Hello and welcome to this episode of the ESG Fitness podcast. This podcast was inspired by a question I got from a brand new client.

And I thought this was a much better way to answer the question because I've gone away. I've done some research. I've taken some time. I've written down my thoughts. And as I'm sure

most people can tell, I prefer to talk my thoughts than write them, which is why I have a podcast

and not blog. So the question is, how can I handle a quote-unquote stuck mindset?

The fear that age and perimenopause makes everything a lost cause.

I'm embarrassed about this mindset, but alas, it's how I feel.

I think this will resonate with a lot of people.

And I think there is this weird, like, societal fear of aging,

which is odd because the only way to avoid aging is to die,

which I'm assuming most people don't want to do either.

And the only other option really is to accept it and then to embrace it.

Like I think maybe accepting first and then embrace it, which hopefully by the end of this podcast,

I know that might seem like a long way off for a lot of people, but here is my challenge.

By the end of this podcast, I want you to be embracing it.

And as I was reading this question,

it also made me think of a question Shona asked me,

which was, do you think you have peaked?

And it was a bit tongue and cheek,

and it was like a bit, it was meant to be a bit of a joke,

so I'm not, I'm not like calling her out on this.

But what she meant was do you think you've peaked physically, like the way you look, the way

you perform?
