Changing Your Mindset About Growing Older

In this episode, Kallie, Caitlin, Charlotte, and Megan share a conversation about their personal experiences with aging and motherhood. They chat about some of the experiences they’ve had in “feeling” older. Some of the topics include physical aging and how your body feels different and adjusting to that, creaky knees, chin hairs, and recovering from a night out.

They discuss how your pre-kid life is in the past, being nostalgic about these fun experiences we had in our 20’s, and mourning that even though there are still a lot of great seasons of life ahead of us. They talk about what it is like when you know you’re done having kids and that part of your life is over and how that coincides with a lot of changes physically to our body. They mention the shift when you go from a season of life with small kids when that’s a very huge part of your identity and how that shift occurs once your kids become more independent from you.

They also talk about turning milestone ages like 40 and 50 and how those feel. They address the anxieties that come with aging, like noticing new physical changes and worrying about the future. This episode offers a heartfelt but funny and relatable discussion on navigating the complexities of aging, health, and motherhood.
