Friends, I just had one of those interviews that rearranges your inner furniture.
When Dr. Judy Scher, neuroscience-savvy chiropractor, embodiment mentor, and all-round wisdom-weaver, joined me on Dare to Age Well Now, I expected tips on posture and maybe a breathing exercise or two. Instead, we plunged into sacred territory: grief that lives in muscle tissue, the “rings” our spines record like old-growth trees, and why the decades after 50 aren’t winter at all—they’re our second spring.
Below is a taste of what we explored. If any of it sparks a full-body yes, hit play and let the conversation move through you.
What you’ll hear in this episode
Sacred Brokenness & The Body’s Archive
Dr. Judy explains how unprocessed stress doesn’t disappear—it takes up residence in fascia, breath patterns, and spinal curves until we’re willing to feel it.Integration vs. Information
Therapy gave me language for my grief, but Judy showed how true healing happens when head-knowledge finally drops into the soma.Curiosity as a Spiritual Practice
We swap “seeking” for “exploring,” staying open to what the body reveals in real time.The Second-Spring Mindset
Victor Hugo called our 50s “the youth of old age.” Judy reframes that as composted wisdom ready to fertilize brand-new growth.
Why this matters
So many midlife wellness messages shout, fight aging! I’m done fighting. I want to integrate, to gather every triumph, scar, and stretch mark into something coherent and wildly alive. This episode is an invitation to do the same.
