788 From Anti-Aging to Pro-Living

Do you feel like you're trying to outrun the clock when it comes to aging? Is there a part of you that feels like you're trying to turn back the hands of time? How deeply are you caught up in the anti-aging vibe, and how is it affecting you personally? I want to talk about something I'm really passionate about. It's not about not aging, it's about aging healthily and aging well. But there are so many things that get in the way of us being able to focus on it that way, and so many of those things are unconscious. I'm going to talk about how anti-aging culture is impacting us, what the emotional toll is, what you can do about it, and what I'm doing about it. This is an invitation to join me in this pro-living revolution. Read the show notes for today's episode at terricole.com/788 [http://terricole.com/788]
