1h 1m
Identical twins Cynthia Heyd and Leslie White, 64, are the founders of Twinagers, an online community using social media to help flip the script on aging. They share frank discussions on the challenges of getting older while also celebrating real-life stories of women embracing their wisdom and power as they age. Join us as we talk to Cynthia and Leslie about the call they felt to start their community, why there’s more to aging than menopause, their viral magic hour theory on aging, what happens after the “retirement honeymoon,” how they keep fit, embracing purpose with a small ‘p’, and why their relationship with their kids is so different from the ones they had with their own parents.
