Today we’re honoured to be joined by Mina Pontello — someone whose journey reminds us it’s never too late to dive in. At 62, Mina learned how to swim. Yes, you read that correct. And … she learnt how to ride a bike at 63!

Not only that, Mina has made the ocean her daily ritual, riding waves, confronting fears and living fully alongside a group of women known as The Buckettes.
