Menopause Nutritionist Podcast

Surfing is not just a sport - it can be the permission slip women have been waiting for to choose joy, build confidence, and stop putting themselves last. Angie from Sisterhood of Surf shares how women in their 50s, 60s, and beyond are getting in the water for the first time and discovering it is never too late to start.

What begins as a beginner surf session quickly opens into a bigger conversation about age, identity, and the power of having something that is just for you. Chanel and Angie unpack why so many women think they are too old, too unfit, or not “good enough” to try something new, and why those beliefs disappear once you are in the right environment with the right cheerleaders.

You'll discover:

Why Sisterhood of Surf was created after Angie saw a gap in the market for women who wanted surfing, travel, and community without pressure or ego

How one-day surf events can fast-track confidence for complete beginners

Why “play” matters more than we think, and how surfing becomes a form of therapy, not just exercise

The mindset shift that helps women stop fearing aging and start seeing it as a privilege

Why progress does not have to mean becoming an advanced surfer - sometimes whitewash, laughter, and connection are enough

Angie also shares the ripple effect she sees every day: women arriving as strangers, leaving as friends, and coming back year after year because the experience changes how they feel about themselves. Chanel adds her own perspective on learning later in life, the value of taking lessons, and why committing to yourself is often the first real step.

If you have been waiting for the “right time” to do something for yourself, this is your sign. Perfect for women who want more confidence, more joy, and a reminder that aging does not have to shrink your life - it can expand it.

Angie is the founder of Sisterhood of Surf, a women’s surf and travel community, and also owns The Active Sisters, a female fitness studio in Redcliffe. She is a women’s health coach with years of experience helping women reconnect with movement, confidence, and themselves.

When we have body composition goals, sometimes they can drag on endlessly. That is not good for the outcome, or for our mindset. Having firm goals helps us achieve and stay focussed. Sometimes we need to mix things up, having goals that are non-scale victories.
