Unapologetic Aging
“Your body is your life partner, not your life’s project.” - Deb Benfield
We were thrilled to host author Deb Benfield for a night where we discussed our relationships with our bodies. We discussed her incredible new book, Unapologetic Aging: How to Mend and Nourish Your Relationship with Your Body. Questions we contemplated and discussed…
Where in your life do you feel subtle pressure to “optimize,” “fix,” or improve your body—even when you know better?
What messages about aging did you absorb from the women who came before you—and which of those do you want to keep, question, or release?
When do you feel most at home in your body lately? When do you feel most at odds with it?
If your body were your life partner rather than your life’s project, what might change in how you treat yourself?
