In December, Kelsey will join Erica in the 40-somethings club so we've got middle age and aging on our minds. We share what changes we're noticing so far as we age, from gray hair to how society views us and more, and all our feelings about those things. Then we share habits inspired by our aging and our badass older lady role models. Strong feelings about the cultural expectations on how women age are sprinkled liberally throughout.
Mentioned on the show:
