  • The Holidays Feel Hard for a Lot of People — Let’s Talk About It

    The Holidays Feel Hard for a Lot of People — Let’s Talk About It
    Dec 23 2025

    The holidays don’t always feel joyful—and that’s okay.

    This episode is a quiet, honest conversation for anyone who feels a little “off” this season. Whether you’re an older adult navigating change, loss, or lower energy… or an adult child trying to support aging parents while holding everything together.

    This year felt different for me, and it led me to reflect on how much pressure we put on ourselves during the holidays—to decorate, to host, to smile, to pretend everything is fine.

    In this episode, we talk about:

    • Why the holidays can feel heavy in quiet ways
    • The unspoken pressure to “do it all” and feel festive
    • How loss, change, and aging affect the season
    • Redefining what “holiday spirit” can look like
    • Finding small moments of warmth without forcing joy

    If this season feels quieter, heavier, or just different—you’re not alone. And you’re not doing anything wrong.

  • Aging Doesn’t Have to Mean Weakness: Why Strength After 55 Changes Everything

    Aging Doesn’t Have to Mean Weakness: Why Strength After 55 Changes Everything
    Dec 18 2025

    What if getting older didn’t automatically mean getting weaker?

    In this first episode of Stronger After 55, physical therapist Drew Crews challenges one of the most common—and damaging—beliefs about aging: that weakness, pain, and loss of independence are inevitable.

    You’ll learn why so many adults over 55 feel fragile, slow, or fearful of movement—and why that narrative is often wrong. Drew explains how strength training, confidence-building movement, and a shift in mindset can help older adults stay independent, capable, and engaged in the activities they love.

    This episode sets the foundation for everything to come on the podcast: a fitness-forward, strength-first approach to aging that focuses on what your body can do, not what it can’t.

    In this episode, we cover:
    • Why aging has been wrongly associated with weakness
    • How fear of injury and falling quietly steals independence
    • The difference between “exercise” and training for real life
    • Why it’s never too late to build strength and confidence
    • What a stronger future after 55 can actually look like

    Whether you’re an older adult, a caregiver, or an adult child who wants better options for your parents, this episode will reframe how you think about aging—and what’s possible.
