About this episode
When you redefine aging for yourself, you may have to swim upstream. There will be resistance: your own as well as others. Having always had certain examples of aging, and a few examples unique to it, to redefine aging you’ll first have to imagine it. 00:00 What do you see? If you’re in a certain relationship or a career, you’ve often without even realizing it defined yourself by those traits. You’re a “teacher” or “nurse” or you’re a “wife” or “mom” or “caregiver.” To redefine aging and rebrand yourself so you can become it, you first have to imagine yourself with a new set of labels or descriptors. What would that be? What would be so delicious and delightful if you jumped out of bed excited for each day? Redefine what you want and see for yourself and you will redefine aging. My guest has made a major career pivot. Not unlike Hollywood celebrities, this fitness celebrity is helping spread the message that we can redefine aging and rebrand ourselves at any age. If I let you enroll me in your reasons, that’s not going to help you. -NatalieJill My Guest: Natalie Jill is a Fat Loss Expert And Creative Sales Strategist who helps women ReIgnite, ReDefine and ReBrand what aging has to mean! 50 years old herself, she is changing conversations around age, potential, and possibility!
