In this episode of The Things We Know, Kari and Lisa get real about something most of us experience but rarely talk about: what it feels like to live in a body that’s changing. From shifting energy and brain fog to the pressure to “age gracefully,” they unpack how culture, comparison, and internalized expectations shape the way we see ourselves. With reflections from their own lives and insights from experts like Dr. Jen Gunter, Brené Brown, and Mary Pipher, they explore what it means to stay kind to yourself, release old narratives, and live well in the body you’re in—today. They acknowledge what’s hard, but also celebrate the gift of change—because aging, for all its challenges, still beats the alternative!
