Join this incredible power-hour as we discover ways to improve our brain’s future! Welcoming special guests, Emily Clionsky, MDandMitchell Clionsky, PhD, authors of the new book DEMENTIA PREVENTION: Using Your Head to Save Your Brain(Hopkins Press, April 4, 2023). And their message is a clear one – dementia is not inevitable! Furthermore, it is preventable in 1 out of 2 people! But that isn’t just their opinion, their work is deeply steeped in research.

Drs. Clionsky, a physician and neuropsychologist couple have cared for their own parents with dementia, and talk about ways to improve your brain's future, many of which may seem surprising. From vitamins, to your activities, social infrastructure, even mental outlooks, and even how you breathe while you sleep and so much more can play a significant role in how dementia may impact our lives.

In fact, in Dementia Prevention: Using Your Head to Save Your Brain, they share 20 factors that impact dementia risk, including 17 that are changeable in adulthood as well as proven psychological methods to change your habits and health to alter your brain’s future. They educate us on the various types of dementia and clear up some confusion we may have on this topic. But in this episode, they also offer a cliff-notes and layman’s understanding of what exactly is happening when dementia takes hold, allowing us to better understand how we can utilize our stakeholder opportunity to circumvent its potential onset.

But this neuropsychologist team also focuses on areas often overlooked such as hearing, vision, and the many health factors such as blood pressure, exercise and sugar levels that are important to be aware of as it relates to dementia. They echo a welcoming sense of empowerment for everyone, even those who may have a genetic predisposition for dementia, to take control and change several risk factors in their favor.

Together, they have treated more than 25,000 patients with cognitive impairment and are responsible for developing the Memory Orientation Screening Test (MOST), which has been used by hundreds of doctors. DEMENTIA PREVENTION: Using Your Head to Save Your Brainis the culmination of 45 years of extensive clinical evaluation and treatment. It brings together proven science from a wide spectrum of medical specialties -- ones that often do not talk to one another or read the others’ research. Drs. Emily and Mitchell Clionsky skip the fads, the unsupported claims of advertised products, and fringe theories.

Emily Clionsky, MD is an internal medicine doctor with 25 years of experience and is a Diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. She has treated thousands of patients with memory loss at her private practice. Mitchell Clionsky, PhD is a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist with 45 years of experience evaluating and treating patients with cognitive impairment, dementia, ADHD, and traumatic brain injury.

Have you ever wondered what makes life worthwhile? In this Aging GreatFULLy power-hour we take a deep dive into exploring what gives life meaning–in simple, yet powerful ways—that result in life enrichment and transformation. Welcoming special guest and author of the perfect new book for this conversation, A Worthwhile Life: How to Find Meaning, Build Connection, and Cultivate Purpose, Michael Westover.

Westover helps us understand the distinction between the purpose of life and the meaningof life.

Michael Westover looked in the mirror one day and wondered what the point of it was. He had a successful career in health care, a stable family, and great friendships. Yet, he felt aimless. His life was full—meetings to further his career, hours of TV, activities with his children—but was it worthwhile? Westover wondered why countless people coasted through life as he had, feeling lost and disconnected, while others approached each day feeling worthy and valuable.

He wanted answers. But also, He wanted to feel worthwhile. So, he embarked on a journey for insight. But Westover didn’t just look to the modern era for clues to solve this question…he dug through centuries of research and set out on a philosophical passage to find connection and meaning. What he discovered significantly changed the way he lives his life! He learned that living a life that matters is simpler than we may imagine! And following five types of commitment that are research-proven to give life more meaning, we can all build a worthwhile life and avoid the cycle of distractions.

Westover gives advice from being a good neighbor, human steward or even what to do when life becomes overwhelming. He discusses the value of belief in a higher source, spirituality, faith or religion and how those practices can tether and build a sense of belonging and community as well as foster positive individual ideals. He answers the question as to whether its better to have a happy life or a meaningful life and why and even what a meaningful life looks life as we grow older. He discusses the power of nature, the importance of leaving your comfort zone, how to break out of a slump and so much more!

From beginning to end, Westover shares wisdom, philosophy, stories and cites sources that educate, inspire and enlighten us towards better understanding A Worthwhile Life!

Michael Westover is a writer, speaker, health care industry executive and graduate of the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. Westover’s website, www.echoesofmeaning.com, is a collection of more than 30 articles about human connection, including articles of family, business, religion, and self-improvement. Many of his pieces attempt to look at ancient truths from new angles to make them applicable to modern life. When he is not writing, you can find him coaching one of his kids’ teams, hiking in the Columbia River Gorge, or wakeboarding when it’s nice outside and snowboarding when it’s not. You can learn more about his work, connect with him and purchase his book, A Worthwhile Life, by visiting him at www.echoesofmeaning.com.

In this Aging GreatFULLy power-hour, we welcome Stanford School of Medicine professor, physician, best-selling author, mindfulness expert, and innovator of the GAIN method, Greg Hammer, MD. Join us as Dr. Hammer shares wisdom to GAIN Keys to Nonjudgment and discover the life-enhancing rewards that begin to arise in your life.

Most of us admirably strive to be “nonjudgmental” towards others. Coming from a place of nonjudgment allows us to see the best in others without letting our own biases get in the way. However, in order to become less judgmental, we need to change how we think about ourselves and the world around us.

Dr. Hammer illustrates how we often make quick judgments every day about everything we see and put these things into categories, such as healthy/ unhealthy, affordable/ expensive, and good/ bad. And how much more often do we make judgments about ourselves?

Discover the many benefits of nonjudgement, tips for implementing it into your life and learn how mindfulness, or living in the present moment, gives us the space to practice nonjudgment. First, we acknowledge how often we judge and that it is not necessary to judge. Then we can practice living in the present and accepting the world, ourselves, and others as they are. It's an enlightening hour from beginning to end as we learn about the benefits of nonjudgement, the problems that arise from judgement and realize how simple tactics of mindfulness can lead the way to a healthier and happier life.

Greg Hammer, MD is a Professor at Stanford University School of Medicine, pediatric intensive care physician, pediatric anesthesiologist, mindfulness expert, and the author of GAIN without Pain: The Happiness Handbook for Health Care Professionals. A member of the Stanford WellMD initiative, Dr. Hammer is currently the Chair of the Physician Wellness Task Force for the California Society of Anesthesiologists. He has been a visiting professor and lecturer on wellness at institutions worldwide and teaches GAIN to medical students, residents, and fellows at Stanford. Dr. Hammer’s clinical focus is in pediatric cardiac anesthesia and pediatric critical care medicine. His research is in developmental pharmacology and immunology, and he has an active laboratory with multiple ongoing studies in these areas. He has published widely on topics related to pharmacology and perioperative care of children undergoing cardiac and thoracic procedures as well as organ transplantation. Dr. Hammer is a health enthusiast and meditator, utilizing a non-duality and mindfulness-based approach, including the GAIN method. For more information, to purchase his book, GAIN without Pain, or connect with Dr. Hammer, visit him at www.GregHammerMD.com.

What’s your story? It may seem difficult to to summarize but nobody is better prepared to tell the story that is truly yours than YOURS TRULY!

Today’s guest, James R. Hagerty, joins the Aging GreatFULLy power-hour with a special message for listeners: Someday, the story of your life will be written. The only question is how well will it be written and how will you define the meaning of your amazing life? Will it inspire others today and into the future to live more fully? What would you say about the unique journey of becoming you?

As The Wall Street Journal’s only obituary writer, James R. Hagerty, has spent his professional life summing up the meaning of a life and capturing the final story for many. As a result, he has written a book, YOURS TRULY: An Obituary Writer’s Guide to Telling Your Story, to help readers preserve their best stories. He believes doing so may be the best gift you ever give to your family and friends. However, he also shares the side benefit in reviewing your life story and measuring your life before someone else does it for you, prompts us to think about life’s different paths and sudden twists. The takeaway is often discovering there’s still time for new adventures and opportunities to rewrite your script.

Hagerty has written hundreds of obituaries about the famous, the should-have-been-famous, the infamous, notable, and little-known. He’s gifted in the ability to sum up a life’s glorious highs and lows, and goes straight to the heart of what it was all about. We uncover how everyone can apply Hagerty’s skills as an obit writer to examining their own life while still living it!

Tune in as we discuss his recently released book, YOURS TRULY: An Obituary Writer’s Guide to Telling Your Story, a heartfelt and reassuring guide, with Hagerty leading you to find the extraordinary in your ordinary – the pivotal moments, the failures, the incredible, the beautiful, and the painful points that go into every life, and makes yours unique. You’ll discover that the highs and the lows, the disappointments and the small, quiet, beautiful moments, make up who you are. Looking at your life story so far is a spirited exercise that often leads to surprising places and in many cases, transformative experiences.

Over the past four decades, James R. Hagerty has worked as a reporter, editor and bureau chief for the WSJ and the International Herald Tribune in Hong Kong, London, Brussels, Paris, Atlanta and New York. He holds a degree in economics from the University of North Dakota. To learn more about his work or purchase his book, YOURS TRULY, visit him at http://yours-truly.jamesrhagerty.com/.

In this Aging GreatFULLy power-hour as we bid farewell to fall and welcome the coming season of winter, we put the spotlight on celebrating transitions! Join this enriching hour as we welcome special guest, Cheryl Richardson, a New York Times bestselling author and self-care expert whose latest work is an audio release, Self-Care for the Wisdom Years: Practical Ways to Celebrate the Mystery and Wonder of Aging. During the hustle and bustle of this season and as the year comes to a close, this is a timely conversation. Cheryl shares how self-care is the key to a rich and joyous experience of aging and invites listeners to find inspiration in the changes and challenges of aging – and create a more authentic, soul-directed life.
Cheryl’s work has been covered on Good Morning America, the Today Show, CBS This Morning and many more. She was the team leader for the Lifestyle Makeover Series on The Oprah Winfrey Show and joined Ms. Winfrey on the “Live Your Best Life” nationwide tour. Her books include Take Time for Your Life, The Art of Extreme Self-Care, How to Survive the Loss of a Pet, The Unmistakable Touch of Grace, Life Makeover and several others. Her latest book is Waking Up in Winter: In Search of What Really Matters at Midlife.
But she was inspired to transition from pen to microphone with her latest audio creation. Cheryl’s wisdom is rich with inspiring practices to honor the experiences of growing older while finding meaningful ways to get the most out of life. She invites her readers and listeners to look at aging through the lens of what is gained verses what is lost. She heeds the importance of finding the freedom to cultivate deeper, more meaningful experiences of life. “The journey through mid-life and beyond,” says Cheryl Richardson, “is when we make the shift from less ego to more soul.”
Through six audio sessions, Cheryl offers teachings, tools, journaling exercises, and guided practices towards discovering the opportunities and gifts of our later years. She discusses energy drains and ways to become more aware of and efficient about our vitality, the importance of investing in authentic connections, how to awaken aliveness and she uncovers her most valuable insights towards aging consciously, to flourish as a wise and compassionate elder. Listeners will so appreciate the invitation to rejoice in the beauty of aging by cultivating presence, pushing comfort zones, practicing meditation and even building the skill of sitting with space.

