Sari Botton, editor of Oldster Magazine, explores what it means to travel through time in a human body—of any gender, at every phase of life. It focuses on the good, the bad, and the ugly we experience with each milestone, starting early in life. It’s about the experience of getting older, and what that means at different junctures.
Remember when you were about to turn 20, and it was a big, scary deal? Or 30? Or 40? Remember the first time you realized that moving into a new phase of life—graduating, getting married, becoming a parent, getting a major promotion, retiring—meant that you would be leaving behind another phase of life? Join Sari and Jessica as they talk about how we all navigate these changes. Interviewed by Jessica Handler
