Encore: Psychologist Mary Pipher on Flourishing as We Age

Description:

Mary Pipher has spent her whole career noticing the gap between what the culture says is happening to women and what is actually happening to them. She did it in her thirties with Reviving Ophelia, and she did it again decades later with Women Rowing North. In this Sacred Work encore, Jen sits down with the clinical psychologist and author of eleven books to talk about the second half of life and what it actually asks of you. Mary makes the case that women get happier as they age, and she has the research to back it up, along with a story about two locker rooms that lands harder than any statistic. She also talks about thanking her own worn out hands for a lifetime of work, why reasonable expectations are the one thing happy people everywhere share, and the line Jen has not been able to shake since: we all age, but we do not all grow. Only one of those is up to you.

Thought-provoking Quotes:

We all age but we don’t all grow.
If you don’t become better you become bitter. You either grow or you shrink.
You should thank your hands for all the work they have done for you.
We all find what we’re looking for.
I have everything I need to be happy right between my ears.
