In this bonus Patch, Christian and Josh slow things down for a conversation about ageing, health, and the small changes that quietly sneak up on you.
Josh shares the moment he noticed his first static forehead wrinkle - a line that wouldn’t budge, no matter what face he pulled. What followed was a gentle spiral: Is this what ageing looks like? Can you exercise away a furrowed brow? And why does noticing change often feel like catching yourself in the mirror for the first time?
From there, we explore shifting priorities, physical niggles that no longer go away, and the psychological hurdle of getting started. Is going for a walk enough? Does exercise only count when you pay for it? And why do so many of us overthink simple routines like journaling, even when we know they make us feel better?
We also reflect on the things that are actually going well. Can you trace happiness back to its source? Should you make space in your week to feel grateful - or just notice it in the moment?
