    Joanna Gaines realizes aging at 46

    • Joanna Gaines opened up about aging and letting go in a new interview with Drew Barrymore.
    • “I’ve learned, especially as I’ve gotten older, that it’s so much more fun to let go,” she said.
    • The life lesson she shared is powerful.

    In a recent episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, Joanna Gainesher husband Chip and Barrymore herself gathered around the talk show’s coffee table to discuss aging. Joanna, in particular, talked about how she learned to “let go” of all the things that are holding her back as she gets older.

    Barrymore began: “I think the pressure is so self-imposed, and I’m starting to let go a little bit. And I didn’t know how to let go. I’m like a white-knuckled monkey’s claw: nothing will come out of this grip.

    Joanna laughed and admitted that she too was a planner and a perfectionist. “I feel like my whole life has been, ‘How can I predict?’ How can I control? I don’t want any surprises,” she explained, which can apply to everything from one of her many renovation and design projects to the random surprises that aging brings, like fine lines, energy changes or bodily changes. “I’ve learned, especially as I’ve gotten older, that it’s so much more fun to let go,” she shared.

    The Magnolia Network host added that, yes, her impulse to control has proven helpful in being organized and successful, but, she’s learned, that’s not what matters most. “Ultimately, when I look back, I want to remember these moments,” she said. “I want to remember that I enjoyed them. Like, back then, I wouldn’t move forward unless everything was aligned and it was perfect…but what I learned along the way is that you just have to move forward. Then I feel like I can really do anything.

    With years of experience under her belt and Chip’s support, she’s not as afraid of the unexpected as she used to be. “If I fail, guess what? I will learn. I will be better next time,” she said. “So for me, it’s just, I love this idea: We have to move forward. Put aside the comparison. Put aside fear and anxiety – all those things. Because these are real things, but if you start moving forward – I always imagine it like falling on my back… that’s the power. That’s what gets you to the next place.

    It’s advice that seems simple, but takes a lifetime to learn for many of us. That’s why Joanna wrote a children’s book about it called The world needs who you are made to be. In 2020, she shared a childhood photo and reflect on the journey we have taken.

    “The older I get, the more I realize how much time I spent believing the lie that who I was wasn’t good enough. I find myself fighting to get all this time back,” she wrote. “I hope you find the courage to embrace all of you – all of your quirks, all of your beauty, all of your genius – because the world needs YOU. »
