The Fight Against Time: Aging, Culture & Why We're Obsessed with Stopping The Clock

Time is undefeated but how we measure it, fight it, and flow with it depends on where we come from.From Swiss punctuality to Miami “5 minutes,” from Indigenous cycles to Scandinavian survival, this episode of Fluent AF explores how cultures bend the clock and how we try to Botox, filler, and filter our way out of aging.Language plays its part too: English says we “waste” or “kill” time, Spanish lets it pass, French invites us to take it. The words we use literally frame how we live, and how we see our faces change in the mirror.Join me for Episode 9: The Fight Against Time; where culture, language, and a little Miami glow meet.