In this Aging GreatFuLLy power hour we welcome the invitation to bring our visions to reality and tap into our leadership abilities to create the future we aspire! With special guest, Reiner Lomb, Author of ASPIRE: Seven Essential Emotions for Leading Positive Change, No Matter Where You Are, we discover that each of us has special abilities and talents to inch us towards our aspirations and we’re not checking our emotions at the door! Reiner is Founder of BoomerangCoach, an executive coaching firm specializing in leadership and career development, innovation and transformational change whose mission is to mobilize and develop leaders to create a more sustainable future for all.
Reiner reminds us that we all have the capacity to lead towards positive change and shares how this is an important contributor to achieving what we want most out of life. Reiner believes emotions play a key role in creating change and shares a variety of ways the seven critical emotions help towards leadership roles as well as achieving goals, dreams and aspirations.
It’s a must-listen hour as we begin with asking listeners what they would do if a Genie magically showed up in their life! But if you couldn’t answer that then, by the end of the hour, you’ll have plenty of inspirational ideas to get you motivated towards your aspirations.
We talk about changes as we grow older, feeling like we’re no longer worthy or capable of change and even how we may feel challenged to define our dreams over and through the years. But there’s a few key phrases in this episode that speak to everyone, “No Matter Where You Are” and “Resilience”. In this, we are reminded that while we may not know the answers or feel challenged to identify them, Aging Rebels always find a way.
And that’s another message in this episode, as Lomb feels “Your inspiration to create inspirational change may come from your dissatisfaction from the status quo, joyful anticipation of an aspirational new future, or a new insight. To create such a vision and bring it into reality requires an emotional shift from hopelessness to optimism and inspiration, which then can mobilize any group – from dozens to millions.” We spotlight purpose and passion as an important component throughout life and certainly as we grow older. And we acknowledge even when we may not have a voice like we once did, we may still be able to be heard through our emotional connections, delivered heart to heart.

In this Aging GreatFULLy power-hour, we continue with part two of our last conversation talking about grief, healing, love and even light after loss, as we welcome special guest, Ashley Davis Bush, LICSW. Ashley has over thirty years of experience as a psychotherapist in private practice and is the author of ten self-help books, including her most recent work, Light After Loss: A Spiritual Guide for Comfort, Hope and Healing. She is trained in EMDR trauma work, as well as Emotionally Focused Therapy, is a Reiki master and a spiritual director who draws on many healing modalities.
Listeners will appreciate the depth and tenderness this conversation offers as we welcome them into the light – and discuss so many important facets of grieving experiences we face in life – including why it is so important to grieve and how grieving has changed over the years. We expand on our last conversation furthering ways we can support others during their grieving journey and even defining our own terms of how we need to grieve.
We talk about expectations of others when it comes to grief and even judgement regarding the grieving process and how we can educate others around us when we are in this place as to what we need for the grieving process. We acknowledge that while grief won’t have an expiration date, we can begin the process of healing through light – recognizing our own illuminating from within and as our guest shares in her work and book, Light After Loss, through Light-Shift practices. We focus on a multitude of ways to make meaning out of loss, to celebrate our loved ones, especially during the holidays and special anniversary occasions when we might feel especially heartbroken in the depths of bereavement – to bring them closer to us and warm our heart and soul with love.
Listeners will truly appreciate the wisdom-packed hour as we analyze grief from so many different perspectives in an effort to help everyone better understand it towards healing, hope and finding purpose to live in the light again following the loss of a loved one so dear. We discover it is through picking up the pieces of our broken heart a little at a time, while honoring our loved one along the way, somehow light finds its way in. Because love is light and it can slowly open the doorway to a new way of living again after loss.
To learn more about Ashley Davis Bush, purchase her book, Light after Loss, or her class books, Transcending Loss, and The Little Book of Inner Peace, and many more, access her blog, inquire about her counseling services and more, visit her at www.ashleydavisbush.com.

In this Aging GreatFULLy power-hour we begin a two-part series on an important topic most of us face at some point in our lives – coping with grief and being prepared for end-of-life. However, we begin the hour talking about some of your favorite TV shows, because on the Aging GreatFULLy show, we’re never cookie cutter! But you’ll soon understand why… as we do make our way to explore several kinds of grief, including the challenging emotions we may be left with after experiencing the loss of a loved one.
Host Holley Kelley shares how we often end up replaying all those challenging post-death emotions of regret, resentment and remorse through what she calls our “Wouldas, Shouldas and Couldas” renderings. But this Ground Hog Day replay we subject ourselves to can also often prevent us from moving forward to live our best life and experiencing healthy grieving – good grief.
We talk about how grief can come in many varieties and discuss the challenges many have in knowing how to deal with their own grief journey and how to support others who are grieving too. Kelley takes us through the hour as we look at grief from a variety of angles and experiences.
Kelley also is a huge advocate of advance care and end-of-life planning as an EOL consultant. She is author of the Amazon #1 Release, National and International Multi-award winning book, Sunrises and Sunsets: Final Affairs Forged with Flair, Finesse and FUNctionality, that has helped readers around the world plan for the end and inspire their GRAND new beginning with her novel approach to living fully while being thoughtfully prepared. Her book is available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble or visit www.HolleyKelley.com for autographed copies. Listen to this episode for a special and limited promo code she shares.
In summary, Kelley invites listeners to consider special ways to upcycle their grief to celebrate their loved ones – something she calls Quilting Good Grief© with a “Good Grief Quilt Patch”©. We discover, through remaining centered in the love and energy inspired by and through our loved ones passed, our heart is encouraged towards healing, hope and transcendence, one stitch or deed at a time.

In this Aging GreatFULLy power-hour we invite you to bask in the Fountain of YOU-th! That’s right, come gather around for this conversation all about YOU, destressing, healthy, AGEless living and self-care strategies for your mind, body and soul with returning guest, one of the world’s most noted beauty and wellness experts to the supermodels and superstars, Gregory Landsman. Gregory is a best-selling author of nine-books and the TV Host of Face Lifting Food – a show about how to use food to lower stress and maintain healthy, younger looking skin, shown in universities, wellness centers and in more than 70 countries worldwide.
Join us for a conversation beyond beauty, as Gregory speaks to the essence of seeing one another with our heart. As he says, it’s beyond the skin and not “hard work, but heart work”. The conversation flows effortlessly as only it can with Gregory Landsman because he is passionate about his work and believes that “How you age is in your hands.” You will LOVE his acronym for BEAUTY!
We talk about the external messages we’re receiving about growing older from the greater world from a variety of sources and how we may be internalizing them, including how they may be wearing us down. But we also discuss what we should “say back” to these messages once we acknowledge them.
Gregory believes that Mother Nature has provided what we need to provide self-care and natural remedies for skin care. And his books highlight his processes beautifully as he shares how to reduce stress and skin stress naturally (one of the greatest causes of premature skin aging) to naturally age less while embracing every beautiful stAGE along life’s way.
But we also talk about the Fountain of YOU-th, in that Fountains spring forth life and vitality. Every fountain is beautiful and YOUnique. And we believe this to be true about every Aging Rebel. And the Fountain of Youth itself represented the great quest for youth. And as such, we love that Aging Rebels are dedicated to seizing and bubbling up their own child-like wonder in their curious and ongoing zest for life! And much like a fountain, Aging Rebels possess an enthusiastic approach to living, inspiring others through being great Role Models. Much like a fountain offers abundance, we also speak to the many special and important gifts and wisdom every listener has within them to share with the world around them at every stAGE!
We focus on Gregory Landsman’s best-selling trilogy, Face Fitness, Face Food and Face Value, a dynamic work he has created that provides readers with a solution to transform the health of their skin naturally as we take a deep dive into the challenges many encounter with their internal thoughts, perceptions and even fears about growing older – even from a very young age.
As a sought-after expert who has worked in the beauty and fashion industry for over 30 years, Gregory has developed his own GL De-stress and AGE Less method. Based on ancient modalities that have been used for thousands of years, his techniques are proven, endorsed and science based. They have been used by the global beauty industry for years to teach models how to de-stress their bodies and skin. But Gregory believes everyone should have affordable access to this type of self-care.

In this Aging GreatFULLy power-hour we go gratitude mode with a surprising twist in Stroke of Gratitude with our special guest all the way from Singapore, welcoming Aanandha Sharurajah, for a reflective, inspiring and educational conversation everyone will treasure.
Aanandha is the author of the just released book, Stroke of Gratitude: How to Find Truth, Love, and Happiness in Healing After Health Crisis. And he didn’t just write the book, he lived the experience and continues to every single day. He joins us to share a story of inspiration. A Journey of Grit; Moments of despair and times of great challenge. He knows what it feels like look back upon a life that once was and realize it won’t ever be the same again.
Aanandha joins us to share his story of overcoming unbelievable adversity but most of all how he chose to take what had happened to him and manifest it for the greater good not only in his own life but for the world at large.
In one moment, Aanandha Sharurajah was CEO of one of the largest wellness companies in Singapore. And in the next, his entire life was derailed by a life-threatening stroke. His life changed in an instant. And along with it, he found himself redefining what it meant to be happy and successful.
He discovered that the loss of independence and identity can be as debilitating as the diagnosis itself.
But he also learned that living an empowered life after a health crisis is possible—when you choose the path of self-discovery instead of self-pity.
He shares how a positive mindset paves the way to emerge stronger after loss and the transformative power of strong relationships. His sage wisdom echoes clearly why it’s important to heal from the heart, not just the mind. And he gives a simple blueprint to initiate the neuroplasticity of our brain by managing stress, enhancing movement and improving our diet – all valuable contributors to his personal journey of recovery. He also shares how alternative treatments, combined with therapy, made a significant impact towards his recovery.
He believes he survived this life-threatening stroke for a reason – to help others avoid what he has endured and be a voice for humanity. And he is passionate about stroke education and prevention. He shares the importance of sleep, diet, stress management and much more as well as stroke statistics that Aging Rebels will find surprising.
But you’ll really appreciate some other special words of wisdom that I won’t share here because we don’t want it all to be a spoiler. In the end, this episode is a must-listen for everyone! But especially anyone who finds themselves challenged in life. And in particular, anyone who may be facing a health crisis who may need some inspirational hand-holding to carry them through the next steps. Aanandha definitely reminds us that life isn’t about what happens to us, but how we handle what happens to us and furthermore, what we do with it once it does.
It is a lesson on life and a life lesson on living like no other. A reflective power-hour certain to help us all Age more GreatFULLy!

