Why Women Feel Guilty for Choosing Themselves (And How to Stop)

In this episode of Over 50 and Flourishing, I sit down with Gabby Reece for a powerful conversation about identity, resilience, and what it really means to live strong. Gabby Reece is a former professional beach volleyball player, Nike’s first female signature athlete, and a wellness entrepreneur who has spent decades helping women redefine strength beyond performance. From a childhood marked by instability to building a life rooted in discipline, purpose, and authenticity, Gabby brings both lived experience and hard-earned wisdom to the conversation. We talk about letting go of guilt and learning to prioritize your own wellbeing, the identity shifts that come with motherhood, and how to maintain a sense of self while raising children. We also explore setting boundaries with family, redefining strength through femininity and emotional awareness, navigating long-term relationships with honesty and respect, and why taking care of yourself first is essential, not selfish.
