Getting older is an inevitable part of our journey whether we accept it or not. While our culture hasn’t made it seem desirable, how could our lives change if we saw aging as a chance to become who we really are?

In this episode, we’ll explore that philosophy. Today I’m speaking with Stefania Medetti, a woman who has blazed an unconventional path. She’s a writer, sociologist, and creator behind the online magazine The Age Buster.

Her work is not only centered around the joys of aging, but also the untold stories of men and women who seek paths to meaning. Listen in to hear Stefania’s extraordinary message on how to challenge the traditional ideas of aging, follow your instincts, and reinvent yourself at any age.

We covered:

• Why Stefania’s instincts led her to transition her life from Italy to Thailand 
• The life-changing moment when she discovered society’s unrealistic outlook on aging 
• Cultural differences in attitudes about aging between Asian and Western cultures 
• How to shift your mindset when your past success—and status—becomes an obstacle 
• How to transform your ideas into reality by showing up consistently 
• Why you must leave your resentment (and emotional baggage) at the door