You read that correctly, Aging Rebels ... SEXERCISE!
We promise to never be cookie-cutter in our approaches towards Aging GreatFULLy and this episode is just another example!
Join the power-hour as we welcome returning guest, David Emerson Frost, for this super insightful, educational and fun topic that's more than an intimate look at what might get your heart racing and you'll soon realize after listening, horsing around (you'll have to listen to get that one)!
SEXercise may sound all sexy but believe it or not, it’s actually a lot more than romance and intimacy. Kaboomer Koach Dave Frost shares how it is actually specific exercises that can improve your strength, stamina, flexibility, pelvic floor, reducing blood pressure, and more, that yes, can enhance romancing in the bedroom as benefit too.
But, hold your horses, we’re not done! There’s more “stuff” we add to this discussion!
We also expand this enlivening topic to cover two other topics that greatly impact our health and vitality, Humming and Plastics. At the end of this episode, we’ll all be searching our favorite tunes to hum, thinking about how we take in our H20, and incorporating more active exercises to improve our daily lives
You won't want to miss all the important ways we can connect more, improve our relationships, wellness and even longevity. You'll appreciate some of the research and even "sciencey" ways of our amazing bodies work as Koach Dave explains them in simple ways that make sense!
It's a PG-14 FUNdamental look at a topic adults can appreciate from a new perspective that, as Koach Dave would (sorta) say, "Adds years to our (love) life and (love) life to our years!" (Permission to modify your slogan for this episode, Dave?)
He's a really cool and brilliant gentleman Aging Rebels will so appreciate having on the show again! Check out Dave’s previous Aging GreatFULLy episodes, “Kaboomer” and “Kicking Pain in the pASSt”!
Prepare for a semi-serious hour that delivers on these important Best Life NOW practices – even if we didn't take ourselves too seriously!

Imagine 90 Seconds to a Life You Love! That’s the powerful invitation extended to everyone from today’s inspiring guest, Dr. Joan I. Rosenberg, PhD, bestselling author, three-time TEDx speaker, corporate wellness consultant, media expert, and trainer on communication, confidence, resilience and authenticity.
Dr. Rosenberg presents a simple system for releasing us from the tyranny of the 8 key unpleasant emotions that undermine successful lives. She is the author of the bestselling book, 90 Seconds to a Life You Love, How to Master Your Difficult Feelings to Cultivate Lasting Confidence, Resilience and Authenticity.
As a young girl, Joan Rosenberg struggled with being terribly shy, sensitive, bullying and with a feeling of not fitting in with her peers. In short, she had no confidence. But she saw confidence in the people around her and strived to understand why they had it and she didn’t…what was the difference? It became her life quest! And now, as an innovative and leading-edge psychologist, with over 40 years of clinical practice combining neuroscience and cognitive and emotion-focused therapy, Dr. Joan Rosenberg absolutely knows what that difference is.
Her discoveries are groundbreaking and life changing! She discovered it has to do with whether you are distracting or disconnecting from any of eight specific emotions – or allowing yourself to feel them. Because confidence, she has found, has everything to do with your ability to know you can handle unpleasant emotions.
In this must-listen power hour of enlightYOUment, Dr. Rosenberg unveils those eight unpleasant emotions and what trips many people up regarding suppressing unpleasant feelings, why we avoid unpleasant feelings, and even distractions that undermine our confidence. We discuss her novel take on Imposter Syndrome, disguised grief, and even the importance of being mindful of our self-talk to ensure it is not an assault on our self-esteem. But we also talk about having a voice and the ability to speak up and how this can be done with greater ease.
You will enjoy every minute of the life-enhancing episode and want to purchase Dr. Rosenberg’s book that is changing lives for the better.

We've all heard of Empty Nest and for some, even held some anxiety about what it may entail. Unknowns can feel uncomfortable. In this Aging GreatFULLy power-hour of enlightYOUment, we discover the beauty of filling life and that nest with bounteous dreams and perhaps even lining your pockets.
We welcome author Matt Meline Sr., CFP®, Founder and CEO of PrairieFire Wealth Planning, who joins us to share not only his 30 years’ experience in the financial services field, but also how he's helped thousands of people focus on their dreams and values and how he faced his own Empty Nest journey. It was after experiencing that, he decided to write a book to help prepare others for the emotional and financial experiences ahead.
He understood that empty nest was a life cross road and he wanted to be a symbolic flag holder, showing others which roads to take, sharing a road map and guide book as they navigated the journey ahead. He takes them on a fun road trip rich with tips, wisdom, and experience from one whose been there and done that – bumper sticker and all to prove it – on the back of the minivan – he’s putting up for sale. Yes, he even discusses that!
Aging Rebels will so enjoy this candid convo as Matt sheds light on myth busting, FOMO, the emotional side of having university-bound kids and how to deal with what you're feeling all the while. From downsizing to feeling crushed in between that sandwich generation, we cover it all! It's an authentic dialogue with great advice that every parent can benefit from and our time together is a reflection of what is found between the pages of his book, Empty Nest Full Pockets.
In addition to helping people achieve their financial goals and dreams, Matt Meline Sr., CFP® founded PrairieFire in 2019 during his own empty nester journey. Inspired by the idea of a Prairie Fire sparking new growth by clearing remnants of the past, Matt’s approach helps families strip away old financial beliefs and preconceptions they’ve built up over time so they can focus on the goals that matter most with a clear, renewed sense of purpose. Matt believes in a life founded on passion, purpose and dreams and even talks about the importance of a having “fun jar!”

In this week’s Aging GreatFULLy power-hour we explore simple yet bountiful ways to receive the most out of life in the present while preparing thoughtfully for what is to come – our inevitable future passing. Host Holley Kelley, a gerontologist, Fellow in Thanatology, and Founder of the Latter-Life Planning Institute, puts the spotlight on some of her professional work and discusses facets of her book, Sunrises and Sunsets: Final Affairs Forged with Flair, Finesse and FUNctionality, and shares the many ways planning can bring peace of mind and newfound passion-borne freedom to living extraordinary in the present.
While Aging GreatFULLy often emphasizes innumerable ways Aging Rebels can center themselves in Best Life Now Practices, Kelley reminds listeners to make a habit of setting daily intentions alongside their smiles and gratitude practices. She focuses on things that one can do to live with peace and concord not only in the present, but so one can die with a clear conscious, regret free, as well as ensure those they leave behind can receive closure and live with resolution too, referencing her novel “Kick-the-Bucket-List”. She also discusses ways to ensure you’re living everyday life, not just going through the motions, such as working that Bucket List emphasizing that each day is a gift and to be cherished and honored through our grand living!
Kelley acknowledges that many people are challenged to know where to begin when it comes to basic planning and that it’s easy to just "not think about it" or leave it to another day. Noting there’s not day of the week called “someday” she gives a prod, elbow and on-air nudge for everyone who hasn’t yet done so, to complete their advance directives and even reviews one on air, sharing what it entails to try to answer some of the questions many may have about doing so.
From discussing changes as we age, to thoughts about personal items, funeral planning, memorials and your many wishes in general, including thoughts you’d like to leave behind with those you love, it’s an important conversation for anyone who believes they may someday die.
Life and Death Matters—Matter. And Kelley covers them A-Z in her book, Sunrises and Sunsets…well, actually, her acronym for covering them is CREATED PEACE, her innovative 12-Step process allowing everyone to plan through a soulful and enriching journey. Her process goes beyond the physical and technical and connects one spiritually, mentally and emotionally to truly discover and explore Life and Death Matters in a way that is gentle, compassionate and transformational. For those interested, Sunrises and Sunsets: Final Affairs Forged with Flair, Finesse and FUNctionality book is available on Amazon Prime, Barnes & Noble or you can ask for it at your local booksellers. For exclusive autographed copies available in the continental U.S., visit her store at: https://www.latterlifeplanninginstitute.com/store/c11/Books_-_Sunrises_and_Sunsets_Single_%26_Bulk.html.

Let’s face it, our world can be fraught with worry, stress and anxiousness. We all experience these emotions from time to time or even for some, live with it on a regular basis. What if you could learn to live happily with anxiety?
Meet Abbe Greenberg, MCIS, and Maggie Sarachek, MSW, (AKA, Abs and Mags, The Anxiety Sisters), chronic anxiety sufferers and authors of the acclaimed book, THE ANXIETY SISTERS’ SURVIVAL GUIDE: How You Can Become More Hopeful, Connected, and Happy (Penguin Random House), who are changing the way people around the globe are managing and – living happily with anxiety!
In THE ANXIETY SISTERS’ SURVIVAL GUIDE, they offer an arsenal of real-world, non-judgmental, research-based techniques, exercises, and insights—without the clinical, confusing, one-size-fits-all approach that isn’t so helpful when your mind is racing, your anxiety is in overdrive, and you just want to get back to feeling normal…ish.
Despite the obstacles, Abs and Mags have learned how to live happily with their anxiety and can teach readers to do the same.
In this must-listen power-hour of enlightYOUment, Abs and Mags share their Secret Sauce to thriving with anxiety – acceptance, agency and connection. And they even offer tips for combating anxiety and panic attacks with their novel advice for building your own special “Spin Kit!”
They talk about your super powers, and remind every listener they are not alone in their anxiety journey as they discuss just how widespread and far-reaching the effects and statistics are regarding anxiety. They put the spotlight on the importance of community. And while they may be the Anxiety Sisters, they have created quite a family of sisters, brothers, friends and like-minded supporters founded on relationships with a special understanding and bond with more than a 200-thousand-plus community who ride the waves of anxiety, tethered in friendship and fellowship.
Abs and Mags speak to the importance of optimism, mindset, and offer many tips to help with our worry, stress and anxiety challenges because as they share, anxiety isn’t going anywhere. In fact, In THE ANXIETY SISTERS’ SURVIVAL GUIDE, readers learn 31.1% of adults in the U.S. will experience an anxiety disorder at some point in their lives. Abs and Mags believe in “prepping for panic” because they have journeyed with it throughout their lives and want to share their experiences and wisdom with others so everyone can live more abundant and happily and not be barricaded by the many challenges that come with anxiety. Listener’s will cherish their sage approaches allowing us to live more fully in the present with what life brings our way! It's a timely, educational, wisdom-rich, authentic hour from beginning to end that every Aging Rebel is certain to enjoy and be more empowered to dial back the stress!

