HerStory: Meet Linda
Linda is 58. Joint pain and high blood pressure have made movement harder—but she is ready to believe change is possible.

- The starting point
This is not “just getting older.”
Pain makes movement harder. Moving less can make chronic health challenges more difficult to manage. Operation Change helps women interrupt that cycle through movement, education, motivation, and community.
"Is this just part of getting older?"
What Linda is experiencing is common—but it is not inevitable. One small step can change everything.

Town Hall
Linda almost didn’t come. She wasn’t sure the program was meant for someone like her. But as she listened to women share stories that sounded just like her own, something changed. For the first time in a long time, she felt hopeful. Maybe she wasn’t alone. Maybe this really could be her first step.

Week 1 | Assessment & Orientation
Linda was nervous about her assessment. Instead of judgment, she found support. Her Motivational Interviewer helped her understand where she was today so they could build a plan for where she wanted to go. For the first time, Linda focused on what she could do.

Weeks 2–10 | Building Strength & Healthy Habits
Every week brought another victory. Linda parked farther away, climbed the church steps without stopping, and played outside with her granddaughter longer. Movement stopped feeling like something she had to do. It became something she wanted to do.

Week 11 | Final Assessment & MHAP
Linda’s final assessment showed improvements in mobility, blood pressure, and energy. But the biggest change was not written on the assessment: she believed in herself again. She was leaving with a plan.

Week 12 | Celebration & Graduation
Graduation was not the end. Linda celebrated with women who had become friends. Weeks later, she walked from the parking lot, climbed the bleachers, and stayed through her granddaughter’s entire school concert. She was living her own story.

- Her Story. In Her Own Words.
Real voices. Shared movement.
I absolutely love this program and adore all of the ladies. The camaraderie is amazing. Every speaker shared something that helped me on my journey.
The workshops and resources opened my eyes. I sought help, found a job, became more active, and gained something I did not expect—new friends.
Operation Change gave me the confidence to make healthier choices. I move more, I feel better, and I know I am not doing it alone.
