It’s a bird! It’s a plane! Oh, wait… it’s just my birthday.
Aging is so mysterious, isn’t it?
In this special birthday episode I discuss:
- Why aging has more in common with Area 51 than you’d think (okay, this might be a stretch but it’s my birthday, so just go with it)
- The way our psyche attaches to a certain conception of self at a particular age
- The wisdom of each decade
- The peace and acceptance of aging
- The Area 51 metaphor: Aging is mysterious, dangerous, weaponized, full of unidentified objects, secretive, and erased
- The differing generational experiences of aging
- The surprising life-changing discoveries of mid-life
- Speaking of surprising - the sexual satisfaction of people in the second half of life
- The use of sexuality as a power and as a manipulation
- The challenge of figuring out an ‘appropriate’ way to be in the world as an aging woman
- The effect of media and images on our self-perception and mental health
- The limiting roles of women past childbearing age and some alternate possibilities
- The liberation of stepping outside the mating game
- The line between self-acceptance and complacency
- The deep complexities of what it means to foster self-validation versus external validation
- Approaching the complexity of aging and self-image with curiosity
- Recognizing the limits and blessings of mortality
- What is meant for you is coming to you and what is not, you can let go
- The takeaway: Mirror work to practice self-love
