At 68, I Feel Younger Than Ever

Yesterday, I turned 68.

And somehow, that number feels less like a milestone behind me and more like a doorway opening ahead.

There was a time when I imagined aging would mean slowing down, becoming quieter, smaller, less visible. But standing here now, on the other side of this birthday, I can say with certainty that I’ve never felt more alive, more grounded, or more at home in myself than I do right now.

In so many ways, I feel younger than ever.

Not because I’m chasing youth or trying to rewind the clock, but because I’ve finally released the need to be anything other than who I am.

Age Is Not a Limitation It Is an Expansion

At 68, clarity replaces confusion. I know what matters. I know what doesn’t. I trust my instincts without questioning them. I choose peace over pressure, presence over performance.

That brings a lightness that feels youthful.

When you stop carrying expectations that were never yours to begin with, your energy returns. You laugh more. You move differently. You feel curious again. Open. Playful.

That’s the kind of young I feel now.


The Confidence That Comes With Living

Real confidence doesn’t come from perfection, it comes from experience.

From loving deeply. From losing. From rebuilding. From choosing yourself again and again. At 68, I no longer explain myself or apologize for taking up space. I honour my body for everything it has carried me through. I honour my story, including every imperfect chapter.

There is something deeply freeing about no longer resisting age.

I don’t feel invisible. I feel powerful.


Beauty That Runs Deeper

The beauty I feel now has nothing to do with turning back time.

It lives in the way I care for myself, with respect, ritual, and intention. It’s in the friendships that nourish me, the work that lights me up, the moments I allow myself to fully feel.

Feeling young isn’t about looking young.

It’s about staying connected to joy.


Still Becoming

Yesterday wasn’t a full stop, it was a continuation.

I still dream. I still create. I still explore. I still feel excitement for what’s ahead. Life hasn’t narrowed, it has expanded.

And that sense of possibility is youth.


A New Story About Aging

I want to help rewrite the story of what aging looks like, one that honours vitality, wisdom, sensuality, creativity, and joy at every stage of life.

Turning 68 isn’t something to hide from. It’s something to celebrate.

Because this version of me, grounded, open, confident, and free, feels like the youngest one yet.

Here’s to growing older without growing smaller.

Here’s to becoming more ourselves with every year.

9 Years ago, everything changed

There are a few tools I’ve come across in my lifetime that have truly made a difference, not just to how I look, but how I feel in my body. The Ashley Black Fascia Blasters are one of them.

I started using them years ago, when I noticed that my body wasn’t bouncing back the way it used to. My skin was changing, my muscles felt tighter, and even though I was eating well and staying active, I could feel this stiffness, like my body was holding on to tension it couldn’t quite let go of.

That’s when I discovered fascia and everything changed.

Why I Fell in Love with the Fascia Blasters

The first time I used an Ashley Black Fascia Blaster, I didn’t fully understand what it would do for me. But after just a few sessions, I could feel the difference. My skin felt more supple, my circulation improved, and my muscles loosened up in a way I hadn’t experienced before.

Over time, I noticed that:

  • My skin became smoother, especially in areas like the thighs and arms.
  • My muscle tone appeared more defined, even without changing my workout routine.
  • I felt a deep release of stored tension, especially around the hips and shoulders.
  • My confidence returned, not because I was chasing perfection, but because I finally felt comfortable and alive in my skin again.

In my 60s, I’ve realised that feeling confident in your body isn’t about age, it’s about energy. It’s about how connected you feel to yourself. And this little tool has helped me reconnect in such a powerful way.

So, What Is Fascia, and Why Does It Matter?

Fascia is a thin layer of connective tissue that wraps around every muscle, bone, and organ in our bodies. You can think of it like a web that holds everything in place. When it’s healthy, fascia is smooth and flexible, allowing your body to move easily.

But over time, through stress, injury, poor posture, or even just daily life, fascia can become tight, sticky, and restricted. This can cause stiffness, cellulite, pain, and a general feeling of “heaviness” in the body.

Fascia Blasting helps release and smooth those restricted areas. By gently massaging the skin and underlying tissue with the tool, you stimulate blood flow, loosen adhesions, and support lymphatic drainage. The result is smoother skin, better mobility, and a feeling of lightness and freedom in your body.

The Science Behind the Fascia Blaster

The Fascia Blaster was created by Ashley Black, a health entrepreneur and body specialist who spent years studying how fascia affects our movement and appearance. Her tools are designed to target and “unclump” fascia, restoring the tissue to its natural, healthy state.

When fascia is healthy, your muscles can function better, circulation improves, and your skin can appear tighter and smoother. Many women also report less soreness, fewer aches, and even improved flexibility.

It’s not a quick fix, it’s a practice. Like yoga, like meditation, like anything truly transformational, consistency brings results.

How I Use It

For me, it’s a ritual,  not a chore. I apply oil to my skin, and use the Fascia Blaster in gentle, rhythmic strokes. It’s almost meditative, a few minutes of connection with my body, of gratitude for all it’s carried me through.

I usually focus on my thighs, arms, and abdomen, and I notice not just physical results, but a deep sense of release, emotionally and physically.

Some women say they use it for beauty. For me, it’s about freedom.