In this week’s Aging GreatFULLy we celebrate the rich bounty found in Love, Peace and Vegetables as we welcome guest Marcela Benson, M.A., author of just that book! This power-hour will capture the heart of even meat and potato enthusiasts with a dialogue rich in wisdom for passionate living and healthy lifestyles.
We discover in the opening, vegetables have had their share of twists, turns and trials throughout time, but it’s hard to imagine life today without them! And today, many are learning to love vegetables in more ways than ever before.
Marcela Benson is a Spiritual Nutrition Counselor, Essene Priestess, and author based in Miami Beach, Florida. She is a healer, passionate poet, avid student and spiritual teacher.

Between the pages of her book and in our conversation, we discuss the importance of water, as Marcela talks about what we should know about drinking water including gemstone water. She shares how even those who haven’t cared for vegetables in the past can come to enjoy them. She imparts wisdom for Aging GreatFULLy and appreciating life and is candid about what we know as we journey through life – you’ll have to listen to find out what I mean here! But the story about what led her to create this book is a special one… including how this beautiful, one-of-a-kind book came to be.
Part-guidebook, part manual, exquisite picture book and work of art, celebration of food and life, as well as her Sage approach of adding more love, peace and for some – even perhaps servings of vegetables – to the world, it is certainly a gift worth giving.

Don’t let life’s roadblocks and what may feel like a dead end hold you back any longer! In this week’s Aging GreatFULLy power-hour of enlightYOUment, we welcome international life, leadership and relationship coach, Ann Papayoti, author of The Gift of Shift: Discover the Key Within You to Unlock Your Best Life, written with Tracey MacDonald. The Gift of Shift is Ann’s gift to those who are struggling with life’s unforeseen consequences and fear what is ahead. She shows how easy change can be once you embrace the gift within the challenge, and set your course for a lighter heart, and alternative emotion, and a surrender within the moment. It’s easy to get overwhelmed in life and only see the obstacle, challenge or setback or as shared in the opening—only “see” the dead end. But there’s always another choice.
Ann’s work is founded on personal experiences of having endured some of life’s most brutal blows, from her college best friend deliberately stealing her high school sweetheart, the loss of an infant child, surviving a belligerent and abusive husband, having a child born with epilepsy and other neurological disorders, a family suicide, being bitten by a poisonous snake that went undiagnosed for months and the list continues. But despite it all, she found the gift hidden within each experience and utilized the gift of choice to respond to the challenges. And she’s on a mission to share with the world how they too, can open their gifts when facing unfortunate circumstances, instead of freezing up, shutting down or giving into depression or other unhealthy emotions, and alternatively choosing a better, more life-affirming, adaptable approach that can lead to new possibilities and a better path forward.
In her book, The Gift of Shift, “Gift” is the center theme of each chapter and readers will discover how to make “shift” happen within their own lives and unique circumstances. The book is written as a guide to make it easy to choose change.
It’s an inspiring hour from beginning to end and Aging Rebels will definitely want to not only purchase The Gift of Shift at their favorite bookseller, but also visit Ann Papayoti at www.skyviewcoaching.com to learn more about how she guides others towards personal growth. She also has a free gift, Soul CPR Mini Course video intro followed by a downloadable workbook to find your pulse on life again for listeners to access at www.skyviewcoaching.com/soul-cpr-free-gift.

Gather around the kitchen with Chef Melissa C. Bernstein, OT, FAOTA, for meals that warm the heart and welcome EVERYONE to join in the joy and fun of food and festivities that nourish the mind, body and soul!
Chef Melissa blazes a special culinary trail! As an occupational therapist, her kitchen vision was one founded on love – an inspiration that began at a very young age. Join us, as we talk about the magic of food, how it unites, serves as a soothing salve, and can be the epicenter of well-celebrated living and sustenance beyond the belly.
We start the show in the opening, talking about the love of food, since the dawn of time! Yes, everyone loves food! And the kitchen is where the action is, the heart of the home, and food preparation is an important facet of mealtime. Making the meal is filled with enriching connections while engaging all our senses and creating wonderful feelings of joy and appreciation. Regardless of skills or challenge, Melissa has opened the kitchen and is Serving up Love!
Her book, Power of 5 Test Kitchen Cookbook: Caregiver Edition, is a special one as is her kitchen, Power of 5 Test Kitchen! Melissa recognized the challenges of cooking for loved ones battling neurodegenerative illnesses as well as the importance of keeping them engaged in meaningful activities. So, she set out to find ways to keep everyone safe and engaged during meal preparation! Using her skills as both a veteran occupational therapist and certified chef, she answered the call providing recipes, helpful hints, tools and even “Melissa’s Modifications.” Her book is a hit for caregivers and care recipients as well as anyone who enjoys uniting in the kitchen to the fullest capacity seeking healthy fare. But she also takes it a step further and talks about Adaptive Kitchen Equipment, with photos, provides an Abilities Inventory to assist in determining the level of abilities, and we even discuss specific challenges one may have with regard to swallowing, chewing, tastes and more.
Instead of bringing food to loved ones, Melissa has opened the kitchen to all – because everyone not only loves food, but they love everything that food is about! This is what makes her book is a must read and this episode so important! Beyond the Test Kitchen, Melissa discusses the Power of 5 Principles for a healthy lifestyle and the work she enjoys supporting and collaborating on with her husband, Dr. David Bernstein, a leading Geriatrician, author, speaker and former guest on the Aging GreatFULLy show.
Melissa Bernstein is Founder, President and CEO of the Dynamic companies, since 1993, Dynamic Healthcare Solutions, Inc. provided healthcare clinical and operational consulting to an array of healthcare organizations. With over thirty-five years of clinician and consulting experience in geriatric rehabilitation, her focus was providing occupational therapy and rehab management in long term care, home health and outpatient rehab settings for both adults and children. Melissa’s Power of 5 Test Kitchen took flight in 2018, incorporating Part 2 of Dr. Bernstein’s Power of 5 book, Putting Healthy Eating into Practice. In 2019, Melissa became a certified chef through Forks Over Knives and Rouxbe Cooking Academy.

In this Aging GreatFULLy power-hour of enlightYOUment, we discuss an important topic to everyone—relationships! So often relationships can feel like two ships that pass in the night verses two ships anchored side by side in the harbor. And at the core of our relationships can be marriage.
With that, we welcome the coauthor of more than thirty books, John David Mann, including four New York Times bestsellers and five national bestsellers; his classic 2008 parable The Go-Giver (coauthored with Bob Burg) selling over 1 million copies and earned the 2017 Living Now Book Award’s “Evergreen Medal” given for its “contribution to positive global change.”
But John David Mann’s latest work involved a different partner of the pen, his life partner and partner in marriage, Ana Gabriel Mann, M.A., and together, they created The Go-Giver Marriage: A Little Story About the 5 Secrets to Lasting Love. Together they weaved their wisdom, unique strengths and experiences to create The Go-Giver Marriage to be a book like no other!
Over the years since the original book’s publication, the term “go-giver” has become shorthand for a defining set of values that has helped hundreds of thousands of people around the world find greater professional success. Now, with its charming fable-within-a-parable, followed by an in-depth practical guide, The Go-Giver Marriage brings the personal side of The Go-Giver to life.
For more than a decade, readers of the bestselling Go-Giver series have been clamoring for a book on how to apply the philosophy at the heart of The Go-Giver to their personal relationships. From the original story’s coauthor, John, who is a well-known and gifted storyteller, and his wife, Ana, a clinically trained educator and therapist, this long-awaited sequel shows readers how to unlock a deeply satisfying, abundant relationship based on simple, everyday acts of generosity.
You’ll enjoy the entire hour as John and Ana share how to improve your marriage by focusing on your own mindset, and how you bring yourself to the relationship. They discuss how one simple practice can transform your relationship and create positive, lasting change in as little as a week or two. They remind us to drop the score card, and alternatively, build a “things-I-love-about-you” list that can transform the quality of your marriage and so much more you won’t want to miss! They also share their favorite secrets to lasting love but you’ll have to listen to find out what they are!
Ana Gabriel Mann earned her degree in clinical psychology before going on to serve as a celebrated educator, therapist, corporate trainer, speaker, and coach. She currently coaches Go-Giver Marriage clients and leads the Go-Giver Marriage Coaches Training Program, training coaches from around the globe. Together, Ana and John host The Go-Giver Marriage Living the Secrets of Lasting Love Workshops, to learn more, reach out at workshop@gogivermarriage.com. They also train others to become Go-Giver Marriage Coaches as discussed in this episode and for more information you can contact them at programs@gogivermarriage.com.

As we welcome the New Year, host Holley Kelley welcomes listeners with a simple message, to make the year theirs! Instead of hoping this year will bring great bounty to us, Holley reminds us that we already have all that is necessary to bring forth awesomeness to ROCK THIS YEAR!
And, there is no time like the present to get started! She calls upon listeners to bring their dreams to reality, through creating a “2022 Matters Most List” and make it and themselves a priority each and every step of the way. She reminds Aging Rebels of their capacity to achieve whatever they desire. She also echoes how hurdles will always be here to discourage us so if we wait on a perfect time, we’ll be waiting a lifetime. She emphasizes NO dreams are off limits. She leads us to answer some simple—but not necessarily easy—questions to begin our “New Year’s Matters Most Lists” – reminding us that New Years are a time for NEW hopes, objectives, desires, ambitions, goals, wishes and dreams and whatever they may be, we deserve it!
Kelley reminds us that life is now and that’s why getting started this year, amidst the less-than-ideal circumstances presented, done creatively, allows us to still pursue living out or purpose-driven goals. Kelley also spends some of the episode prompting us to clear a path to make those dreams possible to begin the new year ensuring success with our goals, asking listeners to take personal inventory on things that could interfere with our Best Life Now ambitions. Through not getting caught up in the traps of fear, toxicity, or divide, and staying inspired and centered in pursuit of goals, and loving all that can be created through this year, she shares how we will marvel at what will unfold as a result!
Calling upon all beautiful, wise, contributing, daring, FUN, bucket-list living, stereo-type breaking, comfort-zone crossing, throwing out the box because Aging Rebels don’t acknowledge boxes, dream chasing, living life on their terms because it just gets better with age, and age is just a number, even though we don’t act it, Aging Rebel extraordinaires, Aging GreatFULLy catch us if you can, resourceful, ingenious, Longevitor Rock Star role models … to lead the way and ROCK 2022 and see what shows UP!
Happy New Year Aging Rebels Around The World!!!

