Anxious? How To Use Your Anxiety To Find Your Joy.
Whoever said anxiety was just a “young person’s game” clearly hasn’t talked to enough senior women. While we may have more wisdom and fewer meetings on our calendar, anxiety can still sneak in—especially during big life changes like retirement, health shifts, or simply having too much time to think. And let’s be honest: we often end up absorbing way to much of everyone else’s stress as well—partners, adult kids, even the dog seems a little tense these days.
The upside? We’ve been around the block a few times—and we’ve got some solid tools in our toolkit. Whether it’s perspective, resilience, or just knowing when to phone a friend (or a therapist), many of us are more prepared than we think. This article, written by one of our favorite authors, Eric Barker, dives into the nitty-gritty of anxiety and offers smart, practical ways to handle it - because it’s never too late to feel a little more peace and a little less panic.
