#135 - How Linda (72) rehabbed injuries and feels 10 years younger
Episode 135
Friday, 11 April, 2025

In this episode, I’m joined by my amazing client Linda Heywood — a 72-year-old retired kindergarten teacher from Pennsylvania — who decided she wasn’t going to accept decline as inevitable. After years of creeping pain, injuries, and feeling like she was slowing down, Linda found our program and decided to give it a shot. What followed? A total shift in energy, strength, and mindset. She shares how she went from crutches and knee braces to walking hills, squatting for minutes at a time, playing with her grandkids, painting again without fatigue, and feeling more alive than she has in years. We talk about: The power of daily steps and sleep Why aging doesn’t have to mean decline Her experience overcoming skepticism around online coaching How foundational habits (like morning routines, journaling, and mobility work) helped her get her body and purpose back on track.
