Meditations & Practices

Reclaiming how you feel about your body requires more than new ideas—it requires your whole brain, your whole body, and your whole self.

The practices you’ll find here were created to support and deepen the experience of reading Unapologetic Aging. They are invitations to slow down, feel into your inner landscape, and reconnect with the wisdom that has lived in your body far longer than any ageist or diet-culture message.

Lasting change doesn’t come from willpower, self-criticism, or intellectual insight alone. Neuroscience and ancient wisdom teach us that transformation happens when we engage both the thinking brain and the somatic brain—the prefrontal cortex and the nervous system patterns held beneath it. These guided meditations help you access the calmer, more receptive states where shame softens, self-compassion grows, and new narratives can truly take root.

Here, you’ll find practices to help you:
• Meet your aging body with more tenderness and curiosity
• Soothe the nervous system patterns shaped by years of body judgment
• Release internalized ageism and perfectionism
• Cultivate presence, embodiment, and body trust
• Create the conditions for meaningful, sustainable change

These meditations are meant to accompany you—not as rules to follow, but as pathways back home to yourself.
Your body is not a problem to solve. It’s a place to return to, listen to, and honor.
And when you include your whole brain and whole body in this process, you create the spaciousness needed to heal, nourish, and age unapologetically.
