Curiosity. You might have heard that it killed the cat ... but the truth is that curiosity can truly expand your life, your perspectives and your capacity to meet yourself with love and compassion. We believe, a foundational emotion & skill to have for a flourishing midlife.
Welcome to this episode of Midlife Unfiltered - a podcast about unapologetically embracing the Season of Me.
In this episode, join co hosts Anita McLachlan and Erica Webb as we delve into exploring the role of curiosity in midlife and beyond. You will hear:
- How being curious can fuel personal growth, foster new brain pathways, and bust the myth of the inevitable mental decline that comes with age.
- The science behind curiosity
- Anita's and Erica's experiences with writing 'Letters from Love' to themselves (an act of curiosity in itself)
- The role of self-compassion and its link to curiosity.
We're so glad you're here. It's time to live life on your terms. It's time for Midlife Unfiltered.
