Welcome to Episode 307 of Live Happy Now.

We spend a lot of time in today's world celebrating youthfulness and anti-aging, but what

if instead we learned how to celebrate the gift of growing older?

I'm your host, Paula Phelps, and today we're talking with Stephanie Raffluck, author of A Delightful

Little Book on Aging and The Fourthcoming Creatrix Rising, Unlocking the Power of Midlife Women.

She's here to help us see aging in a whole new light and shares how Midlife provides us with a new

opportunity to explore our creativity and reimagine our future.

Stephanie, welcome to Live Happy Now.

It is a super special day for me.

I turned 69 years old today.

We're recording us on April 1st. I'm an April Fool's baby.

What a great day to have a birthday. Nobody forgets. Nobody forgets your birthday when you're born on

I was growing older.

I got to figure this out.

Yeah.
