We're talking facials, finances, and figuring out how to sleep when your body has other plans. Join us for a hilarious look back (and a hopeful look forward) at what it really means to take care of yourself as you get older (and maybe a little wiser...hopefully).

About your host
Hi everyone! I'm a 42-year-old navigating life in Ogden, Utah, and the world of higher education administration. This podcast is my first foray into the wild world of audio adventures, and I'm excited to share stories, laughs, and a healthy dose of "embracing the gray hairs" with all of you. When I'm not behind the mic, you'll find me hanging out with my amazing wife, Alex, our two teenagers, and our two adorable (and slightly slobbery) pit bulls. Let's normalize aging together, one episode at a time!
