“We're very ambitious when we're young, and we think that achieving all our goals will make us super satisfied. Well, we're wrong about that. Ambition just keeps moving the goalposts." @jon_rauch (from ep. 6 of TTTN, link in bio)

@McJesse I've been enjoying Beyond Belief, the surprisingly journalistic podcast about esoteric beliefs. It's on @wmnmedia. I also love The Last Bohemians, and then, of course, there's my show for feminists @theneedlepod

What’s a podcast that ISN’T HUGE, maybe one you stumbled upon, that you feel deserves more listeners.

@chandlerlou @schillcleveland Thanks that would be great!

@schillcleveland @theneedlepod Hey Donna, fun topic! I'm working with a holistic female specialist who works with older ladies to help them (especially as they progress through life stages like the menopause) - I'll find out if she can share her observations on ladies in their 80s :)

For my next podcast episode (@theneedlepod), I'm looking at why women's happiness levels peak in their mid-80s. DM me if you're an expert on the topic! #journorequests
