The Aging Project

The Aging Project

Aging. Everyone’s doing it, right? And it’s a hell of a lot better than the alternative. So why is it so often portrayed as something for women to fear and fight, rather than embrace and celebrate? The Aging Project is proud to present this trail-blazing podcast series that flips the bird to the notion that women in their forties and above should be either slowly fading into the background, or in a constant battle to look younger. We want to show you how we can all choose to age fabulously and without apology, and to own our age with pride - with great health, style and vitality. Hosted by Shelley Craft, the first season of The Aging Project podcast features candid, no-holds-barred interviews with twelve of the world’s leading and most inspiring minds in the field of aging well. Join Shelley as she discovers how everything from nutrition to meditation, style to gut health (and lots more!), can not only positively impact our journey into middle-life and beyond, but help make it the best time of our lives. We’re all in this together, ladies - let’s learn how to do it WELL.

Kate emphasises the need for women to feel alive in their bodies, clear in the mind, and connected in their souls. Kate also highlights the power of self-care and creating solid foundations for overall well-being including the importance of building a support team for mind, body, and spirit. She discusses the role of prayer and spirituality in supporting women to come into their true power.

    Self love, self-care: If not now, then when? with Josie Thomson

    In this conversation, Shelley Craft and Josie Thomson discuss the importance of self-love and its impact on aging well. They explore the challenges of loving oneself and share personal stories of growth and transformation. They also discuss the influence of conditioning and comparison, the wake-up call of illness, and the power of choosing to live life on one's own terms. The conversation highlights the need to open a positive and honest conversation with oneself and the importance of acknowledging and processing emotions. They emphasise the practice of self-like and self-love as a way to cultivate a healthy relationship with oneself. In this conversation, Josie Thomson discusses the importance of intuition and trusting our inner voice. She explains that intuition happens in the body, while the brain can often lead us astray due to unconscious programs and the primary goal of safety. Josie emphasises the need to observe discomfort and make choices that prioritise our own safety and well-being. She also shares practical tips for incorporating self-love into everyday life, such as setting intentions and finding a happy song. Josie highlights the importance of breaking patterns and finding self-empowerment, as well as the journey of falling in love with oneself. She recommends books and shares an affirmation: 'What will be is up to me.'

    Takeaways

    • Self-love is essential for aging well and accepting oneself
    • Illness can serve as a wake-up call to prioritise self-care and self-love
    • Conditioning and comparison can hinder self-love and authenticity
    • Acknowledging and processing emotions is necessary for self-discovery and healing. Intuition happens in the body, while the brain can often lead us astray.

    What do you FEAR?, with Emma Murray

    In this conversation, Shelley Craft and Emma Murray discuss the impact of fear on our lives and how to manage it. They explore the subconscious fears we carry with us every day and the physiological responses that accompany them. Emma explains that our fear response is a survival mechanism that can make life a struggle. She emphasises the importance of becoming aware of our fear and its manifestations in our thoughts, feelings, and actions. Emma provides practical steps for changing our fear response and accepting our fears.

    In this conversation, Emma Murray shares valuable insights and tools for managing fear and anxiety. She emphasises the importance of being present in the moment and not dwelling on the past or worrying about the future.

    Women, Wine, and Wellness: It's Complicated (Especially in the Silly Season)

    In this episode, our guest, Shanna Whan, the CEO, creator, and founder of Sober in the Country, shares her personal journey and the stories she's gathered from individuals across Australia. This episode explores the challenges and societal expectations during the holiday season synonymous with wine, champagne, and spirits.

    Episode Highlights:

    Social Pressures and Stigmas: The conversation delves into the societal expectations and stigmas associated with alcohol consumption. Shanna challenges the notion that a "rock bottom" experience is necessary to address alcohol-related issues.

    Identifying Problematic Drinking: Shanna provides insights into recognising problematic drinking habits. She emphasises that if individuals are questioning their alcohol consumption, that can be telling.

    Government Involvement: Shanna and Shelley touch upon the role of the government in addressing alcohol-related problems. The need for proactive measures and policies to support individuals in their journey towards healthier habits is highlighted.

    Celebrating Sobriety: Shanna advocates for celebrating the positive aspects of sobriety and explores how individuals can still enjoy social events without relying on alcohol.

    Key Takeaways:

    - Problematic drinking can manifest in various aspects of life, affecting health, relationships, work, and more.
    - The decision to quit or reduce alcohol consumption is personal, and there's no universal "rock bottom" requirement.
    - Having a 3 month, rather than 1 month break from alcohol can help individuals assess their relationship with alcohol.
    - Societal expectations and stigmas around alcohol need to be challenged to create a supportive environment for those seeking change.
    - Government involvement is crucial in implementing policies that address alcohol-related issues and provide support for individuals.

    This episode encourages self-reflection on alcohol habits and challenges listeners to reconsider societal norms surrounding drinking. Shanna's perspective offers a compassionate and practical approach to navigating the complexities of alcohol awareness and support.

     Key Quotes

    1. "If you're asking yourself if there's a problem, there's probably a problem."

    2. "People who don't have a problem with alcohol don't ask themselves if they do have a problem."

    3. "There's some bloody good stuff outside of the bottle, and exploring it can be surprisingly rewarding."

    4. "Be thoughtful, be inclusive, be kind, and don't make assumptions about someone's choice not to drink."

    5. "Stop asking or demanding to know why someone says no; simply offer an alternative without judgment."

    6. "Embrace the joy of missing out on the negative impacts of alcohol, focusing on the benefits of a non-alcoholic lifestyle."
