Dr. Frieda Birnbaum – It’s not how old you are, it’s how you are old

There’s a TV ad that shows a woman looking straight at the camera and saying, “Age is a number, and mine’s unlisted.” She has the right idea. Focusing on our age and one day deciding we’re too old does nothing but limit our opportunities and possibilities for exciting great things to come into our lives.
One woman who also believes that age shouldn’t hold us back is Dr. Frieda Birnbaum. Besides being a noted psychologist and expert on family dynamics, Dr. Frieda holds the record of being the oldest woman in America to give birth to twins. She practices what she preaches, that age should never be a barrier to following your dreams. On this episode, Dr. Frieda tells us:
• Why she decided to have children when she was 60
• Don’t let age doesn’t define you
• How to balance work, children and self-care
• How to take advantage of the possibilities for older women now that weren’t available a generation ago
• How to get excited about growing older
• What shoes have to say about your age
• How to deal with the double standards about age that still affect women
It used to be said that ‘life begins at 40’. But if you want to see why the new standard should be ‘life begins at 60’, don’t miss this powerful episode of Dream Power Radio.
