Show notes

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul inspiration and today we’re talking about hot flashes and hot cars, and how they totally go together. These stories are from our new book about how age is just a number, because you’re only as old as you act, right? Well, that’s how it works if you have the right attitude. And it helps to have a sense of humor, because things do change. There’s gravity, and smaller print, and tighter jars. But there’s also new freedom and a sense of liberation from a lot of things that you don’t have to do anymore. And that’s when you get to do new things, maybe things you’ve been dreaming of for a long time.
