Empowering women in the second half of life for a brighter future.
"Thanks, Nancy, for hosting the workshop "Upgrade Your Comfort List"! I really enjoyed it and am incorporating my list of favorite comfort activities into my life. I'm keeping it handy for those low moments to remind myself I have the resources of healthy choices to uplift myself. I picked up some new ideas on how to use herbs. Thanks for the information and your mission of promoting self-care!" - Betsy, Upgrade Your Comfort List Workshop Participant
The Living Boldly Project (LBP) educates women and healthcare providers on the effects of ageism and the science of healthy longevity. The effects of ageism, coupled with so many myths about aging, have women, and the greater community, feeling like midlife and getting older is a medical condition and a series of unfortunate events. Science affirms that healthy longevity is attainable. LBP empowers women physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually to learn skills that will bring quality to the second half of life. Led by Nancy Candea, author, yoga therapist, and founder of the non-profit Yoga Impact, the LBP includes an online educational platform with a resource library, women’s stories, and a podcast with expert interviews. We offer trainings, events, fundraisers, and speaking engagements to create awareness on how to live a mentally and physically healthy second half of life!

“We get to design the second half of life consciously. It will be our unique path, based on what is most important to us. We will determine what gifts we contribute to our family and community, and get rid of the things that don't help us on our path to fulfillment, expression, and wholeness.”
