Discover some of the questions we should all be asking about ourselves as we age in this week’s Too Young To Be Old, as host Diane Gilman talks about learning to love the aging process with life coach and author, Kwavi Agbeyegbe. The answers might change how you see yourself, and the way we view aging!Discovering Your PathKwavi, author of “50 Questions to Answer When You Turn 50,” shares her insights on how women can embrace their age without shame. She and Diane discuss Kwavi’s top five questions from her book. How would you live if you knew you had a year to live? What would you stop doing? What would you start doing? Kwavi explains how the answers can encourage women to live life to the fullest.Embracing ChangeKwavi chats with Diane about the hesitation that many women have in asking questions about themselves as they age. She stresses the importance of accepting the change and confronting uncomfortable truths, and how these can lead to a happier life. Redefining AgingRejecting the notion that “50 is the new 30,” Kwavi and Diane assert that women should embrace their age proudly. 50 is the new 50, as Kwavi says! They discuss the societal attitudes that older women face, including the pressure to hide the signs of aging like having white or gray hair.Cultural PerspectivesKwavi contrasts the celebration of older women in Nigerian culture with the ageism prevalent in American society. She talks about the power older women have to redefine societal norms around aging, rather than having to accept them. Community and SupportDiane and Kwavi discuss the lack of support and community for women as they age, particularly in navigating health and happiness. They encourage women regardless of their age to work together to advocate for their rights.Seizing OpportunitiesKwavi encourages women to pursue their passions. She shares her own experience of becoming Miss Georgia in her 50s, which only happened because she embraced her opportunities for happiness and fulfillment.Connect with KwaviWebsite  www.kwavi.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/kwavi_tv/Tik Tok - https://vm.tiktok.com/TTPdkdYnCv/Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/kwavitvBook - https://a.co/d/fqKmJmaConnect with DianeFacebook, Instagram, Tiktok and Youtube: @thedianegilman  Website: thedianegilman.com
