IN THIS EPISODE:

Why neither Tosca nor Ella buys into the "anti-aging" narrative
Overcoming an abusive childhood and marriage
From overweight to competing in bodybuilding at age 42
How Tosca's midlife 'Cinderella' experience came crashing down - hard.
Losing her husband and her life's work
The painful process of opening up and healing
Tosca's healing journey including plant medicine (psilocybin)
The 3 E's of wellness: eating, exercise and emotions
Creating a new energy around the women and aging conversation
Detaching our sense of worth from our physicality - while still investing in both

When you're a beautiful woman, and you're on magazine covers, and you're celebrated for the way that you look, what's it like as you move farther away from that point in time?

I intend to be fully integrated into the story, into the history, into the future of what's coming. And for that to happen, I have to be disengaged from this aesthetic. - Tosca Reno
