Today, we talk about aging with Erica Manfred of The Snarky Senior.

I met the wonderful Erica Manfred in a Zoom for Substack mentees a few weeks ago.

I loved the concept of her newsletter, The Snarky Senior, in large part because the writing kicks ass, but also partially due to my own insecurity about aging.

I first asked her for advice on aging for myself (!!), and then received this question on CuriousCat:

I'm about to turn 29 and am terrified about soon being 30. I feel like it's the last year of my life and as soon as I turn 30 I will stop having any value to society.

She very generously answered, via what she would have told her younger self, had she had the chance.
