How do we age differently? In this week’s episode, I’m joined by Yvonne Marchese, podcaster and creator of Late Bloomer Living, to discuss the different perspectives on aging.
Together, we challenge societal norms that emphasize the need to stay perpetually young and reflect on Yvonne's personal journey through her 30s and 40s, including career changes, motherhood, and self-discovery.
Yvonne shares insights on finding happiness through curiosity, embracing playfulness, and letting go of ageist mindsets. They also touch upon the impact of social media on beauty standards and the importance of maintaining a hopeful outlook towards the future. Our episode concludes with practical advice for integrating more joy and personal fulfillment into daily life.
