Movement, Mindset, and the Art of Aging Well | C. Vicki Gold


Episode 247


Welcome to the Say YES to Yourself! Podcast—the show for midlife women, empty nesters, and anyone navigating life after divorce, burnout, or big transitions. If you're ready to shed cultural expectations, reconnect with your true self, and put your joy first—you’re in the right place.

In this episode, Wendy talks with C. Vicki Gold, author of Aging Safely, Wisely, and Well: A Movement and Mindset Guide for Older Adults. Drawing from decades of experience as a physical therapist, Vicki shares two simple frameworks—her ABCs for movement and mindset—that help women build strength, stability, and self-awareness as they age. With humor and heart, she reminds us that caring for our bodies and our outlook are inseparable parts of living well at every stage of life.

They explore:

  • Vicki’s ABC approach to movement and how small, intentional actions support lifelong mobility
  • The mindset ABCs that encourage self-responsibility, adaptability, and gratitude
  • Why it’s never too early—or too late—to create habits that keep you strong, balanced, and well

This conversation is a reminder that aging well isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing what matters with care, presence, and intention.
