Letting Go of F*cks as We Age

Aging Out of Fucks: Midlife Brain Shifts

Joy and Claire discuss upcoming travel and Claire shares enjoying runs guided by a British-accented DJ coach, switching her weightlifting to evenings for convenience, and the great on-ear headphones review. They talk about Joy's Santa Fe anniversary trip and a Big Thief concert with incredible people-watching and praise for lead singer Adrianne Lenker’s musicianship. They then unpack Ellen Schur’s “Aging Out of Fucks,” linking midlife hormonal/neurological changes to reduced people-pleasing, less self-censorship, energy prioritization, authenticity, and social stigma around women being “difficult.”
