In about a week, I'm going to celebrate my 55th birthday. I remember when I once thought that was old. Hahaha!!!In honour of my 55th birthday, I want to share some thoughts on aging, specifically aging as a woman:

  • what it means to get old and look old (smashing the beauty myth!)
  • the very real possibility of losing mental agility
  • research that suggests age is a mindset, not a number

I believe to my core that getting older is not something we should take for granted: it’s a privilege and should be welcomed and celebrated.

So come celebrate with me as I step through the door on my way to 60. I'm not rushing to get there, but I AM hoping to get there!

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on all this :)

English listening challenge:

This episode is chock-full of idioms and common collocations - listen for them. How many can you find? Which do you know? Which ones can you use this week in your language practice?

Thanks for listening,

Catherine xoxo
