Описание: What if aging isn’t decline — but refinement?

In this episode of Girl, Take the Lead!, Yolanda Canny talks with C. Vicki Gold, a physical therapist with 50+ years of experience and author of Aging Safely, Wisely, and Well.

At 80 years old, Vicki shares how posture, breathing, awareness, and mindset influence balance, confidence, and how we move through life — at any age.
