The next, you’re 52 and wondering if that new crease on your forehead is from smiling too hard at a dog in a stroller or from accidentally watching the news. Either way — it’s earned. Let’s be clear: I don’t have wrinkles. I have laugh lines, love marks, and life creases — topographical proof that I’ve felt…

We’ve all played the game: If you could have brunch with any celebrity, who would it be? But let’s narrow it down—just one actor. One golden ticket to sit across the table from someone who’s made you laugh, cry, think, or feel seen through the screen. No pressure, right?But here’s the thing: choosing just one actor for a one-time brunch feels like trying to pick a favorite movie when your mood…

As a pro-age activist, I’m here to dismantle these stereotypes one laugh at a time. So grab your…

Ah, aging. It’s the gift that keeps on giving, like a never-ending game of bingo where the prizes are bifocals, back pain, and a mystery pill organizer. For many, the journey comes with an extra twist: chronic illness. But hear me out—what if we could reframe chronic illness as the ultimate pro-age flex? Stay with me. There’s humor in here somewhere. Chronic Illness: Nature’s Way of Slowing You…

Let’s talk about milestone birthdays—those big, round-number celebrations that make you pause and go, “Wait, how did I get here?” If you’re reading this, congratulations! You’re officially a survivor of life’s surprises, plot twists, and questionable fashion trends. Milestone birthdays are not something to dread; they’re trophies of time, wisdom, and, let’s face it, your ability to navigate the…

Let’s face it—getting older comes with its quirks. Knees crackle like a cereal ad, and you find yourself muttering, “Who left the lights on?” even when it’s broad daylight. But let me tell you, one of the true joys of aging is learning to savor life—especially when it comes to food.When we were younger, food was often a means to an end. Wolf down a granola bar on the way to work, scarf pizza at 2…
