The following podcast is a deer media production.

Hi, I'm Wendy.

And I'm Jess and you're listening to the Food Heaven Podcast.

Your online resource for inclusive and accessible wellness.

Welcome back to another episode of the Food Heaven Podcast.

We are so excited about today's episode because

we are going to be talking about aging, which I don't think we've ever covered

on this podcast and everyone kind of goes through it.

So Jess, how do you feel about aging?

Do you have any fears around aging?

That's a good question.

I do have fears.

I think my biggest fear, which she addresses in this episode, is just like losing my memory,

because I feel like that's what I, my memories are what I cherish more than anything,

and I have so many amazing ones.

So to see my, well, Nana, go through all timers and now my grandma on the other side kind

of going through it, that's really scary to me.

And then I think just like being discounted or like counted out by society in general,

I think is something that is common, especially in the United States.

We don't always like look up to our elders the way that we do in other cultures.

And so that's a big fear of mine too, just feeling like not valuable.

As you get older, what about you though?
