Age & Death
Manage episode 410537359 series 3550210
Ever found yourself chuckling over the absurdity of life's milestones and the relentless ticking of the clock? That's precisely where we land in our latest episode, where we throw back the curtain on aging with a mix of humor and heartfelt candor. Join us as we swap tales about the transformation of hangovers and Valentine's Day escapades with age, muse on the societal pressures hitched to life events like university and retirement, and even dissect the age-old question: When does one officially become 'old'?
Imagine a day so packed with activity it whizzes by, then contrast that with a moment of complete stillness—how does our perception of time shift? We dive into that enigma, ponder overcompensation for years less lived, and revel in the peace found in solitudes, like beachside contemplation and meditation. Our conversation is a colorful tapestry of personal growth tales and life's ebbing changes that encourage you to pause and cherish the present, especially with those dearest to us.
To wrap things up, we don't just ponder the personal journeys we're on; we also explore the connections between our ancestry and who we are today—minus the dryness of a typical history lesson. As we talk about staying true to oneself in the face of aging, this episode promises to be a balm for the soul, a laugh for the day, and a nudge to live life authentically—plaid corduroys optional!
