Have you ever caught your reflection, noticed a new grey hair or a random ache, and felt that sudden wave of existential dread about where the time has gone?

In this episode of But Are You Happy, hosts Ashani Dante and Dr. Anastasia Hronis unpack the physical realities of ageing, explore how death anxiety fuels our worries, and share healthier ways to relate to the passage of time.

You’ll also learn:
Why your biological age doesn’t always match how old you feel
How to slow the “quickening” of time by breaking out of rigid routines
How to acknowledge and process the quiet grief of outgrowing your younger self
Ways to find perspective and empowerment by connecting with your elders
