In a recent interview with The New York Times, Actress Chloe Sevigny said, "I think aging is really one of the worst things of all time." In this episode, we chat with our guest Lisa Valentine Clark about the inevitable loss, grief, and change that aging brings. We know though, that the joy of the gospel comes from being anchored in our present reality. How do we stay anchored in reality, and anchored in joy, as we live in a culture that celebrates youth and fears aging? 

Lisa is an actress, comedian, and host of the funny, warm, and upliftingThe Lisa Show. She is also a widow who lovingly cared for her husband of 25 years during the last years of his life as he suffered from ALS. She talks to us about what it was like to pop into the hyper-visible spotlight of the dating market at an age and stage of life when many hope to have put dating far behind them. Her late husband's challenge to her resonates with this question of age: we honor life not by clinging to what is gone, but by moving on and embracing what we have. 

We were so honored to spend time with Lisa, and love her advice that we should live full, gorgeous lives and "invite others to the party."
