About this episode
Do you feel like you're the victim of ageism? Or--whether you're 30, 40, 50, or beyond–that you are too old to make your dreams come true? In Dr. Carla's work with thousands of people (as well as her own life journey), she has found that fears about aging can creep into our minds and cause anxiety and immobilizing self-doubt. And, as the benefits of youth are overemphasized in societies around the world, it's easy to go down the rabbit hole of feeling unworthy, no longer relevant, or stuck. But you have the power to age well–body, mind, and spirit–by making a few positive, simple shifts in your life. Getting older doesn't mean that you're no longer attractive or valuable. You don't need to be a victim of ageism or self-ageism! In fact, many find that their more mature years are the most vibrant and liberating. In today's episode, we'll dive into how YOU can live your best, most joyful life at every age! Join Dr. Carla and expert Bill Webb, author of "So Much Left: Adventuring, Living, Working, Loving, and Creating Beyond 50" for an uplifting journey into the wild and wonderful journey of healthy aging. From exploring the secret to being sexy (at every age) to how movement fosters positive energy, this episode offers the "secret sauce" for loving yourself at every age. Topics discussed include aging, maturity, confidence, sexiness, movement, positivity, body-mind-spirit, yoga, stretching, photography, work, life roles, models, career, film, volunteering, exercise, walking, running, hiking, group support, support groups, friendships, support, positive change, and connection.
