  • A Contemplation On Youth, Aging, and Mortality With Jamey & Liz

    A Contemplation On Youth, Aging, and Mortality With Jamey & Liz
    Mar 25 2024
    Do you feel your age? At what point did we decide that aging isn't beautiful? In this special episode of the Man Enough Podcast, Jamey and Liz explore the profound truths about aging and mortality. Jamey shares a recent chilling plane experience that made him face his own mortality, leading to a broader discussion on life's fragility. Our hosts also delve into the deep-seated societal norms and stigmas that shadow our journey into older age, dissecting the role of patriarchal structures in shaping these perceptions, including a candid conversation about the increasing normalization of Botox. From embracing the raw beauty of getting older to the unending pursuit of personal growth and understanding, this episode is an invitation to reflect on our own attitudes towards aging and the critical importance of living each day with gratitude and bravery. Timecodes: (00:00) Liz and Jamey are back (3:28) Do you feel your age? (6:36) Jamey’s plane experience encountering his own mortality (14:00) Feeling the age you are supposed to be (15:15) Getting botox (18:00) Societal pressure when aging for women VS men (25:00) Liz’ recent challenges (33:00) The ways younger generations are impacted by social media Quotes: "The younger that I look, then I'm farther away from that island that eventually is my demise or my birth, depending on how you look at it." Jamey "I think that it's a luxury and it's a privilege, but I don't feel the age that I'm supposed to be. Like I feel like I have this millennial imposter syndrome that a lot of people in my generation have where-- You don't feel the age you're supposed to be." Liz "When did that happen? Has that always been the case? Are our kids nowadays going like, 'I don't wanna look older because then I lose my value?" Jamey "We wanna hold on to our youth. I understand we wanna look good and all that stuff. At what point did we determine that getting older is not beautiful?"

Must listen. Then subscribe and share.

This is the podcast that we've been waiting for. First came the Man Enough web series which consisted of a round table of men discussing some of the topics that made them feel most vulnerable. This transitioned into a limited run podcast during quarantine.

Earlier this year Justin Baldoni shared a very honest and vulnerable look into his own Journey of undefining his masculinity in his debut book, Man Enough. (Available almost everywhere so pick up a copy or three, because it makes a great gift.)
This podcast continues that journey. Justin Baldoni along with Liz Plank and Jamey Heath make space for open and honest conversations with each other and their guests as they explore various issues surrounding masculinity and what it means to be Man Enough.

This is a must listen for all. I encourage everyone to listen even when it is uncomfortable and grow through the process.
