Tough Broad: From Boogie Boarding to Wing Walking – How Outdoor Adventure Improves Our Lives as We Age
Caroline Paul is no stranger to adventure. But she’d often wondered why women are rarely encouraged to adventure into old age. That question drove her quest to understand the science, psychology, and health benefits of adventure in our lives.
We discuss the five pillars of adventure and how they lead to a more fulfilling life. What adventure really means. Some of the many amazing women around the country who are boogie boarding in their 80s, learning to skateboard in their 50s, and stretching beyond their comfort zones even from a wheelchair. How to cultivate awe in small moments and everyday things, and why that’s important. Caroline also shares her key takeaways from the experts she talked with and the research she conducted to improve longevity, and encourage physical and emotional wellbeing into old age.
