I find people can so often write themselves off as if they're on the decline, even in their 40's. I wanted to record this episode to invite you to question where you take on such ideas from and how changing those ideas may be useful — or even life-changing.

In this episode, I speak on:

• how we might feel about our age and growing older and why
• society's pressures and expectations
• the benefit of keeping the ego in check
• how it's possible to look after ourselves into later life
• the importance of learning about our nervous system
• 'elders' not always being older than us
• the female archetypes
• derogatory terms we can choose to see differently
• other cultures may be/feel different... ?

Themes: health, ageing, menopause, exercise, feminine archetypes

At the end, I share a poem written by Tanya Markul.

I mention Jane Harwicke Collings, Mark Twain, Socrates, Queer Eye.
