Dare To Age Well Now
If you’ve ever thought, “There’s got to be more than just getting older”—you’re in the right place.
DAWN: Aging Well Now is a podcast for women (and the wellness providers who support them) who are ready to take charge of their health, redefine aging, and live with strength, clarity, and connection—starting now.
Hosted by {{Your Name}}, founder of the Be Freaking Awesome movement, this series features real conversations with chiropractors, functional medicine experts, and everyday women who are rewriting the rules on what it means to age well—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Each episode explores topics like:
- Hormone health, metabolism & energy
- Red light therapy, balance & recovery
- Strength, mobility & nervous system support
- Mindset, confidence & self-image in midlife
- Gut health, supplements, and sustainable nutrition
- Community, purpose, and the joy of living fully
Because without your health, living a freaking awesome life is exponentially harder.
If you're ready to stop settling and start aging on your own terms—this podcast is your next right step.