What if your conscience could be your guide and provide super-conscious wisdom? That’s the powerful message today’s guest, Leonard Perlmutter, brings for the New 2022 Year and beyond! As a globally recognized thought-leader and founder of the American Medication Institute and innovator and founder of January’s National Conscience Month, Leonard shows us how to give our conscience sway in our life! Perlmutter shares how ALL of our decisions support and guide us to act in our highest good, leading to a life of joy, love, peace and both personal and professional success.
As author of Your Conscience: The Key to Unlock Limitless Wisdom, Creativity and Solve All of Life’s Challenges, Perlmutter articulates the powerful role of our conscience, highlighting its supreme intelligence, and helps us better understand the Four Functions of the Mind. Using his shared wisdom, we gain insight as to why perspective is everything and he helps us identify how to tune into our own conscience.
He educates on this complicated topic in a simplistic way that makes sense and it’s no wonder Jiminy Cricket is AMI’s self-proclaimed spoke person, as he does believe we should, “Always let your conscience be your guide.” But Perlmutter asks us not to take his word for it —calling upon each listener to experiment with what he shares. It’s an educational, empowering and entertaining hour from beginning to end, offering tips, tools and guidance towards unlocking our full potential of wisdom and unlimited possibilities.
In this power-hour of enlightYOUment, Perlmutter addresses the importance of self-care as it may relate to many New Year’s Resolutions, as well as a well-celebrated living and Aging GreatFULLy. He defines Yoga for us, and its many benefits, as well as meditation, and he invites listeners to join him for his globally-welcomed weekly guided meditations and Satsang held every Sunday morning.
Leonard has presented informative workshops on the benefits of meditation and Yoga Science at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Kaiser Permanente, the Albany Medical College, The New York Times forum on Yoga Science, the Commonwealth Club of California, the University of Wisconsin School of Nursing, the Washington University Medical School the University of Colorado Medical and the West Point Association of Graduates. Over the past twenty-five years, he has served on the faculties of the New England Institute of Ayurvedic Medicine in Boston, Massachusetts and the International Himalayan Yoga Teachers Association in Calgary, Canada.
Leonard’s first book, The Heart and science of Yoga: The American Meditation Institute’s Empowering Self-Care Program for a Happy, Healthy, Joyful Life, is an encyclopedic guide to meditation and the Yoga Science that lies behind it. The book and its corresponding curriculum, taught by Leonard in his Foundations class, was enthusiastically endorsed by popular medical luminaries like Drs. Dean Ornish, Mehmet Oz and Larry Dossey.
You can learn more about this, his books and inspiring work, workshops, guided meditations and more by visiting www.americanmeditation.org. It's a must-listen for everyone who wants to take the wheel of their life for the New Year and unlock all the possibilities that await!

Join us for an Aging GreatFULLy Old-Fashioned Christmas Storytime with Holley Kelley! Some traditions never grow old, and story time gatherings are certainly one of them, regardless of our age. You’re invited to gather around the fireplace or snuggle up with your favorite blanket, beverage, family or pet and enjoy the timeless tradition of storytelling as host, Holley Kelley, shares some holiday stories she wrote just for listeners. Two are from last year’s Christmastime episode—but that’s the great thing about the holidays—the tradition of cherishing recycled stories told year after year. And we have a new narrative this year too, founded on truth that began long ago, around Christmastime. We hope you will enjoy all three special and unique pieces in this special holiday tribute hour.
In the hustle and bustle and demands of life, especially this time of year, we hope you will find some joy and lose yourself in the creative imaginings of storytelling. These stories are about family, love, forgiveness and never giving up on your dreams. They remind us of the true meaning of Christmastime and how important it is to carry forth the essence of all it encompasses, year-round.
The messages in these stories also bring forth the unwavering significance of unconditional love, what it means to belong, how you’re never too old, it’s never too late, and how family… is well… family—sometimes blood related, and sometimes it’s who we call “our people.”
Whether you celebrate special holidays or not, we hope every listener enjoys the messages woven within these storylines. On behalf of the Aging GreatFULLy show, we wish each listener a season of happiness and joy, may your life be full of what matters most, health, hope, passion, love, peace, and happiness.

Join us for a Holley Jolly Fun-Filled Christmas with Santa Claus but don't take us too serious because we're not, even if we try! Santa Claus, joins the Aging GreatFULLy show to tell us how things really are behind the scenes at the North Pole. But be forewarned, it's not a show for the young boys and girls because Santa, aka, my brother, Del Kelley, talks about liquored-up reindeer, what really happens at the Kringle Mingle, and some other surprises I didn't see coming! You'll be able to tell it was hard to keep my composure throughout a lot of this dialogue because my brother -- I mean Santa -- has that effect on me. It's a good thing that laughter is the best medicine!
With the year we've had, the challenges we often face, struggles life can throw our way, I hope this episode allows you to get lost in some imaginative Christmas fun and lose yourself in a laugh or two. This episode is meant to entertain; I acknowledge that my jokes are bad but my hopes are to simply take your mind off of things and bring some enjoyment into your life and make your Yuletide merry! Our family laughs a lot, at each other, at life, and at ourselves. There's something to be said for laughter. I believe we can't get enough of it.
Santa shares how to make the "Nice List" and what he does with all those letters he receives! And he also answers the big question we're all wondering -- will Rudulph lead the sleigh again this year? It's a big reveal from beginning to end, including what he does during his off time, what he wears when he's not outfitted in the red suit, and so much more surprising North Pole News you'll only hear here!
There's some serious aspects of this show too, hidden amidst the narratives, humor and creative imaginings. Santa reminds us about the true meaning of this sacred and Glorious season. And the empirical value of kindness, and how each day offers a new opportunity to begin again with a fresh beginning. And Santa shares the importance of forgiveness too as he talks about the Naughty to Nice List system implemented at the NP. Christmas reminds us of the importance of sharing our generosity of spirit with others but Santa asks us to remember to do this year round. The gift of Christmas is a wonderful one to celebrate.

We talk about his international fame and the fun of being “Big in Japan,” and even how music is the universal language that brings everyone together. It’s a fabulous and powerful hour beginning to end for everyone that wants to smile and bask in joy and celebrate music, life and living!

Sometimes NOT getting what you want is exactly what you need! That’s the powerful message of today’s guest, Chris Patrick, author of Disaster to Dreams: A Gritty Guide to Finding Success in the Face of Failure. Join us as Chris shares his personal story of how he wasn’t leading the life he wanted, his biggest catastrophes and greatest comebacks, and demonstrates how amazing opportunities lie just on the other side of adversity—if you’re willing to do the dirty work and dig through defeat. His book, Disaster to Dreams, is a tough-love, unfiltered self-improvement guide certain to motivate and transform stress into stability, train wrecks into trophies and disasters into dreams, as he shares page after page of his perfect shiftstorm!
Chris Patrick could have stayed on a one-way path of failure and life setbacks, but instead, a hard-partying snowboard bum turned successful businessman, his ride to success was hard-earned and well deserved. Through trials and tribulations, Chris persevered despite setbacks on the road to his eventual success, such as business failures, loss and heartbreak. Chris is currently a real estate consultant and founder of The Patrick Group, a premier real estate firm in Las Vegas. With over $100 million sold since 2013, he was named in the top 1% for all Las Vegas Realtors and the number one top producer for Signature Real Estate Group. Previously, he owned three successful businesses and spent 15 satisfying years in sales, marketing and customer service.
His message is an important and powerful one, written candidly and received between the pages as if hearing it right from your bestie over a latte or your favorite beverage or brew. And that is, he hopes to inspire others to see the opportunity within their own failures, rather than shame and defeat, and overcome their serious hardships, traumatic events, or struggles in order to live their absolute best lives. Chris's unfiltered messages resonate chapter after chapter. (note we elude to expletives in this episode but do not use them)
Chris Patrick is the classic example that life is what we make of it, and he’s here to remind everyone that nobody has a perfect life but we do have the power to improve it. Disaster to Dreams is a gripping read reminding everyone of their limitless opportunity. It’s part guidebook, part self-reflection workbook, part memoir, and entrepreneur’s bread crumb trail for great advice, but most of all, it’s a book for anyone who seeks to get the most out of life!

In this week’s power-hour of enlightYOUment we welcome Margit Novack, an entrepreneur, thought leader and widely considered founder of the Senior Move Management industry. After decades in the field of aging and senior living, she moved away from her life of work and title to another role – author of the book, Squint: Re-visioning the Second Half of Life, speaker, and champion of a re-visioned picture of aging.
We never know where life is going to take us, but we also know sometimes we need to push ourselves to leave our comfort zone too! Life is a balancing act – an ebb and flow, rich with lessons and Margit Novack has definitely written a book full of them!
There’s a saying, “Don’t look back, you’re not going that way” …. But Margit makes the case that moving forward is made easier by looking back. From a variety of heartfelt and authentic stories to years of experiences and wisdom gained both personally and as a senior move manager, Margit shares how we can reframe and re-vision growing older to navigate the years forward with purpose and passion! From the importance of social connections, to what we can learn from our aging pets, and even life transitions and making amends, her stories and examples are tender, all-too-real, sometimes humorous and even occasionally sad, but remind us all of the importance of having insight regarding these thought-provoking conversations.
Margit also focuses on legacies – not just the kind you leave behind but also the kind you create by the life you live – something so important for each of us to consider in our aging journey towards living our best life now. From letting go, geriatric fiblets, to resolving the mystery of a purse in the freezer, it’s a must-listen from beginning to end for everyone who wishes to lean in to making the rest of the years the best of the years, even if they have to Squint to do so!

