Hugging Handrails and Forgetting Keys: The Realities of Getting Older

The Big 6-Oh!

Show Notes

As the years roll by, the things that keep us up at night drastically shift from youthful relationship drama to some very real, and often hilarious, aging anxieties. In this episode we dive into the brutal truths of getting older, from unexplainable bruises and mysterious head bumps to the sudden, urgent need to hold onto the handrail. Tune in as we unpack everything our listeners are stressing about in their sixties, including the lingering fear of whether forgetting where you left your keys is just a normal slip-up or the start of something much bigger.
