Midlife keeps handing us reminders that nothing lasts forever — friends getting sick, peers passing, bodies changing. Instead of spiraling into gloom, this episode explores the playful side of impermanence through Memento Mori, Vanitas, and Wabi-Sabi.

We talk about the difference between “decaying” and “growing old,” how our ephemeral lives make the crème brûlée taste sweeter, the snow angels more joyful, and the wild nights more memorable.

It’s a tender, cheeky invitation to stop waiting for the perfect life and start loving the temporary, imperfect, ridiculously beautiful one we have right now.

Because if everything is fleeting, we might as well make it meaningful — and fun.
