104: Does Getting Old Really Have To Suck?

Dorothy and the Dealer Podcast

Does the thought of starting a movie at 8pm annoy you?
Do your knee joints creak when you try to get up?
Does ‘happy hour’, to you, mean taking a nap?
Congratulations - you’ve earned the great privilege of “getting old”.
It happens to all of us, eventually. But does getting old really have to suck? Or is it just different? (Hint: It’s answer two).
This week on Dorothy and the Dealer, Mitch and Mills are getting real on when they realised they were getting old, what it means to age, and the freedoms and joys that also come along with this process.
For Mills, her aging moment came when her 22-year-old niece told her that she had no idea where the phrase “Not Happy Jan” came from.
But there’s a way to make this process “a privilege that you can honour” and not just something to fear. And it comes from realising it’s not so much “I have to do this” but “I get to do this”.
It’s all about choosing every day, how to show up.
So start today and get listening to this extraordinary episode.
