Happy Mindful Monday Everyone! In this week's epsiode, our host Allie Brooke sits down with C. Vicki Gold, PT, MA. Vicki Gold is a retired physical therapist who is proud to say she turned 80 in September of ’24. Her background was rich in both clinical and academic experiences, including serving as Director of a Physical Therapist Assistant Program in NYC. She also has had extensive experience in a large variety of mind-body approaches to physical and mental well-being, including yoga, tai chi, Pilates, Alexander, and Feldenkrais Techniques. Vicki is a perpetual student of personal growth and transformation, and is a graduate of many trainings through Landmark Worldwide. Vicki and her husband, Tom, relocated from Long Island, NY, to the Foothills of NC, where Vicki completed a book meant to educate, empower, and inspire people to “Age Safely, Wisely, and Well,” which just happens to be the book’s title! The title goes on to say that it is “A Movement and Mindset Guide for Older Adults,” however is relevant to adults of all ages. The book comprises many of the tips, tricks, strategies, and skills Vicki gathered over her many years as a therapist and as a woman. It also has several collaborators from specialties like fall-prevention, aging in place, nutrition, etc. Vicki’s mission now is to encourage listeners to learn their ABCs to look, feel, and function optimally – at every age! In this epsiode we talk about: The "ABCs" of Optimal Function: Vicki breaks down her signature framework for looking, feeling, and functioning at your best,proving that vitality isn't a matter of age, but a matter of alignment.The Evolution of a Healer: From clinical Physical Therapy in NYC to mind-body mastery (Yoga, Tai Chi, and Pilates); a look at how integrating various modalities creates a holistic path to wellness.Movement + Mindset: The Duo for Longevity: Why a book about aging well required more than just physical exercises, and how our internal dialogue dictates our external physical capabilities.Reimagining 80: Breaking the "Fade Out" Mold: Vicki shares the reality of entering her ninth decade with more purpose and energy than ever, challenging the societal expectations of what "getting older" looks like.The Power of One Word: A deep dive into the specific vocabulary that can instantly shift an adult’s motivation, helping them move from a "default" life to one of intentional design.Becoming a Perpetual Student: How Vicki’s journey through personal transformation trainings (like Landmark) allowed her to pivot in her 70s and write her book in the foothills of North Carolina.Building Your Aging Village: The importance of collaboration—from nutrition to fall prevention—in creating a sustainable, safe, and joyful legacy.
