Hi, I’m Gina! I’m 61, happily married for 20 years and the mom of two grown sons. This stage of life looks a little different now that my boys are grown, but I’m learning there is still so much life ahead to enjoy—and plenty of room to grow.
I started The Encouraged Life to share what has helped me feel strong, healthy and confident in my 60s. For me, that includes strength training, staying active, eating well, prioritizing sleep and recovery, and giving up alcohol. I’m not interested in chasing perfection or pretending that aging doesn’t happen. I simply want to feel good, stay capable and enjoy my life.
Here you’ll find realistic fitness and wellness ideas, personal stories and encouragement for navigating motherhood, marriage, aging and whatever this next chapter brings. I share what is working for me, along with the things I’m still figuring out.
If you’re creating a new chapter of your own, I’m glad you’re here. You’re never too old to try something new, take better care of yourself or feel comfortable in your own skin.
Welcome to The Encouraged Life.
