The Girlfriend's Guide to an Empty Nest

41. Being Yourself Without Apology as You Age


Listen Later

Today we are chiming in on how to take care of ourselves. Please note, taking care of yourself doesn’t just mean exercise or eating nourishing meals. It also means learning how to be resilient to peer pressure to do something a certain way, like those around you are. We also share about caring for our future self by caring for our current selves physically and emotionally. We’ll be chatting today tons too about clothing and how to let yourself wear what you wanna! Even if your kids think your fashion is wacky :) 


You’ll hear today:


  1. The freedom that comes from not caring what others think about your words, appearance, life choices etc

  2. Our thoughts on dressing aging bodies (is it okay to still dress like your 20 even when you aren’t?)

  3. Being mindful to listen to the right voices

  4. The comfort and confidence to be yourself, unapologetically 

  5. How clothing can become an unhelpful armour 

  6. Anne’s experience “getting her colors” done

  7. The power of considering what is right for you and not just doing what appears right to other

  8. Considering “Grandma You” and what you can do to be the version of her you desire to be one day

  9. Commentary on barrel jeans … what the heck?!

  10. How you feel vs what other people think

  11. Watching out for the “Comparison Gauge"

  12. Finding health promoting behaviors that work for you personally 

  13. Learning what feels good for you (which might not look like what the influencer says to do or buy)
