A proposito di questo titolo

Midlife isn’t the time to shrink - it’s a reset, a reframe, and a relaunch. It’s time to move and to grow.


Unshrinkable Midlife moves is for women 40+ who are ready to discover strength, confidence, purpose and lots more through movement.


This is a space to discover what’s still possible in midlife, despite what we've been told and believed.


Onika Griffith-Elliott dives into the stories of women who are rewriting the midlife script. You’ll hear from women who’ve ignited or reignited their spark through movement and found joy, freedom, adventure and resilience as a result. These aren’t elite athletes. They’re women who decided to move.


Expect honest conversations, unexpected breakthroughs,laughter and explore what happens when women stop waiting for the right time and take the first step.


You’ll learn how to:


- Get and keep moving, no matter where you’re starting.
- Crush the midlife myths that tell women to slow down and step back.

- Avoid the pitfalls that hold midlife women back, from fear and fatigue to guilt and self-doubt.
- Embrace movement as an act of confidence, courage, and self-discovery.


Because when you move, you don’t just change your body, you change your life and story.


It's time to age boldly and unapologetically.

  • Beginner To Unstoppable - How Home Workouts Became 6 Hybrid Races In One Year

    Beginner To Unstoppable - How Home Workouts Became 6 Hybrid Races In One Year
    Jan 14 2026

    What happens when a woman in midlife sees a post for a Hybrid Race on Instagram and thinks, "I could do that", despite never having trained that way before?

    Meet Szidy. She went from home workouts with a few dumbbells to completing six hybrid fitness races in one year. This isn’t a story about being naturally athletic, it’s about signing up before you’re ready, learning as you go, and discovering just how strong you can become.

    We talk about transitioning from home workouts to the gym, overcoming the intimidation of using unfamiliar gym equipment, nearly quitting mid-race, training on dark rainy mornings and how a knee injury became the catalyst for building unexpected strength. We also explore why doing hard things consistently is life changing.

    If you’re curious about hybrid fitness (beyond Hyrox), or are ready to stop playing small, this episode is for you.

    In this episode you’ll learn:

    • How to move from home workouts into gym and hybrid training
    • How to overcome gym intimidation
    • Mental strategies for consistent training (even when you don't feel like it)
    • Why asking for help builds confidence
    • What nearly quitting taught Szidy about resilience and what it can teach you

  • Finding Your Power In Your Sixties - From Hospital Bed To The Podium With Ruth Gledhill

    Finding Your Power In Your Sixties - From Hospital Bed To The Podium With Ruth Gledhill
    Jan 7 2026

    At 60, Ruth Gledhill was fighting for her life in intensive care, overweight and sedentary after years behind a desk. Five years later, she's standing on World Championship podiums, breaking Age Group World Records and representing Great Britain in the triathlon.

    This isn't a story about being naturally athletic or having endless time. Ruth openly shares her challenges, always coming second to her sister in her youth, career stress, and that moment in hospital when she wondered what had gone so wrong.

    But what she discovered changed everything, age group categories that finally let her compete fairly, the technology that revealed the truth about her body, and a community that proved it's never too late to start.

    In this inspiring conversation you'll learn:

    • How Ruth went from learning to walk again to Ironman 70.3 World Championships
    • Why age-group sport is a game-changer for midlife and older women
    • How wearable tech can empower, not overwhelm your health journey
    • Why winning in midlife isn’t about beating younger women, but showing up and staying in motion
    • How movement helped Ruth rebuild confidence after career stress, health trauma and self-doubt
    • How Ruth overcame paralysing fear of open water swimming
    • The irreducible minimum strategy for getting started when motivation fails
    • Why movement gave her back the one thing she'd lost

    Whether you're curious or intimidated by triathlon, or simply wondering if it's too late to start moving, Ruth's story proves the finish line doesn't care about your past or your age. It only cares that you show up.

  • Flipping The Midlife Script - Finding Yourself Through Movement As An Introverted Extrovert With Judean Lowe

    Flipping The Midlife Script - Finding Yourself Through Movement As An Introverted Extrovert With Judean Lowe
    Dec 31 2025

    What do you do when you've been so many things to so many people that you've forgotten who you actually are?

    After experiencing postnatal depression in 2007, Judean Lowe's GP suggested what would be a life changing alternative to medication that became a decade-long journey of rediscovery, injury, burnout, and adult gymnastics with her brother.

    This conversation is packed with wisdom for anyone navigating midlife, mental health, or the messy process of finding yourself. Judean opens up about why returning to gymnastics wasn't about reclaiming past ability, but was about courage, play, and discovering that midlife doesn't mean you've missed your chance.

    In this episode you'll learn:

    • How to navigate what happens when the relationship with exercise stops working
    • What it's really like to start gymnastics as an adult
    • How to navigate high-energy fitness spaces as an introvert
    • Why discipline beats motivation every single time
    • The one question to ask when you're finding yourself again in midlife

    This conversation dives into the things we don't talk about enough, the discomfort of being seen and heard, the challenge of celebrating yourself and the vulnerability of starting from scratch when you thought you had it all figured out.
