Have you got space for....Women Aging?

TW: Violence against women, rape references

In this episode of The 3E Space podcast, hosts Nick Edgar and Jess Frost explore the complex themes surrounding aging, beauty standards, and societal expectations. They discuss the pressures women face to maintain youthfulness, the contrasting perceptions of aging in men and women, and the impact of media portrayals on self-acceptance. The conversation emphasizes the importance of radical personal responsibility in challenging these norms and encourages listeners to embrace aging authentically and beautifully. The episode concludes with information about upcoming events and community support opportunities.
