Age Against the Machine

from Friends on Purpose · host Friends on Purpose

What if we’re all just… slowly testing positive for age? We start with a torn meniscus and somehow end up talking about mortality, meaning, and whether sleep scores are now a personality trait. Elaine brings the science (yes, aging might actually be treated like a disease), while Eric brings…whatever Eric brings, as they wrestle with the weird gap between feeling 30 and realizing your body disagrees. Along the way, things get more real with stories about memory, loss, and the quiet ways we leave pieces of ourselves behind. It’s funny, it’s a little heavy, and it might make you think differently about what it actually means to grow older…on purpose.
