Women creating meaning in later life

In this episode, the second in our series about creating meaning in later life, you’ll hear two wise older women - Marion Ragaliauskas & Pam Winter - in conversation, as they explore the experience of women transitioning into later life. What’s similar for women in this phase of life compared to men? And crucially, what’s different for women?

As older women, both Marion and Pam are practicing and living their own inner work of aging, which brings into play areas as loss, review, evaluation and re-imagining: exploring the letting go of who we once were and learning how to embrace and experiment with who we are becoming, or could become.

A great reflection for anyone going through or approaching this stage of life, or if you want to understand more about it, or if you are helping others to go through it.
