Kat and Val are chatting up all things aging.  How do we bring play into our lives as older adults with full lives? How do we make the choice to grow and expand into our latter years vs. retract and see our lives grow small? How to get better and better at “giving no fucks”? All this and more friends! Enjoy!

This season Kat and Val plan to record longer episodes about once a month as they practice centering their needs while producing this labor of love. If you’d like to support the show please “buy us a cup of coffee” and help offset costs!

Kat and Val’s season finale! Obnoxiously committed to practicing what they preach, our co hosts get even more vulnerable as they discuss and model the practices of centering ourselves in our interpersonal relationships. How doing so can feel tender and unpleasant, and how to allow room for unexpected emotions when they arise. Thank you to everyone who has been on this journey.
