Today on Feminine Roadmap Gina and her guest, Dr. Freida Birnbaum, discuss attitudes about aging in the ages and stages of life. Dr. Freida shares her perspective on the way we are all impacted by the attitudes about women in the world around us, how the opinions of others shapes our own attitudes and beliefs about ourselves and aging. As each age and stage of life comes along, layers are added to the stories we hear and those we tell ourselves which often leads us to believe things that are not necessarily true. Dr. Freida encourages listeners to think about the messages we women have been influenced by and to take the time to question those messages. This episode is full of enlightening conversation and gentle encouragement to make this age and stage the best of your life!
