Show Notes

We live in a youth-obsessed society, that tells us our value declines as we get older.  Simply being alive implies growing older, but after a certain point, what may lie ahead becomes more real.  We may desire something that we can’t humanly have, as we are made to believe that our youthfulness is our ticket to remain relevant. Then, we might feel shamed for not better preserving that youth.  It’s exhausting.  And it’s merciless.  Instead of seeing aging as something to fight, what joys can we amplify to mitigate the losses of youth, so that we continue to embrace who we are?  

Join us for today’s conversation!  Connie Sobczak is here to share her thoughts on aging.  She is the founder of The Body Positive https://thebodypositive.org/.  Plus, Connie has authored two outstanding books – Embody: Learning to Love Your Unique Body (and quiet that critical voice!) and The Wise Woman Guidebook.  You can also find her at conniesobczak.com. And check out her AMAZING TedX talkhttps://www.ted.com/talks/connie_sobczak_embracing_your_critical_voice_the_gateway_to_self_love
