What would you attempt if you stopped letting age define your limits? 💥

At 74, Mary Newell isn’t slowing down—she’s speeding up.

Three years after she first joined us on the podcast, Mary is back and more unstoppable than ever. Since our first conversation in 2021, she’s continued to challenge what’s possible in her 70s, racking up more achievements and embodying the bold spirit of reinvention.

Once a quiet bookworm with no interest in athletics, Mary transformed herself into a fierce, goal-driven runner who’s completed everything from marathons in Jamaica to climbing all 104 floors of the World Trade Center! Oh, and did we mention she ran 100 miles for her 70th birthday? 🎉🏃‍♀️

This inspiring conversation is a masterclass in self-belief, grit, and curiosity. Mary opens up about pushing past self-doubt, training through all kinds of weather, and how movement became her form of meditation and joy.

One of her most powerful declarations?

“I am my own heroine.”

A true Reinvention Rebel mindset—and a reminder that we all have the power to become the shero of our own story.

We explore:

✨ How Mary went from non-athlete to marathoner in midlife 🏃‍♀️📚
 ✨ What she’s learned over the last 3 years of her reinvention journey ⏳💫
 ✨ The myths that hold women back—and how she shattered them 💥🚫
 ✨ Why setting small, joyful goals can lead to unexpected triumphs 🎯🎉
 ✨ How she stays motivated, inspired, and energized at 74 💪🔥💖

This episode is a love letter to possibility, perseverance, and the rebel spirit that lives inside all of us. 

🎧 Tune in and be inspired to run toward your own bold next chapter.