In part 2 of our Aging GreatFULLy Relationship RescYOU series, we welcome back Dr. Erica Goodstone, Ph.D., LMHC, LMFT, a Healing Through Love Mentor and Relationship Expert and continue the conversation in Relationship RescYOU 200: Me, We, World. We receive a bounty of insight as Dr. Erica helps us understand the nuances of relationships, defines what love is and what love isn’t, and we gain a better understanding of why, when it comes to others, love can be a team sport. They say it takes two to tango, and where love it concerned, it also takes two – to share a common goal of being invested in the relationship.
It’s a conversation rich with wisdom across the ages, as Dr. Erica cites what she’s learned personally, professionally and even gained from some of her most admired mentors. And we realize love may be a little easier said and aspired than acquired – but when we achieve it, it’s well worth the effort. We talk about expectations and even disappointments, both being one and being on the receiving end of one—the power of forgiveness and making amends, and even letting go. And we discuss how the little things can be the big things. We also reflect back to last week’s episode, Relationship RescYOU 101: Me, Myself & I, to our youth and former experiences, even culture, and how they play a powerful role and greatly impact what we bring to our relationships. We gain awareness as to why we choose the partners we choose and even a better understanding on why they may react the way they do in certain situations.
It’s a deeply insightful power-hour of enlightYOUment on all things relationships you won’t want to miss for everyone that wants to know more about dating, their partner, strengthen their marriage, understand more about love, improve their life or just wants more harmony in their relationships both individually and with others!
Dr. Erica Goodstone helps you (as an individual or couple, male, female, gay or heterosexual) to heal your body, yourself, and your relationships through Love. Dr. Erica is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Marriage Therapist, Board Certified Sex Therapist, on the Faculty of the International Institute for Clinical Sexology, Somatic Body Psychotherapist and Personal/Life and Health/Wellness Coach.

In this special 2-part Aging GreatFULLy series we put the spotlight on all things Relationships! In this first episode, Relationship RescYOU 101: Me Myself and I, we welcome special guest, relationship expert, Dr. Erica Goodstone, Ph.D., LMHC, LMFT, a Healing Through Love Mentor, as we focus on the most vital and foundational relationship – that being, the one we have with ourselves. Dr. Erica Goodstone educates us on mother-infant bonding and how the formative years, those we can’t remember, are paramount in how we view and engage in relationships later in life as well as how we adopt personal beliefs regarding internal and external love.
It’s an educational and insightful hour from beginning to end, as we discover how we are impacted by our culture, our family dynamic, upbringing and foundations of love. But most importantly, we learn about the brain’s plasticity allowing us to ability to improve areas where we may have experienced a deficit in those formative and younger years and this empowers us as adults to take the wheel and make positive improvements to make the rest of the years the best of the years moving forward. We discuss disappointment, forgiveness, and capacity for self-love and how the relationship with ourselves is an important one for many reasons. We also realize that when we look around and only see ourselves, it’s not only important to like that person in the mirror, but we also need to be able to count on them. We need to take stock in who we are. But also, it’s beneficial to become our own best friend, get behind ourselves, support ourselves in this journey of life, and know what we stand for and really appreciate what it’s taken to become the person we are today. When we do the work, we realize, when we’ve gotten ourselves to a place where we are good with the person in the mirror, we are ready for what the world –and others—may bring our way. Getting good with who we are is also wonderful rite of passage towards Aging GreatFULLy as well!
Be sure and join us next week as the dialogue continues in part two, Relationship RescYOU 200: Me, We, World with Dr. Erica Goodstone.

In this Aging GreatFULLy power-hour of enlightYOUment, we use our special key and take a deep dive into our very own conscience as we welcome guest, Leonard Perlmutter, the founder and director of the American Meditation Institute in Averill Park, New York, author of the bestselling The Heart and Science of Yoga, and originator of National Conscience Month. In his latest book, Your Conscience: The Key to Unlock Limitless Wisdom and Creativity and Solve All of Life’s Challenges, with Jenness Cortez Perlmutter, Leonard shows how to give your conscience sway in your life so that ALL of your decisions support and guide you to act in your highest good, leading to a life of joy, love, peace and both personal and professional success.
In this powerful hour, Leonard shares what the conscience is, which may surprise many! He also uncovers why it can be difficult to follow the advice of our conscience and defines the four functions of the mind, Ego, Senses, Unconscious, and Conscious. Leonard demonstrates how to call a “meeting” with your mind which truly allows us to understand how these for functions work together. We discover the incredible power of our thoughts and the relationship regarding how they really work towards manifesting into becoming things. One thing we realize, is that it’s important to pay attention and be mindful of our mind--consciously conscience—but also, note which part has the loudest voice.
It’s an enlightening and educational hour from beginning to end allowing us to discover more about our own conscience and as Perlmutter shares, “when regularly exercised, can become sharp and clear like a brilliant mirror” which, of course, makes it earlier to reflect our inner wisdom and guide our actions.
Perlmutter is also the internationally renowned meditation teacher (also known as Ram Lev) and discusses the positive power of meditation. Visit the American Meditation Institute to learn more about Leonard Perlmutter’s work, his many books, classes and videos, as well as Free weekly guided meditations and Satsang every Sunday morning. Instructions are available at https://americanmeditation.org/sunday-meditation/. Leonard is one of the Western world’s pioneers in the introduction of meditation into the cultural firmament having founded the American Meditation (AMI) in 1996. AMI’s courses are now approved and accredited by the American Medical Association and the American Nurses Association. Leonard also serves as the author and editor of “Transformation,” the Journal of Meditation as Mind/Body Medicine. You can learn more by visiting www.americanmeditation.org.

This week we explore how to reframe our understanding of past challenges and use those experiences to identify positive new ways to navigate forward more empowered because of them!
We welcome Isabel Chiara, creator of the “Life Actualization Process,” a guide, mentor, and leader, who brings with her a powerful message, “Your obstacles are working for you!”
Isabel is also the author of the new released book, Eat Your Words, a narrative, semi-autobiographical exploration, full of life-lessons and experiences transforming self-destructive behavior into self-compassionate dialogue and ways to better understand how inherited trauma can influence our tendency to use food or other external substances for placation. Chiara shares why women are especially good at creating Food-Abusive relationships and even her historic abuse of her own physical nutritional fluctuations.

Isabel also reveals how we can transform addiction through slow steps of self-compassion, the importance of self-care, gut instinct, and even imaginative muses. But most of all, she asks listeners to love NOT being there yet and even to reframe what “getting there” actually means and why we can come together to transform what success physically looks like.
One thing resonates throughout the hour, failure is not an option – as long as we are trying, we are learning, growing and transforming--but not failing!
Isabel has been a leader throughout her entire life, studying and working in transformational energy modalities, serving others, whether through entrepreneurial work, culinary prowess, or her professional intuitive guidance.
With dedication, Isabel activates unlimited potential and empowerment for her clients, helping them to ignite their full passion and align with their most authentic life path, masterfully supporting the liberation of constricting beliefs, definitions, and self-limitations.

We’re all on life’s journey heading in varying directions but what we truly desire is to achieve Life Mastery. And today’s guest would have it no other way! We welcome Shirley Stirling Fernandez, author of just that book, a USA Today & Wall Street Journal Bestseller, Life Mastery: Personal Progression Toward an Infinite Potential. Sherry shares The Formula for Continual Expansion into Your Own Greatness: Contentment + Progress = Happiness. And this is something she is eager to instill in every reader and listener, along with the clearly defined pathway to achieve it. Her book, Life Mastery, makes the case that if you are not progressing toward a better version of yourself, you can never achieve any true sense of joy … For happiness comes from recognizing and celebrating the fulfillment of your personal goals no matter how challenging – and then setting out on the road to the next one. A lifetime of progress toward your infinite potential is what makes you exceptional, fills your heart and enables you to leave your imprint on the world – your legacy!
Her incredibly powerful book provides everyone with the keys to embark on this quest – the determination of your WHY – without which you will likely fail quickly. The WHAT – what needs your focus and the attention to achieve Life Mastery in eight different aspects of your life. And the HOW -- getting an assessment of where you are; what goals and action steps to take; the systems to put in place the habits you need to instill (or replace). This exceptional manual gives you everything you need to get you on the road to Life Mastery, and inspires you to take that first step!
Sherry doesn’t just talk the talk, she has walked in the shoes herself and tells her own inspiring story that she shares with listeners, having left home at the young age of 17, Sherry and her husband Ken Fernandez, are a rags-to-riches story. Against all odds they found success, not only financially, but in each of the eight areas of Life Mastery --- physical, spiritual, relationships, education, motivation, money, lifestyle, character. And one thing Sherry always held close, was she always believed she was destined for great things. And she was right! This episode is a riveting and inspiring hour from beginning to end, empowering everyone towards achieving their own Life Mastery!

We talk often on the Aging GreatFULLy show about seizing the second side of life with excitement and vitality! We don’t want to get stuck in limbo – we’d rather play the game – as host, Holley Kelley shares in her opening remarks.

Join us as we welcome Lifestyle and Wellness Strategist and Speaker, Cathy Richards, M.A., to offer motivation to get started (or res-started, if need be!) with healthier habits so we can not only enjoy life but experience LIVING!
Cathy Richards is an exercise physiologist, wellness coach and bestselling author of BOOM: Six Steps to a Longer, Healthier Life.

In her book, BOOM, she highlights step-by-step, practical advice and instructions for getting started, from beginners to more advanced, while showcasing the benefits of making these changes right now. She reminds us how small changes are significant and every effort makes strides towards our health and wellness and that today’s habits impact our 85-year young self.
Admitting that not everyone enjoys getting into healthier routines of wellness, she makes it easy to get started with her inspiring approach. A must-listen power-hour of enlightYOUment for everyone whose growing older!

There are some things that just don’t go out of style, no matter how much time passes by. That is some of the core values taught by our ancestors that came before us who lived to tell the stories of their day. And we too, are building and creating our stories, the introductions of which often began unfolding early in our youth.
At nearly 81 years young, returning guest, Jim Owen still has a lot of living, passion, purpose and stories to share! Determined to get fit in his 70’s, the 80-year-old former Wall Street executive, best-selling author of Cowboy Ethics, and Just Move, documentary filmmaker, social entrepreneur, and global speaker, Jim Owen, inspires others through his fitness journey, positive and empowering thoughts about life and living and his recent documentary film, The Art of Aging Well.
We unpack his best-selling and highly inspirational book, Cowboy Ethics: What It Takes to Win at Life, and how he came to explore the Code of The West. Jim will tell you he had a fascination with cowboys since his youth and they had forever been his heroes. But it was his ability to cherry pick their core values that truly is astonishing. And as he shares on this show, that isn’t just my opinion. His Code of the West was declared as the “Official Code of the West” by the Governor of Wyoming…a high honor indeed! Speaking of honor, Jim’s codes aren’t just for cowboys and day’s gone by. They embody the best of fundamental values, iconic traits for living a life rich with principled beliefs in a modern era. 10 tenets like Courage, Pride, Fairness and Promises, all of which he outlines on the show. The book itself is a work of art and each page wisdom infused stories to back up the reason for the code of ethic. But his resonating message is one of the fact that we all need heroes during this time, and his hope is that the Cowboy Way will inspire everyone to reach for the Hero Within.
But he’s much more than a cowboy enthusiast and admirer --though admittedly not a cowboy himself, and says quite openly he’s even scared of horses. But what he is – is a BOLD life enthusiast and absolute Aging GreatFULLy Role Model! In his book shared on a previous episode, Just Move, he shares his journey from couch potato to fitness by simply making the choice to “move” and encourages everyone to simply do so. His latest project is another powerful one, a multi-segment documentary film, The Art of Aging Well and spotlights everyday super-agers the art of aging itself. Listeners are invited to view it on his website at www.justmoveforlife.com for free, where you can also learn more about all the fascinating and inspiring work he is doing, purchase his books and connect with him.
An inspiring show from beginning to end you won’t want to miss!

