Hate getting older?
Good. Let that be your turning point.
Once you stop burning your physical, mental, and emotional resources trying to "turn back the clock" (a battle no one can win), you can start building real strength in the right places – body, mind, heart, soul.
Strong enough to haul your own suitcase in Paris. Switched on enough to remember names, appointments, and your bloody keys. Resilient enough to handle whatever comes. And present enough to stop living in your head – so you actually enjoy your life.
Hi, I'm Penelope –
a 67-year-old psychologist, mindfulness teacher, fitness and brain HEALTH trainer.
Like a lot of women, I spent years pretending that getting older wasn’t happening to me. Until the morning, I woke up in excruciating pain, unable to get out of bed.
It was a brutal, undignified wake-up call… but also the moment everything became clearer. Physical strength isn’t the thing that keeps you independent – at least, not on its own.
If you’ve ever felt dismissed by “age gracefully” platitudes or worn out by the pressure to “turn back the clock,” you’re in the right place. My work brings together mindful movement, brain-body training, self-compassion, and soul reflection to help women over 60 build real capacity and strength: the kind that gives you a reason to get out of bed, not just the ability to do it.
“Is this as good as it gets?”
You're ticking every box – staying active, doing your Wordle, keeping "busy," meditating (well, you try, sometimes) – and still wondering why life feels a little beige around the edges. Or maybe you've had a sharper wake-up call: a health scare that left you horizontal, a diagnosis that changed everything, or that moment at the doctor's when you realised you're now officially "elderly."
Every time you catch your reflection, there's that split second where you don't recognise yourself. When did I get so old? That voice – disgusted, disappointed, ashamed – is ageing you faster than time is. And trying to fight it with "ageing is beautiful" positivity doesn't work either when you don't actually believe it.
If this resonates with you, my 30-day Stop Ageing Yourself Faster mini-course is for you. Three short modules to help you move from "I hate what I see in the mirror" to "I can work with this" – helping you stop ageing yourself faster and rebuild strength from the inside out.
