We talk to author and activist Mia Birdsong about building meaningful community, the vulnerability required to find friends in midlife, how a culture of toxic individualism is making us lonely, and more from her book, "How We Show Up: Reclaiming Family, Friendship, and Community." Also: Kim and Jenn discuss tattoos as self-care, the best hand cream, and why it's imperative we try new things as we age. Don't forget: We have a Patreon!
