Ageing Honestly: Real Talk on Ageing for Women Over 60


Women over 60 often hear two messages: either fight ageing and try to look younger, or just smile, be grateful, and remain positive. Neither is true, and you’re probably tired of hearing both.


My name is Penelope Lane. I’m a clinical psychologist with 38 years of experience, as well as a fitness trainer and mindfulness teacher.

After going through my own personal challenges, I learned that we can approach ageing differently.


To face what’s real, feel our emotions, and rebuild from there.

I call this approach Whole Strength.

It’s based on four steps I use every day: Notice It, Open To It, Rebuild, and Live It Daily.


It’s okay to dislike getting older and still love the person you’re becoming. Both feelings are real, at the same time, and that's okay.


This podcast is for women who want honest conversations about ageing.

There’s no forced positivity or anti-ageing hype here.

Just honest talk about what’s true and what really helps.


Welcome to Ageing Honestly.

  • Women After 60: Tired of Fighting Ageing? Why Resistance Keeps You Stuck -And What Works Instead
    Sep 28 2026

    Holistic, independent women: resistance to what’s happening creates chronic stress that accelerates aging. Buddhist teachings that help you accept ageing without giving up after 60 change everything.

    The shocking truth: The harder you fight against getting older, the faster you age.
    Your resistance is literally accelerating your decline.

    The Two Arrows (Practical Buddhist Teaching):
    First Arrow: Ageing itself—your body changing, things getting harder. This hurts. It's real.
    Second Arrow: YOUR resistance to ageing. "This shouldn't be happening." "I hate this." "Why me?" This is the suffering you ADD on top of ageing.

    Here's the insight that changes everything: You can't control the first arrow. But the second arrow? That's entirely in your hands.

    What Your Resistance Actually Does:
    - Creates chronic stress that shrinks your hippocampus (brain's memory centre), accelerates cellular ageing, increases inflammation, disrupts sleep.
    - Makes you rigid when you need to be flexible and resilient
    - Exhausts you—stealing energy you could use to build strength.

    The Paradox:
    When you STOP fighting reality, you have MORE power to work with it.
    Acceptance frees you to find creative solutions, adapt, and build real strength.
    Acceptance isn't giving up. It's seeing what's true without adding suffering on top: "My body is changing. This is hard. I hate it sometimes. And that's what's happening."

    In the video, I share a practical strategy to help you navigate the truth: You can hate getting older AND accept it's happening AND love who you're becoming.

    Stop shooting yourself with that second arrow. Your resistance is ageing you faster. Acceptance is what slows decline.

    Share what's actually true for you. I'd love to hear it, and I'll write back 🌷

  • I'm Fine or Am I?
    Sep 26 2026

    "I'm fine, thanks." I've said it a thousand times without really meaning it, and I bet you have too.

    In this episode, I talk about that habit: the automatic " I’m fine" that slips out before you even think.

    I’ll explore why we do it, what it costs us, and how it can leave you feeling unheard even when you're with others.

    I’ll also share what happens, even physically, when you finally say what’s really true to someone who truly listens.

    I'm Penelope, a clinical psychologist and fitness trainer helping women over 60 age in ways that work with their bodies and minds, not against them.

  • Why That Coffee Mattered More Than I Realised
    Sep 11 2026

    An ordinary coffee after fitness class turned into something I'm still thinking about weeks later. Losses big and small shared out loud, a closed bakery, a bad knee, a friend who's gone.

    In this episode, I share what that coffee taught me about connection as we age, the research linking isolation to a significantly higher risk of dementia, and a simple practice called No Agenda you can try this week with just one person, no plan required.
