About this episode

The episode explores the fears and reflections associated with aging and the passage of time.

Have you at any point looked at someone you love deeply and suddenly realized that they look older than you remember? Exactly our point! In this episode, we reflected on the concept of aging, what it feels like, when we first noticed it happening to us, and why so many of us are afraid of getting older. We got into the physical side of it, especially looking at our parents as reference points, but also shared on the weight of time passing and the feeling of not achieving one's goals in life. Not to spill too much tea — all we can say is listen to the episode and share with a friend or family member. It will be worth your time. ;)
