Contemplating my Mortality

from A Thousand Tiny Steps · host Barb Higgins

In this episode, I reflect on the birthdays I've had, my age, and my mortality. Age is a concept that has changed over time for me. I used to think 50 was old, and now I realize I still have so much life to live ahead of me. As I ponder how I will take care of Jack and analyze my decisions, I also think about how I have improved as a person.    Key Takeaways:  [4:27] The concept of age is a funny thing  [9:09] Realizing I was halfway to 30  [11:40] Turning 30 and looking at myself in the mirror  [12:27] When I was 40 I had just had Molly and my life took a turn  [13:46] Being 50 and having multiple part time jobs to pay the bills  [15:30] I haven't celebrated my birthday since Molly died   [17:14] Having a baby in my late 50s and thinking about my mortality  [18:35] Thinking about adopting a baby and what I want my future to be  [20:54] Finally starting to take better care of myself physically  [23:59] College was not the best time of my life, it doesn't need to be [28:18] You do not have to rush with life  [30:10] Being in great physical shape  [31:46] Thinking about death  Resources: The Nest Group 28 Carrots Group Barb's commercial  Okay, Yup podcast  Connect with Barb:   Website   Facebook    Instagram   YouTube   The Molly B Foundation
