Season 1

Episode 19
In Part 1 of our episode on Aging, we start off by debating the different phases of life - and the different ways of framing them. Which decade milestone was more disturbing - turning 40, 50 or was it 30? Laugher is such an important part of aging well, but are we good at experiencing joy? We discuss the difference between chronological age and physiological age and end Part 1 with of course .... talking about the visual signs of aging. Which one of us is more open to try botox do you think?
Well, as middle age women, we share a few of the topics that cross our mind - and hope they help you look forward to your future!
