In her most recent book (her 12th), In The Country of Old, Lieberman reflects about awakening one morning to find herself an immigrant in this new country.  "I now knew I was old," she says.  "My friends were eager to explain that I am NOT old.  It is, they tell me, a state of mind, only a number.  I am unpersuaded by motivational mush." With wit, humor and no small dose of attitude, she argues that the work of old is to conmpensate for whar we lose with age, and to have fun in the process.

Melissa Fritchle is a California-based psychotherapist with a focus on Holistic Health and Sex and Body Positivity.  Her first book, The Conscious Sexual Self Workbook, grew out of her popular blog.  In recent years Melissa has been drawn to EcoPsychology and EcoSpirituality, offering spiritual direction and soul coaching.  She recently launched a Substack called "Soul Entwined With Earth" to inspire us all to connect more deeply with the natural world.  We discuss, among other things, how the fears and anxieties surrounding sex and body image in early adulthood often resurface as we age.  And how the natural world offers counseling and inspiration.

In his memoir, "Growing Up Psychedelic.
