My “No More” List: 4 Things I’m Done Doing After 60

What are you just done doing?

Not trying to improve. Not putting it on next year's list. I mean done.

At 64, I've realized there are a few things I'm ready to leave behind: apologizing for taking up space, saving the good perfume, shrinking to make other people comfortable, and saying, “I'm too old for that.”

In this episode of Aging with Grace and Style, we're talking about the confidence that can come with getting older and recognizing what no longer deserves to come with us. Because for women over 60, aging isn't just about what we add to our lives. Sometimes it's about finally giving ourselves permission to let a few things go.

And here's the twist: underneath every “no more” is actually a yes to something better.
