Donnie Moss explains how she went from cardio-only routines to strength training at 55 and why she now pushes “move every day” as the baseline for feeling better. She shares a practical approach built around short, doable workouts that help midlife women rebuild consistency without making fitness an all-or-nothing identity. The conversation also gets real about menopause symptoms that can feel scary when nobody has named them, plus how mindset and self-talk can shape follow-through. You’ll leave with simple starting points, a clearer way to measure progress, and the motivation to take one small step today that stacks into momentum.

Filmmaker David Donnelly joins us to discuss his new documentary Forever Young, an exploration of the rapidly advancing science of longevity. What began as a skeptical investigation into whether the hype around anti-aging breakthroughs was real ultimately revealed a growing body of research focused on extending healthspan and preventing disease. We examine what the science supports today, from the role of prevention and lifestyle to emerging therapies now entering human trials. Along the way, David raises larger questions about purpose, social connection, and how society must adapt as people begin to live longer and healthier lives.

Key Moments
“The bigger idea is that the spine plays a critical role in how the body functions. When communication gets interrupted, the body can work less than optimally… sometimes with no pain at all.”
“The body isn’t fragmented. It’s more like a hologram—everything is connected to everything else. If one part has an issue, it can affect the whole.”
“Instead of only asking ‘what stops disease,’ ask: ‘what creates health?’ That’s salutogenesis—the creation of health.”

Judi Wineland, world traveler and founder of AdventureWomen explains how a lifetime of extreme travel shaped her idea of “aliveness,” and why the right trip can change your relationship to your body, your confidence, and your attention. She breaks down what happens when women travel together without the labels and expectations they carry at home, and why that can unlock sharper honesty, better friendships, and a renewed sense of play. You’ll hear how awe, discomfort, and laughter become practical tools for building resilience, whether you’re walking an old pilgrimage route in Japan or feeling tiny on the Serengeti. If you want a clear-eyed take on how travel can support wellness, fitness, and personal momentum at any age, this episode is a blueprint.

Key Moments
“It’s not just about travel. And we had these wonderful conversations and we laugh a lot because we also do these trips and go out and challenge ourselves a bit.”
“You have to be open to it. You have to be ready and vulnerable, ready for vulnerabilities.”
“Well, I would want to maybe challenge the fact that not all of us, not all people are as brave. You have to be a little bit vulnerable to allow yourself to be open, to allow others in, to allow the earth in, to allow the air in, to allow things to affect you.”
