When I talk to my friends about aging we're all in this spot where we feel somewhat unfulfilled by life, like somethings missing. It makes me wonder what's wrong and where in my life I need to improve. In this episode, I look at where I am in Erickson's stages of development and how I don't always fit into my age group because I'm an older mom.
