This conversation discusses the challenges of confronting the aging process, with Sarah sharing a recent moment of seeing photographs of herself and thinking she looked...well, older. This introspection is mirrored by a conversation about Stef's Wednesday Weekly email, which talked about the "emergency" feeling of noticing differences in sagging skin and redistribution of body proportions approaching middle age.

As the conversation unfolds, it touches upon a broader philosophical reflection on aging, not just as a physical process but as an emotional and existential journey.

We contemplate the societal and personal implications of aging, from the fear of invisibility and loss of value in a youth-centric culture to the liberating aspects of growing older, such as gaining freedom.

We talk about the complexity of body image issues, drawing parallels between the struggles with weight and the acceptance of aging.

And don't forget, if you'd like to meet us for an in-person event, we've got two coming up in May 2024. We're teaming up with Marcus Kain of Strong Not Starving for an evening social & talks in Brighton, and a day retreat for nervous system regulation at Bournemouth Beach.
