We were inspired by a recent fashion show, where models of all ages and abilities confidently walked the runway in fashionable adult diapers all to challenge the stigma surrounding incontinence.

Whether temporary or long-term, incontinence affects people of many ages, and it shouldn’t be a source of shame. This show is a bold reminder that dignity, confidence, and style are for everyone regardless of age, ability, or diagnosis.

You can live well, be confident, and feel good in your own skin, and sometimes, that starts by normalizing what others are afraid to talk about.

Have you heard about Grandma Gatewood? Emma "Grandma" Gatewood left her house in 1955, at the age of 67 to hike the Appalachian trail.

Emma took minimal supplies which she carried in a denim bag over her shoulder. She didn't take a sleeping bag or tent but instead slept on piles of leaves and kept dry under a shower curtain.

Hiking the 2,000 plus mile trail, she became the first thru-hiker (male or female) to complete the trail. She later went on to complete a second hike on the A.T. trail and 2,000 miles of the Oregon Trail.

If you’re looking for an inspiring true story filled with adventure, determination, and a little bit of defying the odds, we recommend “The Ride of Her Life: The True Story of a Woman, Her Horse, and Their Last-Chance Journey Across America” by Elizabeth Letts.

This remarkable book tells the story of Annie Wilkins, a woman in her 60s who, after being told she had only a few years to live, refused to accept that her journey was over. Instead, she saddled up her horse and rode across America—with no map, little money, and only her loyal dog for company.

It’s a story about courage, resilience, and the power of chasing your dreams—no matter your age. If you love heartwarming, against-all-odds tales, this one is a must-read!
