Stop Dreading Getting Older. This 77-Year-Old Changed Everything I Thought About Aging!

If the thought of getting older fills you with more dread than anything else, this conversation is for you. I brought back one of my all-time favorite guests, Ally Phillips, for a second visit on The SavvyCast, and if you caught her first episode, you already know why. Ally will be 77 this October, her husband Pop just turned 84, and she will tell you herself that she found her stride in her sixties. She exemplifies what it looks like to age well after 60. Aging can feel like a burden, but Ally is proof that your best years aren't behind you! In this episode, Ally shares the mindset that has carried her through some of life's hardest seasons, her fitness routine, her three simple eating philosophies, what she has learned about how to stay strong as you age when so many people around her are slowing down, and how she stays fully present with her grandchildren while running her business as a Creator. If you feel like your best years are behind you, this episode will completely change your mindset!   **WHAT TO EXPECT:** - Why aging well after 60 is not something that just happens to you, and what it actually takes to make it possible - Her "16 Weeks to 70" challenge series & why she hiked a 14,000-foot mountain at 70 - The mindset that carried Ally through losing a child, the Marshall plane crash, and divorce, and what she wants every woman in a hard season to hear - What she tells women who feel like their purpose vanished the moment the kids left home - Her complete weekly workout routine and why doing it early is the only way it gets done - Her three eating philosophies and how she hits 100-plus grams of protein a day through everyday food - How she and Pop have kept their spark after decades of marriage and what makes their partnership so easy even now in their seventies and eighties - How she stops work the moment her grandchildren arrive, and why she believes birth to age ten is your real window with the littles   **RECIPES MENTIONED:** - Meaty Pizza Bolognese recipe - Easy Meatballs recipe - Chocolate Protein Cake recipe - Holiday Mac & Cheese recipe - Sweet Peas Mac & Cheese recipe - Jamaican Jerk Mac & Cheese recipe   **LINKS & RESOURCES:** - Ally Phillips on Instagram: @allyskitchen - Ally's Kitchen website - Ally's cookbook - "16 Weeks to 70" challenge series on Ally's website - FlavCity Protein Powder - Paleo Valley Bone Broth Protein Powder - Wild Grain subscription - Mid-Day Squares - Portrait painting canvas kit on Amazon   **WHERE TO LISTEN** If this episode encouraged you, please take a moment to rate, review, and subscribe to The SavvyCast.