Join us in this episode of Aging GreatFULLy as we welcome Ellen Rittberg, award winning journalist, humorist and attorney who represented senior citizens and children in court for over twenty-five years. She also wrote reports and recommendations for judges in guardianship cases. In her humorous self-help book, Why is Grandma Naked? Caring for your Aging Parent, she describes what worked for her while being a caregiver for her mother after moving in with her mother for six years, while working full time. She chose to write this book from a humorous perspective to lighten the load of caregivers, knowing their roles are often stressful she wanted to bring moments of laughter, comfort and even peace to their lives. Ellen treats listeners to an on-air excerpt read; and explains the importance of laughter despite what uncontrollable circumstances life doles out.
While written in a lighthearted manner, the book contains quick-read chapters of Ellen’s personal wisdom and experiences of what she learned as a caregiver and serves as a FUNdamental roadmap for others to use to navigate their own caregiver journey. Knowing that caregivers are often busy, this self-help guide is part manual, part support book, and part just the witty lift one might need to smile their way through the realities of caregiving. But it is based on her experiences--what she got right and sometimes didn’t--and her hope is that her book will help others along their caregiving journey. Ellen openly shares her journey of caring for her mother with cognitive decline and how their relationship changed over time. And candidly shares how in spite of the changes in the relationship, there were still ways to create special moments of connections, joy and even laughter. Ellen also shares a saying she has adopted, daresay a mantra -- that I feel many listeners will appreciate and even adopt into their own lives. An enjoyable and enriching hour from beginning to end!
Ellen Rittberg lectures about caregiving, parenting and creative writing in many venues, including before Covid, on cruise ships. Her plays, Sci Fi and Sabbath Elevator about the consequences of a loss of freedom and me-too, respectively have been performed on New York City Stages.

Tune into to discover how a rogue lobster served as a messenger for a midlife crisis!
In this powerfully candid episode of Aging GreatFULLy, we welcome guest Sara Arnell, author of There Will Be Lobster: Memoir of a Midlife Crisis. Sara shares her personal journey of an impressive thirty-year career in fashion, writing, and advertising. And, one of the biggest lessons she learned in her thirty-years is that in advertising—appearances can be deceiving—and Sara was good at showing people only what she wanted them to see. Behind her façade of happiness and success, she morphed into a divorced, sad, lonely, anxious, self-medicating, empty-nesting, middle-aged mess.
She joins the show, to share her book, There Will Be Lobster, including her incredible journey and the importance of the way we perceive midlife crisis. She provides an unguarded and honest look into her personal struggles, knowing that her sincerity on this topic of anxiety, depression and mental health is the best way to help others who may be facing a similar life crisis. She articulates in detail how she felt and viewed her world, and through sharing her truth and challenges her sage wisdom on this topic hits some high notes certain to resonate with others.
It’s a powerfully candid hour as Sara takes us along on her unbelievable quest to uncover answers to questions she didn’t even know she was asking at times. And, as you will learn from listening, despite life’s lows, silver linings may simply be the ability to still see a glimmer of light, or find humor in unsuspecting places and laugh along the rocky road we travel. In her case, it took a rogue lobster, dying rock star, an eighteen-pound tumor, a meditation guru, a famous medium, and a former monk to put her on the path towards light, hope, self-love and healing.
Truly, a captivating listen from beginning to end! Sara serves as a light house for others to know that there is light at the end of the tunnel and your time to shine is ahead, regardless of what life may feel like today. Her book, There Will Be Lobster: Memoir of a Midlife Crisis, is an honest and heart-to-heart memoir that puts the spotlight on midlife crisis and how the journey to healing is often paved with undiscovered gems of hope.

Sometimes we’re just driving along life’s scenic journey enjoying the view and suddenly out of nowhere we intersect with something we never saw coming. We get the call the changes the entire trajectory of our intended destination. That is often what it can feel like when we are thrust into a caregiving role. Today’s guest knows this first hand. Aaron Blight, Ed.D., joins us to share his personal story of becoming a family caregiver and how it forever changed his life. Dr. Blight is the author of When Caregiving Calls: Guidance as You Care for a Parent, Spouse, or Aging Relative, and not only is he a professional expert in this field, he’s been there, done that – personally. As founder of Caregiving Kinetics, Dr. Blight has made it his mission to Crack the Caregiving Code!
In this must listen power-hour of enlightYOUment, he shares how caregiving suddenly took its detour into his family’s life, why he wrote his book, When Caregiving Calls, and how prevalent caregiving is in society. We use the metaphoric road trip of life and in doing so, we realize there are many routes one can take to reach a destination, and the same is true with caregiving; Dr. Blight shares the uniqueness of each caregiving situation and that it is not a one-size-fits-all approach. He emphasizes self-care, and even with life’s confusing roundabouts, we don’t always get it right the first time – try “try again” and be easy on yourself regarding your caregiving learning curve – he cites, “showing, guessing, trying” (you’ll have to listen)! Dr. Blight offers the roadmap caregivers are seeking and inspiration they need. But this hour addresses this conversation from all angles, both giving and receiving care.
We also recognize the fear factor surrounding care – and the statistics tell us we should certainly address these. But there’s something else we should address that often doesn’t receive the attention it deserves. It is more typically upstaged with the challenges, emotional and physical exhaustion.
And that is the unexpected and inimitable rewards that arise from caregiving. Hidden amidst the confusion and the hustle and bustle are little pockets of perfection where time stands still and beautiful gifts of love are exchanged. THIS cannot be taken nor duplicated and it forever lines the heart with special depths of tender devotion that is a shared experience between the caregiver and receiver that transcends a lifetime and fleeces the soul with pearls of joy. What a beautiful gift to both give and receive. But that’s the beauty of gifts – they bring delight to both the giver and recipient. And so, it is with caregiving too.
Aaron Blight, Ed.D., is an international speaker and consultant on caregiving, aging, and healthcare. He serves as an Adjunct Professor of Healthcare Management and Public Health at Shenandoah University. He has served as a family caregiver, home care company owner, caregiving scholar, and leader at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. He was recently recognized as a “Top 100 Healthcare Leader” by the International Forum on Advancements in Healthcare.

If your life seems to be one long endless struggle, your relationships unsatisfying, you're angry, disillusioned, unwell, stuck or just plain unhappy, and you'd rather be sailing along joyfully, enjoying a life of freedom, peace and prosperity...The solution is moving from Lifetime One to Lifetime Two-without ever kicking the bucket.

Join us as we welcome special guest, Patti Henry, MEd, LPC, a psychotherapist who has been in private practice since 1988, and author of Two Lifetimes: From Fear to Love. We’ll explore her novel concept of Two Lifetimes and the incredible possibilities for growth, healing and happiness when we lean into our full potential of authenticity. Patti Henry poses the all-important question of “which lifetime are you in today? The one that’s run by fear or the one that’s fueled on love?” This clever metaphor is one that graduates us from being controlled by our wounded child to being lovingly directed by our emotionally-mature adult.
Moving into lifetime two means GROWING UP. Moving from Lifetime One where every emotion, decision and action is consciously or unconsciously driven by the hurt, rebellious "I'm not good enough" child inside us to Lifetime Two, where every emotion, decision and action is driven by the thoughtful, love-inspired, emotionally mature adult. Drawing from her personal experience of surviving an abusive alcoholic father, experiences with her own children, and cases with her many patients, Henry offers stories and anecdotes that will hit home. Henry is no stranger to overcoming life challenges, as you will learn in this episode her unwavering grit and resilience -- so inspiring!
But we also put the spotlight on fear and it’s paralyzing effects which stunt our ability to thrive fully in adulthood (Lifetime 2) and she provides a wonderful blueprint for healing, rewriting the narratives (stories) from our youth (Lifetime 1) and even kicking that ghost driver out of our car! (Tune in to learn what we mean!) From beginning to end, this is truly an inspiring and transformative power-hour of enlightYOUment for everyone that wants to become center stage of their own lives, kick the baggage of their past to the curb and get in the full light of living their best life now!

So often in life we find ourselves in situations looking for that glimmer of light to lead the way out of the darkness; as without it we felt lost in our sense of navigation. It’s so wonderful when that light appears because it is not only the answer, but our usher and guide, so welcomed. There are times in life we need such a light, a guiding hand to usher us through unfamiliar terrain, one certainly being a terminal diagnosis. It can be scary, feel like a dark place. The options can feel so limited. Joining us to offer Some Light at the End, is Beth Cavenaugh, RN, BSN, CHPN, author of just that book. Beth is a certified hospice and palliative care nurse, Reiki practitioner, and educator with over 14 years of experience in caring for patients at the end of their life. Compassion, patient autonomy, and transparent communication are at the core of her care philosophy.
In this incredibly soul-enriching and deeply transparent hour, we discuss the all too familiar reality of grief, the many ways we can create meaningful end-of-life rituals, and we put the spotlight on hospice and how their care provided to patients can maximize quality of life and provide nurturing support for both the individual facing their own passing and their family.
Beth shares some of her many experiences with patients such as when the family may be ready for hospice and the patient isn’t and vice-versa, defines a “beautiful death,” what the role of being a caregiver is like, how to know when it is time for hospice support and even how the process works to make the decision to accept hospice services and so much more.
One thing is certain, more often than not when hospice nurses come into your home, facility or you to theirs, you’re going to feel like their “star camper of the week” because they love their patients and they lead with their hearts!
Beth’s book is a wonderful guide for those seeking Some Light at the End: Your Bedside Guide for Peaceful Palliative and Hospice Care. Beth’s experience and wisdom illuminates how we can find peace and beauty in death, instead of exhaustion and fear. Her book offers the empowerment everyone is seeking during the final stages of their beautiful life. You can purchase it on Amazon or her website at www.BethCavenaugh where I invite you to connect with her and learn more about her hospice workshops for groups and individuals, where she demystified death and dying so this powerful moment will be embraced as a normalized and celebrated event.
A must-listen power-hour of enlightyYOUment from beginning to end on a topic many of us can personally relate to and of course, know we will eventually face.

