I think it's good to be aware that we're still alive. Even though it feels like maybe we're on the downward slope, we are technically still alive.
Turning 50 is no small feat, and in this episode of the Voices In Recovery Podcast, David Lewry and Darcy sit down to reflect on the milestone. They discuss everything from the personal changes that come with aging to the broader societal issues that weigh on their minds. You'll hear them candidly talk about grief, loss, and the ongoing struggles in our world, including police violence and racism.
They also touch on the unsettling feeling that society is teetering on the edge of a catastrophic event. The conversation is raw and heartfelt, filled with moments of introspection and honest reflection. David shares his thoughts on how his views have evolved over the years, especially around topics like nationalism and self-acceptance. He wishes he could tell his younger self to embrace who he was sooner and to address past traumas earlier.
Darcy chimes in with her own experiences, adding depth to the discussion. They both agree that turning 50 brings a unique perspective, one that encourages more listening and less talking.
