Hit Subscribe to keep up with new episodes! In this unapologetic and hilariously honest episode, Angie and Shelly tackle the idea of aging gracefully—what does it really mean, and do we even care? From anti-aging serums mysteriously appearing in bathroom drawers to embracing wrinkles, gray hair, and whatever the hell we want to wear after 50, this episode is all about rejecting society’s rules and doing things our own way.

They also explore the great filter debate, the importance of being in photos (yes, even if you don’t love how you look), and why giving non-physical compliments can change the way we see beauty. If you've ever felt pressured to age the right way, this episode is for you.

In This Episode: ✨ What Even is “Aging Gracefully”? – Society’s unrealistic standards and why we’re over it. ✨ Serums, Spackle & Bondo – The anti-aging industry and our highly scientific take on skincare. ✨ The Great Filter Debate – Is using a filter lying, or is it just like wearing makeup? ✨ Being in Photos for Your Loved Ones – Why it matters, even if you don’t love how you look. ✨ Unlearning Beauty Standards – How marketing has tricked us into thinking we have to be flawless. ✨ Aging Disgracefully – Why we prefer to age unapologetically instead. ✨ The Art of the Non-Physical Compliment – How to compliment others (and yourself!) beyond looks.
