Would You Rather? — The Midlife Edition
A Girlish Gurus Conversation with Joy & Lorraine Would you rather have the body you had at 30—or the confidence you have now? Would you rather look 10 years younger—or feel 10 years younger? And here's the big one: Would you rather go back to age 30 knowing everything you know now…or stay exactly where you are today? In this episode of Girlish Gurus, there’s no guest and no expert—just Joy and Lorraine putting each other on the spot with a hilarious, revealing, and sometimes surprisingly meaningful game of Would You Rather: The Midlife Edition! And there’s one rule: You HAVE to choose! From Silly to Surprisingly Deep We start with the fun stuff—wrinkles, gray hair, fabulous shoes, massages, travel, dessert, and sleep—but the conversation quickly moves into some of the bigger questions that come with getting older. Would you choose more money or more free time? Would you rather have unlimited energy or never feel stressed again? Would you want to know exactly how long you'll live? Would you erase your biggest mistake—or keep it because of everything it taught you? And would you rather be remembered for what you accomplished or for how you made people feel? Joy and Lorraine share their answers, defend their choices, and discover that a simple game of “Would You Rather?” can reveal a lot about what matters to us as we move through midlife. In This Episode, We Talk About: Aging, confidence and body image • Friendship and relationships in midlife • Travel, adventure and making memories • Healthspan versus lifespan • Caring less about what other people think • Money versus time • Mistakes, regrets and life lessons • The wisdom that comes with getting older • What we would tell our younger selves • Why we might not actually want to be 25 again! And, of course, there are plenty of laughs along the way. Plus: Joy or Lorraine? We finish with a rapid-fire round to find out which Girlish Guru is more likely to: Overpack for a trip? Talk to a complete stranger? Order dessert? Try a bizarre wellness trend? Break a rule? Get everyone onto the dance floor? And survive longer on a deserted island? You may think you know Joy and Lorraine—but you might be surprised! Play Along With Us! Don't just listen—answer the questions yourself! Better yet, grab a girlfriend, partner, or group of friends and play along together. Some of the silliest questions can lead to the most meaningful conversations.
