Keep It Moving

This audio-friendly summary explores a hopeful, grounded way of thinking about aging—one that doesn’t deny the realities of physical change, but also refuses to treat those changes as the end of vitality or meaning. Drawing on Twyla Tharp’s perspective as a dancer and creator, it invites listeners to see later years as a time for reinvention, wiser effort, and deeper presence.

Across the chapters, you’ll hear supportive reflections and practical suggestions: loosening the grip of rigid identity, taking small steps to keep moving, building optimism as a daily habit, and learning to start over when life forces a detour. The heart of the message is simple and steady: there is always another way forward, and it can still feel like living—fully.

• Anyone feeling uneasy about aging, change, or the sense that time is “closing in,” and who wants a calmer, more empowering frame of mind
• Listeners rebuilding momentum after a setback—health challenges, career shifts, loss, or a season of low energy—and looking for a second wind
• People who want practical, kind encouragement around movement, motivation, resilience, and personal growth without harsh “hustle” messaging
