MY MISSION:
My name is Carla Allen and I am the founder of Your Age Is Not Your Cage.
I am a Certified Health, Nutrition, & Fitness Coach, Speaker, & Podcaster.
But more importantly, I’m a woman who’s passionate about changing the outdated expectations around aging.
I’m 61, and I feel better now than I ever have. I work with women who want to feel stronger, more energized, and confident in their own skin—women who are done with quick fixes and ready for lasting, sustainable lifestyle changes.
I truly believe aging can be a season of strength, confidence, and possibility. Because aging isn’t something to fear—it’s something we get to do powerfully.
I’m here to remind women that your age is not your cage. It’s your Superpower!
Strong to the Finish...Wellness for your Body, Mind, & Spirit.
Carla Allen is a Certified Integrative Health Coach specializing in Mid-Life Women's Coaching and a Podcaster. She is 61 years young and is on fire for life and helping others realize that age is just a number! She has been passionate about the health and nutrition and fitness world for most of her adult life. Carla is on a mission to help change the mindsets of women that their age is not their cage. Her positive attitude about aging is contagious as she often says, “it’s never too late and you’re never too old!” Age is just a number. She loves to encourage others that you can still achieve your optimal health, start that exercise program, try out a new hobby, or create that business you’ve been dreaming about! Carla began her health coaching business and debuted her podcast “Your Age Is Not Your Cage™” in her 50’s, so she’s proof that you can do anything at any age! We can be the ones to change the narrative around aging!!
Carla has been married to her hubby, Sonny for 25 years and has two amazing adult children and a sweet daughter-in-law, along with her two sweet puppy dogs, Waylon & Boone. Carla loves Jesus, hanging out with her family, is passionate about all things to do with health, nutrition, wellness, & exercise, she loves walking, enjoys lifting weights at the gym, and she is happiest doing anything that is outdoors! She is an empty-nester that believes these years can truly be the best years of your life and she wants you to believe it for yourself too! Her motto: If you’re still here, you’re not done living! Remember… Your age is not your cage so it’s time to start living like it!
Carla is also a recent kidney donor on June 7, 2023. She donated her kidney to one of her lifelong besties. Just another example of not allowing any situation or age to hold you back!! You and your positive mindset can do anything as long as you just believe in yourself.
