What if midlife wasn’t the time to slow down—but to get stronger, happier, and more confident in your body than ever before? In this first episode of our Changemakers series, Cheryl talks with Inessa Love, founder of Sassy Silver Surfers and advocate for active aging. Inessa discovered surfing at 50 and says it completely transformed her life—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

She’s now helping women all over the world see that it’s never too late to start something new, get stronger, and have more fun than ever.

What You'll Learn After Listening:

• Why your self-definition about what you “can” or “can’t” do is often the biggest barrier
• The surprising benefits of learning something new in midlife
• What surfing can teach us about strength, joy, and resilience
• How to find your version of movement that you love (and why it doesn’t have to be “exercise”)
• The powerful connection between movement, confidence, and community
• How one 85-year-old cyclist changed Inessa’s perspective on aging forever

Take Action

• Don’t overthink it. Just start. Find something you love, do it with a friend, and keep going. “The more you move, the stronger you become.”
• Follow Inessa Love and her community of midlife surfers on Instagram at @sassysilversurfers or join their private Facebook group for women 50+ who surf (or are surf-curious).
