Tip of the Day: 01.02.2022

Wisdom from Cheryl Strayed, author of ‘Wild’ (made into a gripping movie starring Reese Witherspoon). ‘My small contribution to combating age shame is that all my life, I’ve disregarded the ridiculous idea that it’s rude to ask someone, especially a woman, how old they are. I go out of my way to state my age in conversation often, and I don’t hesitate to ask others how old they are, too. Normalising transparency about age is my way of attempting to eradicate a stigma that shouldn’t exist.’
