Aging Honestly: Real Talk on Ageing for Women Over 60

If you've found this podcast, you're navigating what doesn't get talked about honestly: what it actually feels like to get older when you're independent, curious, and exhausted by the noise.

The anti-ageing industry screams "fight it!" and leaves us feeling inadequate. The "age gracefully" messages tell us to embrace our wrinkles and stay positive, denying how hard this actually is.

Both are lies. And you're tired of both.


I'm Penelope Lane—Clinical Psychologist, Fitness Trainer, Mindfulness Teacher, and Brain Health Specialist. Last year, a disc bulge forced me to face something uncomfortable: being fit hadn't protected me. And it wasn't going to get me through this either.


I needed mental practices to deal with the catastrophising. Emotional tools to be kind to myself. Soul work to answer: who am I if I'm not the capable one?


That's when I realised: we've been sold a one-legged table.

When your body fails—and it will—you need all four legs: body, mind, heart, soul. That's Whole Strength.


What I have come to understand for myself: You can hate getting older AND love who you're becoming. Both are true. Both are allowed.

This podcast is for women who've had a wake-up call and want honest talk about holding both the difficulty AND the possibility.

No bandaid positivity. No anti-ageing propaganda.

Just real conversations about building strength that actually lasts.

Not staying alive. Feeling alive.

Welcome to Aging Honestly.

  • After 60: You Did Everything Right… So, Why Did You Still Get Sick?
    Mar 9 2026

    After 60, doing everything right doesn’t always prevent illness. Learn why whole strength—body, mind, heart, soul—matters more than fitness alone.

    I did everything right—I exercised, ate well, and followed all the expert advice—but my body still betrayed me. Cancers, autoimmune diseases, and chronic conditions can happen despite our best efforts.
    I’m Penelope, 67, and I help women over 60 build whole strength—body, mind, heart, and soul.
    In this video, I share my journey of facing illness and limitations, why fitness alone isn’t enough, and how mental, emotional and soul strength carry me through.
    If you’re struggling despite doing everything “right,” there’s a way forward.

  • Strong, Capable Women Need Help Sometimes | Why That Is Not a Weakness?
    Mar 5 2026

    What happens when a strong, capable woman admits she needs help?

    At 67, I teach fitness classes, rebuilt my body after serious disc injuries, and run a business. Yet recently, I needed help getting up off the floor and financial help from my daughter for a medical procedure. And I forgot to pack my undies for a mini-break with my daughter.

    Why does everyone think that if you're strong, you don't need help?"

    In this podcast, I break down the myth that independence means doing everything alone.
    Being strong doesn’t eliminate real challenges — especially with ageing, health costs, and past financial decisions.
    Asking for help isn’t a weakness.
    It’s honesty.
    It’s courage.
    It’s human.
    You can be strong and need support. Both are true.

  • Regrets After 60: Living with Choices You Can’t Undo
    Feb 26 2026

    Facing regrets after 60? I share my journey of mistakes, lost opportunities, and how I’m learning to carry regret without letting it define me.

    I’ve spent decades living with choices I can’t undo—eating disorders, financial mistakes, lost relationships, and missed opportunities. At 67, regret feels heavier and more permanent, but it doesn’t have to stop me from living fully.
    In this video, I share my honest reflections on carrying regret after 60, separating it from self-punishment, grieving what’s lost, and finding meaning in the years I still have.
    I talk about what’s possible now, how I’m rebuilding my life, and how I choose who I become from here.
    Regret is real—but we can make better choices ongoing with all that we've experienced.
