Week 149: A note on growing older
from Wellness Podcast Hosted by Alyssa Martoccio
In this episode, I tell a story about past me in graduate school during an interview, feeling bad for the middle aged man who was driving me around in his old minivan. But now, I am that man, and let me tell you, don't feel bad for me! I talk in this episode about how middle age is not the worst time, and for me, the time of middle parenting (parenting kids who are school-aged, not toddlers and not teens yet), has been kind of a sweet spot. The action item for this week is a bit open-ended but is to try to think about something you think you already know with beginners mind. It may turn out that you were wrong, need to rethink it, or could benefit from thinking about it from a new angle, whatever it is. Also, fun fact, I learned that women's happiness levels are reported highest in their 70s and 80s, so it's not all downhill from here either!
