Dr. Frieda Birnbaum – It’s not how old you are, it’s how you are old

There’s a TV ad that shows a woman looking straight at the camera and saying, “Age is a number, and mine’s unlisted.” She has the right idea. Focusing on our age and one day deciding we’re too old does nothing but limit our opportunities and possibilities for exciting great things to come into our lives. One woman who also believes that age shouldn’t hold us back is Dr. Frieda Birnbaum. Besides being a noted psychologist and expert on family dynamics, Dr. Frieda holds the record of being the oldest woman in America to give birth to twins. She practices what she preaches, that age should never be a barrier to following your dreams.
