My AGE-DEFYING Interview
How One Woman Nearing 70 Is Rewriting the Rules of Youth — Without Surgery, Botox, or Even Coffee.
At almost seventy, she has the kind of glow that that shouts out confidence and youth — not the airbrushed, injected, painstakingly sculpted glow of modern anti-ageing culture, but something softer, clearer, almost luminous. And when she sits down to explain her routine, the first surprise is just how little of it comes from a bottle.
“I don’t battle my age,” she says with a quiet, confident smile. “I collaborate with it.”
There’s no Botox in her forehead. No fillers in her cheeks. No caffeine, no crash diets, no punishing hours on gym equipment. The only thing extreme, she jokes, is her commitment to living life on her own terms.
A quarter-century of chosen solitude.
One of the most striking parts of her story is her unapologetic celibacy — 25 years and counting.
“I’ve been happily celibate for a quarter of a century,” she says. “Not because I’m religious or bitter or a man hater — far from it. I’m simply very selective about who I share my body and my energy with. At this stage in my life, intimacy has to be sacred, or not at all.”
It’s a statement delivered not with defensiveness but with unmistakable clarity — the kind that can only come from knowing oneself deeply.
A lifestyle built on intention rather than restriction
Her diet is gentle and deeply nourishing:
fully vegan,
no caffeine,
no alcohol — save for one occasional glass of truly excellent red wine (“If it isn’t remarkable, it isn’t worth drinking”).
Exercise is intuitive rather than exhausting. Movement is chosen, not forced. Skincare is simple. Stress is minimal. And her home environment is designed to feel like calm you can breathe.
“I don’t believe in punishing the body to keep it young,” she says. “I believe in partnering with it.”
‘My mind is my superpower’
While others chase anti-ageing through serums and surgical tweaks, she insists her real secret lies elsewhere — within her own thoughts.
“I genuinely believe my mind is my superpower,” she says. “The universe is made of energy, and so are we. When our thoughts align with the right frequency, we attract what supports us — health, clarity, vitality, and yes, even youthfulness.”
This isn’t airy mysticism; it is a philosophy she lives with discipline and intention. Every choice — what she eats, what she consumes mentally, who she allows near her — is filtered through the lens of energy.
“People underestimate how ageing accelerates when we live out of alignment,” she adds. “Peace is the greatest cosmetic in the world.”
Rewriting the narrative of ageing
Her approach is refreshing in a world obsessed with being “ageless.” She’s not trying to look 30. She’s trying to feel entirely, vibrantly herself.
What she offers isn’t a rigid protocol or a promise of eternal youth — it’s permission. Permission to age without fear, without pressure, without bending to a culture that demands women stay forever 29.
“I am almost seventy,” she says. “And I have never felt more clear, more grounded, or more in tune with my body. Youth isn’t something you chase — it’s something you cultivate.”
As she prepares for the next decade of her life, she laughs at the idea of slowing down.
“I’m only just beginning,” she says. “Ageing isn’t the enemy. Disconnection is. Once you align your energy with who you really are, everything — including time — begins to soften.”
And as she speaks, you realise: she isn’t defying age. She’s redefining it.
