Welcome back to Crazy Good Aging, where we celebrate bold women rewriting the script on what it means to age.

In this episode, meet:

The Octopussies – two dynamic sisters, aged 85 and 87, who are still racing in the Buffalo Bayou Regatta after a lifetime of sailing and paddling. Their wit, sisterly banter, and competitive spirit prove age is no barrier to adventure.

Mary Holmes, a lifelong hiker who attempted to summit Mount Kilimanjaro at 80. Though altitude sickness cut her journey short, Mary’s story is a powerful lesson in resilience, reframing failure, and daring greatly at any age.

Whether it’s navigating rivers or mountain ranges, these women remind us:
It’s never too late to surprise yourself.

Subscribe and follow for more real-life inspiration from extraordinary women who prove that growing older means growing bolder.
