0:00.0	What is something you don't often talk about, but you know you need to talk about?
0:06.2	You know, that thing that has affected or is affecting your life this month on the Jesus Over
0:11.1	Everything show.
0:12.2	I'm heading headfirst into topics that are long overdue for conversation.
0:17.9	The pressure to look young forever, caring for aging parents, role reversals,
0:23.9	menopause, women holding other women back, and more. I'm your host, Lisa Whittle. And if you're
0:29.6	new here, welcome. If you've been around, you know how this goes. Jesus honesty and straight talk,
0:35.2	buckle up, friend. It's about to get real.
0:55.9	Thank you. honesty and straight talk, buckle up, friend. It's about to get real. I have to tell you that I got this series idea because I posted something about trying to look forever young and the impossible standards of beauty and society. And I got so much feedback about it.

1:46.3	the football star or the best athlete. And now they aren't that anymore. And it's led to a lot of
1:52.2	mental struggle. And so I think it affects men in that way, this sort of, you know, stay forever
1:58.4	young idea. But also, you need to know that younger women
2:02.5	are a huge factor in why I'm doing this particular show. You know, a lot of times I have
2:08.4	younger women on my mind. When I think about preaching, speaking, podcasting, writing, I think
