#323: Navigating Aging Body Changes with...

Summer Innanen
About this episode

I’m joined by Ivy Felicia, The Body Relationship Coach. This is part 1 of our two-part discussion on navigating the evolving relationship we have with our bodies as we age. In this first part we’re talking about our challenges with our aging bodies, how our relationship with our bodies has shifted, what messages we internalized about aging when we were growing up, and what we love about aging.

Show notes: summerinnanen.com/323

 

In this episode, we talk about:

- Why this topic is personal for both of us,

- The fear mongering in anti-aging messaging,
- How this stage of life can make you more vulnerable to this messaging,
- How ableism mixes in with ageism,
- That not everyone is going to age the same way,
- The freedom of focusing on self-expression instead of external messaging,
- Plus so much more!
