Episode #260: Our Present and Future Selves!

Alvina is back from her 50th Birthday vacation to Banff! Grace and Alvina talk about how their present selves inform their future selves. For the Fortune Cookie segment, they talk about at what age they'd want to freeze themselves.

How have you been?

Alvina talks about some of the highlights from her 50th birthday celebration trip to Banff! Hear about the yellow mustang convertible they rented and cold plunges! Next up: Party prep for her neon-themed birthday party! Grace has been working and dealing with the heat.

Present and Future Selves

This episode was an idea based on a podcast that Grace has been listing to lately:

The Happiness Lab: “Why we don’t listen to our future selves”

Fortune Cookie Segment:

“What age would you want to freeze yourself?” If you could live forever at any age..what age would you want to stay? Grace: Right before the election of 2016, age 41-42. Alvina would agree….anytime before perimenopause. Age 47-48. Alvina is really embracing age 50.

Gratefuls

Grace is grateful for air conditioning and the Fresno Art Museum! There is a “Once Upon a Book” exhibit there right now! Alvina is grateful for The Artist’s Way.
