Forget Aging Gracefully, Try Living Agelessly on for Size

Aging as a woman is complex. Typically as we enter our 40s, and into our 50s and 60s, our confidence and general contentment soars, but on the flip side we struggle with physical changes that shouldn’t detract from our contributions or worthiness to society but often do. Case in point, Lisa LaFlamme. At the peak of her career, trusted by Canadians for decades as an exemplary newscaster, she was dumped by Bell Media apparently because she had the audacity to let her hair go grey. Then there’s the lies we tell ourselves, that we’re too old to change, or we can’t do something because we’re over the hill. Finally, we can’t forget the pressure we put on ourselves and others to stay young, or the pressure we put on women to allow themselves to age naturally as if Botox was the enemy. The complexity of this issue prompted this discussion with Jennifer John and Denise Chand from The Sacred Space Coaching about aging. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
