Today I wander through an idea that has been bubbling away for a while - ageing and identity. I share a sweet adventure with my mum, Hazel, a few reflections from friends and colleagues, and a lens from Brian Lowery’s Selfless that invites us to see how others shape our self-image across the years.

Together we explore a mindset that supports vitality: staying curious, building social connection, moving our bodies in ways we enjoy, and contributing so we feel a strong sense of mattering. You will also hear nods to Lucy Ryan’s Revolting Women and the wisdom of Anne Riches.
