What if getting older isn’t about fighting to stay visible…

What if it’s about becoming better at seeing everyone else?

In this episode, Heather covers:

• Returning to Auckland more than 20 years after a life-changing moment
• How the way we’re seen changes as we get older
• What replaces youth as our introduction to the world
• Why getting older doesn’t mean becoming invisible
• The small ways we can make other people feel noticed and valued
• Why being seen might start with seeing others

Maybe staying visible isn’t about holding onto who we used to be.

Maybe it’s about noticing the people around us – making eye contact, saying hello, asking questions and making sure they know they still matter.

Because getting older doesn’t mean disappearing.

Turns out… one of the best ways to feel seen might be to make someone else feel seen too.
