I’ve been in my 50s for a little over a year now, and I’ll admit: heading into this decade, I was a little nervous about how my body would respond. Would I recover more slowly? Would the things I love—running, skiing, mountain biking, lifting, pushing myself physically—start becoming harder?

Would I begin noticing limitations I hadn’t thought much about before? What I’ve found so far is a little different.

Years ago, I read Brené Brown’s Daring Greatly, and it changed the way I thought about courage.

The book begins with Theodore Roosevelt’s famous description of “the man in the arena”—the person who is willing to step forward, risk failure, and be seen trying. Roosevelt reminds us that the credit does not belong to the spectator offering criticism from a safe distance. It belongs to the person whose face is marked by dust and sweat, who falls short, gets back up, and continues to participate fully in life.

At Experience Momentum, we believe health is bigger than a single appointment, workout, treatment plan, or nutrition goal. Health is shaped by the environments we live in, the communities we belong to, the air we breathe, the food systems we rely on, the places we move through, and the businesses we choose to support. That is why the intersection of climate and healthcare matters so deeply to me.

Instead, he popped right out of bed.
