Laser treatment this, face lift that - can't anyone just get old anymore? 

Today we're talking all things anti-aging and why the movement to constantly look younger makes it seem like having wrinkles might be the worst thing to happen to a person. 

We start today's discussion with a brief review of The Princess Bride and the word 'crone', before diving into why aging is normal (and a privilege), how wisdom comes with growing older, why what you look like is only a *fraction* of who you are, and how the best way to combat the fear of aging is to truly understand the valuable qualities that you have.

We also chat about celebrity culture and the spectacle that comes with 'no makeup' red carpet looks, why plastic surgery marketing can make you second guess yourself (and your smile lines), and why it doesn't matter anyway because we can't stop the clock.
