029. Aging Delightfully with Stephanie Raffelock
In this episode of Soul Chats Podcast, I’m chatting with Stephanie Raffelock, author of A Delightful Little Book on Aging. Stephanie’s perspective on aging is one that I feel personally is much-needed. It focuses on the gifts and opportunities that rise from being “a woman of a certain age,” taking several big steps away from old-school stereotypes.
Our conversation touches upon male-created feminine archetypes and the need to reclaim - and rename - those archetypes for ourselves as women, the great power of menopause, the illumination aging provides, the existence police and so much more. It’s a rich and varied and wise discussion. Enjoy.
