How do we age differently? In this week’s episode, I’m joined by Yvonne Marchese, podcaster and creator of Late Bloomer Living, to discuss the different perspectives on aging.

Yvonne shares insights on finding happiness through curiosity, embracing playfulness, and letting go of ageist mindsets. They also touch upon the impact of social media on beauty standards and the importance of maintaining a hopeful outlook towards the future.
