing, perfection and self-compassion.

This last slide was not part of the beautiful professional photoshoot btw 😂😂😂
