The science is in: Holding onto grudges is worse for the grudge holder than for anyone it might be directed toward. Staying mad is so 1989. It’s time to let go and free ourselves of the negativity. This week, Wendy offers a few words of encouragement and a quick rundown of the side effects of forgiving.

Ep. 25 - Forgiveness is the fountain of youth (not really, but it’s really good for you)

Hosted by age activist and style enthusiast Wendy Euler, Cropped is a five-minute podcast for women who don't make their own estrogen anymore. Cropped is short by design: it's shorter than short-term memory or a hot flash or the mini-skirts we're not supposed to wear after 40, which is a dumb rule and you can ignore it.

Plug into Cropped every Monday for Wendy's style tips, pointers on refreshing your wardrobe, ways to stay on top of your game, pretty things she's liking and whatever she feels like talking (or singing) about. Will she talk about bangles or belt out The Bangles? You never know. Cropped is meant to be a moment of levity during these cruddy times - and whew! They. Are. Cruddy. So check it out and let these five minutes be the antidote to crud.
