68. Too old to start over? Why are we still so scared of aging..?

Ladies, let's make this the year we give as much of a fuck about our age as men do.Why do so many of us feel like we’re “running out of time” by the time we reach our 30s?In this episode, I’m unpacking the notion that our value as women declines with age, that we’re falling behind if life hasn’t happened in the “right” order, and that starting over somehow means we’ve failed.I share how my own perfect timeline completely shattered, and why letting go of my rigid idea of how life should unfold became one of the most freeing things I’ve ever done.If you’ve ever felt behind, worried you’re too old to change direction, or caught yourself believing your best years are already behind you, this conversation is for you.In this episode:* Why women are taught to fear getting older* The difference between fearing age and fearing what society says age means* How rigid timelines keep us stuck in unhappy relationships, careers and identities* Why you’re never truly “starting over”* The freedom that comes from releasing the life you thought you were supposed to have* The beauty of surrounding yourself with an age-diverse group of women* Why your most exciting chapter is still ahead of youIf this episode resonated with you, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
