A friend told me I was aging backwards at lunch and I took the compliment (obviously). But then something came out of my mouth I hadn’t planned, and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since. This episode is about what “you look 20” actually means when you’re 48, why we’ve been handed the wrong language for what’s happening to women over 40, and why the real power isn’t in defying age… it’s in rewriting what age means entirely.
If you’re a woman over 40 who has heard “you look amazing for your age” and felt both flattered and slightly insulted at the same time… this one’s for you.
