WHAT THIS EPISODES ABOUT…
Hello to all my fabulous listeners. I’m Shauna Hoffman
Happy Birthday to all of the Leos out there! I’m one of them. Since my birthday is this week I thought I would have some fun talking about what it means to get older, whether you are in your 20’s or 80’s! Really, how do we do this in today’s society of “hot celebrity new looks” and “Cosmo’s perfect ten hairstyles for women over 30?” I may be a therapist speaking to all of you about how to be your genuine selves, how to love yourself for who you are! But I’m reading the same magazines as you are! And I am always being challenged by my own ego.
I love the idea that as we get older we are supposed to gain more wisdom. But even as a 17-year old I realized that wisdom is not gained easily. Often it’s gained from lessons given to us from an older wiser human, I could listen to my grandfather share his wisdom with me any day. But most often it is gained from surviving experiences in our lives. Surviving them, making sense of them, learning any and all lessons we can from them, and embracing them.
