Aging, Identity & Autonomy: WTF Is Happening to My Face? Part 1 of 3

Nobody warned you that midlife would feel like this. Right as you're starting to see yourself more clearly, the world starts looking at you differently. In the Season 2 premiere of the Luminescence Podcast, Schuyler Grant sits down with OB-GYNs Dr. Somi Javaid and Dr. Sarah de la Torre, and writer and teacher Elena Brower, to open a conversation that's been a long time coming: what actually happens to women's looks as we age. This is about a lot more than skin and hair. They discuss: The impossible standard around how women age: Damned if you do, damned if you don't, and why aging has become the new debate that pits women against each other The archetypes of maiden, mother, and crone: The gifts and shadow sides of each, and why midlife isn't about leaving one behind but learning to hold all of them at once The appreciation gap: Why we can't see ourselves clearly when we're in it, and the practice of learning to appreciate what's actually there before hindsight forces it For any woman navigating the noise around aging and looking for a conversation that actually goes somewhere.
