Silver Threads: Celebrating the accumulation of our lives
In this episode we talk with the famous + talented author + trailblazer, Patricia Lynn Reilly about women-affirming actions, words and realities. We talk about reclaiming our lives, images and bodies as our own while dismantling the patriarchy, one revolutionary act at a time. Patricia Lynn brings her beautiful work to us to highlight the power of personal sovereignty in a society that pressures us to look perpetually young while ignoring (silencing?) the challenges and triumphs of our years. How is it that “aging naturally” is still revolutionary for women while men gain status and power as they age? Strong women, it is time we thought about aging differently. It’s time we honoured and celebrated the accumulation of our years and wisdom! Patricia Lynn Reilly, M.Div..
