Fives often imagine themselves outside of time, but aging has a way of forcing us back into reality.

In this episode, we explore how Fives experience getting older—from bodies that don’t bounce back the way they used to, to the existential weight of midlife, to the surprising hope that comes with perspective. We share stories about family, health, autonomy, and regret, but also about the freedom, wisdom, and community that emerge when you stop trying to outrun time.

IN THIS EPISODE:

The Rift Between Mind and Body – Why our inner age often feels younger than our actual age, and how the body reminds us otherwise.
Facing Mortality – From fears of losing parents to confronting our own decline, what aging stirs up for Fives.
Autonomy and Midlife Crisis – How delayed gratification can turn into foregone gratification, and why midlife forces us to re-evaluate.
Regrets and Religious Conditioning – How past choices shaped our thirties, and what it means to soften instead of harden as we grow older.
Community and Connection – Why relationships, novelty, and shared experiences keep us alive and vibrant.
Hope for the Future – Stories of resilience, learning to take care of ourselves, and what we’re actually looking forward to in our forties and beyond.
