Ep 52: Passion, Purpose & Pushing the Limits at Any Age with Author/Athlete Gwendolyn Bounds

Today, we have an extra special, power-packed episode for you: Never Too Late meets Not Too Late! Yes, that's right!

I am very excited to introduce Gwendolyn Bounds or “Wendy” as she likes to be called… 

Wendy, a journalist by trade, and author of the book Not Too Late: The Power of Pushing Limits at Any Age. Boy! She sure embodies that philosophy!

 Wendy shares her transformation from a skinny, scrawny kid to becoming a competitive athlete, which all began with a dinner party and a Google search!

We jump right in talking about:

• Finding and creating time
• The power of consistency and taking small steps
• Staying true to your essentials… 

We discuss the what, the why, and the importance of mastery, passion, and goal setting in mid-life and beyond. 

Then Wendy gets super personal about the process, including all the messy life events and still, somehow, hanging on to your hopes and dreams...

Plus, there are tons of tips and strategies for starting something new, sustaining motivation, and staying stronger for longer!

Including:

• Pushing your limits
• Intrinsic motivation
• Developing a growth mindset
• And, how having the ‘will to live’ is important at any age!

Of course, Wendy wraps our conversation up with some wise sage advice.

Hanging out with Wendy was such an honor, insightful and so inspirational! I learned so much! And I am even more committed to life-long health and fitness.
