I had so much fun with Heather Creekmore bemoaning some of the aspects of aging, and then pivoting that around and talking about how we can be grateful at the same time. Heather and I are just a few months apart and we talk about some of the surprising effects of aging, choosing praise rather than despair about our aging bodies, and how we have both been humbled as we have gotten older.We discuss:Her biggest surprise of agingHow choosing praise with frustrations of aging can help our heart and mindThings we forget to be grateful for as we ageGet your copy of Aging Gratefully here.Connect with Heather:Compared to Who PodcastImproveBodyImage.comInstagram: @comparedtowhoSupport the Show.Receive my free monthly journal full of food, fitness, faith, fun & moreConnect with Amy: GracedHealth.comJoin the Graced Health community on Facebook!

Send some quick feedback! Click here. On March 17, 2020 I released an episode I was so grateful to have and had been wanting to have. Counselor Christina Chismar joined me to talk about raising our daughters with a healthy body image.Well, as you can imagine, on that date we were collectively distracted and trying to figure out the new normal. It was such an important conversation to have, and I've referenced it several time. Because I'm releasing my new book for teen girls on April 24, 2024 I thought this would be a good time to (re)play it.Whether you've heard it before or not, I think you'll appreciate the wisdom Christina brings.
