It's normal for people to slowly stop living before they die. But it doesn't have to be.
I'm a healthspan coach passionate about helping women architect and get 100% consistent following an intelligent, personal plan to age in a way that allows them to live (and give) MORE as they get older, rather than less. You can choose to age like a professional, getting chronologically older more rapidly than you are getting biologically older. Thriving in your last few decades rather than gradually withering away. It takes strategy and consistency and a willingness to do things differently, but it can be genuinely fun.
I want my teenagers and their future children to grow up in a world full of wise, powerful women like you taking charge, leading the way, and making a difference for decades to come. Don't let them down. The world needs you!
