About No-Nonsense Aging

Ageing Honestly: Real Talk on Ageing for Women Over 60 Women over 60 often hear two messages: either fight ageing and try to look younger, or just smile, be grateful, and remain positive. Neither is true, and you’re probably tired of hearing both. My name is Penelope Lane. I’m a clinical psychologist with 38 years of experience, as well as a fitness trainer and mindfulness teacher. After going through my own personal challenges, I learned that we can approach ageing differently. To face what’s real, feel our emotions, and rebuild from there. I call this approach Whole Strength. It’s based on four steps I use every day: Notice It, Open To It, Rebuild, and Live It Daily. It’s okay to dislike getting older and still love the person you’re becoming. Both feelings are real, at the same time, and that's okay. This podcast is for women who want honest conversations about ageing. There’s no forced positivity or anti-ageing hype here. Just honest talk about what’s true and what really helps. Welcome to Ageing Honestly. You can check out my website here: https://www.penelopelane.com.au/ Love Penelope🌷

   Neither Fighting Nor Pretending For Women Over 60

   Women hear two main messages about getting older. One says fight it: buy the creams, keep pushing, treat ageing as a problem you can solve if you just try hard enough. The other says pretend: smile when you want to cry, be grateful, find the silver lining. I've tried both and neither worked for me. In this episode I share: What fighting looked like when I went back to the heavy weights after two painful disc herniations, and why I told myself I was fine.What pretending looked like when a frie...

   I'm Fine or Am I?

   "I'm fine, thanks." I've said it a thousand times without really meaning it, and I bet you have too. In this episode, I talk about that habit: the automatic " I’m fine" that slips out before you even think. I’ll explore why we do it, what it costs us, and how it can leave you feeling unheard even when you're with others. I’ll also share what happens, even physically, when you finally say what’s really true to someone who truly listens. I'm Penelope, a clinical psychologist and fit...

   Why That Coffee Mattered More Than I Realised

   An ordinary coffee after fitness class turned into something I'm still thinking about weeks later. Losses big and small shared out loud, a closed bakery, a bad knee, a friend who's gone. In this episode, I share what that coffee taught me about connection as we age, the research linking isolation to a significantly higher risk of dementia, and a simple practice called No Agenda you can try this week with just one person, no plan required. I'm Penelope, a clinical psychologist and fitnes...
