EP 108 Let Women Age with Heidi Clements
What happens when a woman stops trying to become who the world told her she should be... and starts becoming herself?
Heidi Clements is doing exactly that.
At 65, Heidi is a writer, storyteller, pro-aging advocate, fashion lover, and the wildly entertaining creator behind @welcometoheidi. Her message is bold, funny, vulnerable, and deeply liberating:
Let women age.
In this conversation, Heidi and I talk about radical self-love, body image, sobriety, fashion, beauty standards, the male gaze, shame, anger, aging, and what happens when you finally realize that you get to write your own rules.
We also talk about why so many younger women are watching Heidi, and why her message resonates across generations.
Heidi shares what she’s learned from the messy chapters of her life, why she refuses to carry shame that doesn’t belong to her, and the beautiful realization she had at 60:
“I do matter. I need to matter more to me.”
And toward the end, Heidi shares what she’s still learning at 65: to be kinder to herself, stop racing toward the next happy, and stop borrowing trouble from the future.
“It’s a daily practice to radically love yourself, which is the only thing that will save you in this life.”

Looking for a few simple ways to age well? Here are two products I use and genuinely recommend:
🚶♀️ Favorite Walking Pad – I use it almost every day while watching my favorite shows. It's quiet, easy to store, and makes getting more steps simple and enjoyable.
🥤 Favorite Protein Powder – Getting enough protein becomes even more important as we age. This is my go-to because it's easy to digest, delivers 25g of protein per serving, and supports healthy muscles and bones.
Waving from Boston – cheers!
