Shiv and Sim talk about regrets that older adults have had as determined through Cornell's Legacy Project, a project in which over 1000 older adults were interviewed for their "practical advice for living", and to "share the most important lessons they have learned over the course of their lives". They discuss one of the main insights from the project and whether or not they agree. Join us this week and let us know what your regrets are. We'd love to explore further!

Episode 24: Do our personalities change over time?

Sim has a bit of a crisis this week as an old friend of hers tells her that Sim has changed significantly since her 20s, something with which Sim vehemently disagrees! Sim still feels like her hippy, new-age self, even though she has nicely transitioned into the corporate world. But, as Shiv points out, the number of scented candles one buys, does not a hippy make, especially when one doesn't even check their own horoscope anymore! They discuss ways in which their personalities have changed over time, and ways in which they've noticed their loved ones' personalities shift with age. Will Sim learn to love the ways in which she has changed? Tune in this week to find out!
