Movement
Grip strength is one of the strongest predictors of mortality — sometimes more telling than blood pressure or cholesterol. Peta shares why she's ditched the jar-opening gadgets, how muscle loss creeps in after 30, and simple everyday ways to build the grip strength that supports real independence.
Calling a squat "boring" might actually mean something else entirely. Peta digs into why foundational movements feel harder to stay present with after menopause — and why these unglamorous exercises are some of the most powerful tools for strength, independence, and cognitive health in the decades ahead.
Struggling with stairs? Out of breath sooner than you used to be? In this episode, we unpack the everyday signs that strength and cardio fitness need attention — and more importantly, how to establish your own baseline so you can track real progress instead of guessing. Practical, no-nonsense, and empowering.

What if exercise stopped feeling like a chore and started feeling like your body singing? In this episode, we meet Sue — a woman in her 60s who began exercising consistently in her 50s, trained for and completed her first marathon, and now moves daily because of what it gives her: grandchildren she can keep up with, a world she can travel freely, and a body that feels gloriously alive.
In my mid-60s, my grandchildren came to live with us — and I ended up running, jumping, and climbing at the park like I was young again. What keeping up with a 7 and 8-year-old taught me about what we're actually still capable of.
