Even as young girls, we\u2019re taught to "be careful" while boys are taught to "be strong and brave." It's maddening.  Author Caroline Paul, a longtime adventurer, started to notice the massive decline in the number of women she would see when she would go out paddle boarding, skateboarding, or surfing. In her late 50\u2019s she was asking the questions like,  \u201cWhy is this happening?\u201d and, "Shouldn\u2019t we be experiencing adventure at ANY age?\u201d That\u2019s what her new book, Tough Broad seeks to answer with the women Caroline interviews in her book. I\u2019m talking hikers, wing walkers, birdwatchers, BMX racers, boogie boarders, swimmers, and more. These women aren't experts. But their experiences and the scientific studies that back them up offer important insight into our own physical and emotional health as we age, showing that growing older is no reason for women to sell themselves short. One thing that is clear: Adventure doesn\u2019t have to be some adrenaline filled, death-defying act, although there is some of that in this book. No, true adventure and self fulfillment can start with a walk outside. The more time you spend outdoors and the more positive your view on aging, the happier you will be.  That can indeed make you a tough broad.   Buy Tough Broad - From Boogie Boarding to Wing Walking - How Outdoor Adventure Improves Our Lives as We Age Support the Podcast through Venmo https:\/\/www.venmo.com\/u\/CarrieSappBarrett or  BuyMeACoffee.com - https:\/\/www.buymeacoffee.com\/CarrieBarrett  "I Could Never Do That" Website - https:\/\/www.podpage.com\/icouldneverdothat\/  "I Could Never Do That" Instagram - @icouldneverdothat Theme Music: Your Love by Atch -License: Creative Commons License - Attribution 3.0 Unported (CC BY 3.0)         ","author_name":"I Could Never Do That","author_url":"https:\/\/www.podpage.com\/i-could-never-do-that\/","html":"
