I Asked a 72 Year Old Woman About Her Biggest Regret in Life

At 72, Joanna says her biggest regret is never confronting her father while she still had the chance. This is the very first episode of Wisdom of the Ages - a brand new British interview series sharing the stories, experiences and life lessons of older people. In this conversation, Joanna talks about: • Losing her mother at just 19 • Becoming widowed while her children were still young • Why she spent so much of her life trying to please other people • Learning to finally say no and set boundaries • Grief, resilience and simply “getting on with it” • Why older people can start to feel invisible • What being 72 actually feels like • The conversation she wishes she’d had with her father before he died Joanna is also host Oli Corse's godmother, making her a particularly personal guest to begin the series with. 🌳 WISDOM OF THE AGES In every episode, a guest draws cards at random from the Box of Wisdom and answers questions about life, love, loss and everything in between. Hosted by Oli Corse. New episodes every week.
