Corinne Foxx - @corinnefoxx

What we're drinking: 2018 Nga Waka "Three Canoes" Riesling 



TOPIC: 

Today, we’re talking all about how to age joyfully, embrace getting older, and address some of the fear that comes up when we think about aging. We discuss reasons why so many of us dread our birthdays in today’s youth-obsessed culture and share a few clinically proven ways to feel your best as you age. We redefine what it means to age ‘gracefully’ and also highlight some later-in-life successful figures who serve as major inspiration to us as we approach our 30s. 

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Why getting older doesn’t have to be scary 
  • The role that the billion-dollar beauty industry plays in our approach to aging 
  • Letting go of the pressure that we put on ourselves to achieve things on a certain timeline 
  • Celebs like Julia Child, Vera Wang, and Laverne Cox who prove that you can achieve your dreams after the age of 40 
  • The importance of staying social and connected to community as you age 
  • How embracing what’s important to you can help you feel more youthful 
  • Surprising health benefits of getting older 
  • The connection between regular exercise and brain function

WRAP UP:

To wrap up the episode,  we play the BFF Quiz. Corinne asks Nat what she expects they’ll be doing when they’re 85 years old, and we both agree that there will be lots of traveling and conjuring. Nat asks Corinne what she would do if she won the lottery, and Corinne says that buying her mom a new house is at the top of the list.