We carry out many roles in our lifetime and even throughout each and every day. Some of them we give little thought to, while others may require us to bring our A-Game or may even cause anxiety as we anticipate what’s ahead. That can certainly be the case when our role is the one of “patient.” When we access healthcare, we, as patients, find ourselves part of a care delivery system that also requires some patience on our part. While most health care experiences are hopefully positive ones, there are instances when care delivery falls short somewhere along the way. When this happens, it can add stress and even negatively impact our state of well-being.
That’s where this week’s guest, “Patient Lee” Tomlinson, Award-winning television producer, movie studio executive and owner, former professional athlete, speaker and TED Talk presenter, comes in to revamp the provider / patient experience. Author of the new book, Compassion Heals: From Self-Care to Healthcare, Lee Tomlinson’s life mission is to inspire healthcare professionals to return compassionate care to its rightful place at the forefront of modern healthcare. Doing so will benefit patients, their families, the bottom line; and perhaps most importantly, their often suffering, “burned-out” selves.
But finding this mission wasn’t even remotely easy – in fact, it’s a mission that found him.
Unfortunately, during a recent battle with State 3+ throat cancer, “Patient Lee” became painfully aware of the trauma caused by treatment lacking in compassion –that drove him to the darkest of depths. What saved him from suicide was a tiny, simple, yet powerful act of compassion delivered by a loving doctor and friend. “Patient Lee” is alive today due to the combination of a lifetime of extraordinarily effective medical treatment and deeply kind, compassionate care.
With his renewed zeal for life and newfound purpose, “Patient Lee” created the Compassion Heals Movement. This Movement is designed to reconnect America’s 20 million healthcare professionals with the compassion that got them into healthcare in the first place. Then, do whatever is necessary to prevent the “burn-out” that affects over 60% of these vital caretakers, rendering them unable to provide compassion to their patients, themselves, or anyone else. And finally, once healed of their own distress, to reignite these dedicated professionals, and inspire them to redouble their efforts in providing even more compassion than before – all to better heal their patients and the world.
Wearing nothing but a hospital gown, Lee has already told his story on more than 200 stages around the world! You can learn more about him, purchase his book and connect by visiting him at www.LeeTomlinson.com. Or join his Compassion Heals Movement at www.challenge.LeeTomlinson.com where he invites all of us to commit to purposely providing one additional compassionate act daily for themselves or others, and sharing them for 7 days on his Compassion Heals Challenge website. A must-listen, inspiring power-hour of enlightYOUment for everyone!

In this stereotype shattering Aging GreatFULLy power-hour of enlightYOUment, we welcome Dr. Katharine Esty, PhD, a practicing psychotherapist and author of Eightysomethings: A Practical Guide to Letting Go, Aging Well, and Finding Unexpected Happiness.
A widow, a mother, a grandmother, and an activist for aging well, Esty imparts incredible wisdom as she focuses on creating a new understanding of possibilities for living into older age. At 86 years young, she has learned first-hand the very wisdom she imparts and has many lessons on a variety of important issues, including dispelling myths about older age and a mission to end ageism, which limits and undermines the most experienced among us. Additionally, Dr. Esty feels it’s healthy to acknowledge what we’ve lost in the pandemic, and to grieve these losses—big and small—for our own welfare. But she also shares lessons for a post-pandemic life and how older adults can continue to live fulfilled, happy lives despite the challenges of aging and even COVID and in doing so, conveys positive messages of strength to all generations.
In this inspiring hour, Esty describes life challenges, including how loneliness can influence health outcomes and the effects of isolation. We also take a deep dive into the negative impact of ageism, often hidden in surprising places. She shares the details of forming relationships in life’s later years including views on sexual attraction and special connections regarding intimate and loving bonds.
Her most resonating message is one of resilience and bringing effervescence to our years as we learn we can have our cake and eat it too when it comes to growing older!

Everyone has a story but many of us choose to keep them in the quiet crevices of our memory bank. But what if you were inspired to share your story beyond your own cognitive archive and actually put pen to paper? What would your story or even stories be about? What would they say about you and the life you’ve lived? What messages might they hold for your loved ones or even the greater world, both today and for future generations to come?
In this episode of Aging GreatFULLy, we welcome special guest, Dr. Mary J. Cronin, an advisor for Write the Family, an intergenerational family storytelling program affiliated with Write the World for a powerful conversation on the potential capacity of sharing our untold stories. Be prepared to be inspired to begin your own storytelling journey or even write a memoir or micro-memoir, as Dr. Cronin addresses how engaging family members in telling stories can strengthen connections across generations, reassure younger family members when they hear how elders coped with disappointments and survived setbacks, create a strong and resilient sense of “intergenerational self” in young people, promote intergenerational communication and relationship building and more. We examine how something as simple as your story evokes memories and has the potential to bind generations together, promote healing, and even provide a sense of personal growth and newfound harmony and meaning-making.
Dr. Cronin is a Research Professor at Boston College of Management, and the President of 4Q Catalyst, a business strategy consulting firm. She serves as director of the Boston Authors Club, the Encore Boston Network, and the Center for Ageless Entrepreneurs, and has authored 12 books on managing digital innovation and social impact. Combining research from Emory University, along with her family storytelling expertise, Dr. Mary Cronin shares out how rebuilding resilience and self-confidence comes down to the often-over-looked tradition of sharing stories of elders – from both good times and bad. In the end, listeners will be moved to begin their own storytelling adventure of leaving a written legacy and begin the exciting journey of The Stories We Tell.
Dr. Cronin invites listeners to connect and join her Write the Family workshops by visiting www.writetheworld.com where anyone can experience the profound liberation and joy of storytelling, especially during these times of social isolation. This is a must-listen Aging GreatFULLy power-hour of enlightYOUment from beginning to end!

In this episode of Aging GreatFULLy we celebrate the gifts of growing older; including the value and beauty in wisdom shared across generations with special guest, author TV Host, Gregory Landsman, one of the world’s most noted wellness and beauty experts.
While some societal views continue to associate aging with loss, the reality is that aging offers many incredible gains. Gain of understanding, knowledge, wisdom, life experience, and so much more that lend itself to well-celebrating living.
Gregory shares how important his relationship was with his grandmother, and how she positively shaped his life early in his youth and how her lessons remain eternally with him into adulthood, long after her passing. We discuss the often-overlooked reality that everyone has untold wisdom that can be shared with those they love, the broader community, and even the greater world regarding life, love, lessons learned and important values that allow others to learn, heal and even grow. We revel the incredible role parents and grandparents play in the lives of those around them.
In sharing the stories that have shaped us, we create opportunities for connectedness, tether our generational ties and establish intergenerational bonds like no other. In a society that is moving fast, we remind of the importance of good, old-fashioned storytelling through simply sharing our own life stories and experience with those around us. The impact we can have towards inspiring and encouraging younger generations is awesomely incredible.
A strong voice for inclusion, Gregory Landsman shares with us his campaign to support children – one that celebrates and values their differences. And in doing so, he is donating the royalties from his book, A Lifetime of BEAUTY, towards this initiative. As a special treat, we actually share on air the audio version of the video for his book, A Prayer for Every Child, to create awareness. This book can be purchased on his website, Amazon and your favorite booksellers.

At a time when many are looking for stories and examples of individuals who have triumphed in adversity – for ways our own unique ingenuity, humor, resilience, and belief in ourselves can carry us out of the depths of despair back into the light of an exciting new life we bring you an unbelievable true story that will inspire and bring joy. We welcome renowned author, Joshua M. Green, to discuss his newest release, Unstoppable: Siggi B. Wilzig’s Astonishing Journey from Auschwitz Survivor to Wall Street Legend.
Unstoppable is a one-of a kind rags-to-riches adventure that follows a young boy from starvation on death marches, to dinner at the White House, and recounts the volcanic, miraculous life of Siggi Wilzig, who survived the Holocaust to become one of the biggest—and most unexpected—successes in postwar American business.
Greene shares a captivating story birthed from surprising and devastating circumstances that inspires the soul. Aristotle Onassis is quoted as saying, “It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.” And the story of Siggi B. Wilzig captures the essence of this quote remarkably. You won’t want to miss this moving and powerful hour that will captivate you emotionally as we discover the illuminating life of Siggi B. Wilzig, a force of nature: an immigrant who arrived in New York penniless, with no formal education, and proceeded to build a $4 billion oil-and-banking empire. But this is not just the story of financial success against all odds. It’s a survivor story in a category of its own – one that does not dwell on tragedy but rather celebrates human ingenuity and the power of faith. We learn about Siggi’s Lucky 11 Lessons for Success, stories of survival and his charismatic and force of nature personality, the power of human resilience, hope plus so much more!
A riveting hour from beginning to end with Joshua M. Green, a popular lecturer on Holocaust history and author whose biographies have sold more than a half-million copies worldwide. Green’s groundbreaking book on the Dachau war crimes trials, Justice at Dachau: The Trails of an American Prosecutor, was deemed “riveting—history writing at its best” by Douglas Brinkley, presidential historian for CNN. His renowned work on survival testimony, Witness: Voices from the Holocaust, was the basis of a feature documentary for national PBS and chosen as “One of the Best Holocaust Films” by Facets Media.

Midlife Crisis is a familiar term that conjures up all kinds of images and behaviors. But what if we flipped the narrative and instead, enjoyed Midlife NO Crisis?!
Enter age activist, Martha Beck Institute-Certified Life Coach, and heath coach, Lisa Levine, author of just that book, Midlife No Crisis: An Audacious Guide to Embracing 50 and Beyond. Lisa herself reached a turning point when she turned 50. Spending years in a successful career and even as an entrepreneur starting her own business, she always had a sneaking suspicion that something was calling her name. Getting through a diagnosis of Graves disease, infertility, and raising a daughter with Hashimoto’s Disease, sparked a passion within Levine to use food for healing. This was audacious for her because it required her to step out of her comfort zone and learn to enjoy veggies beyond carrot sticks.
And that bold move turned her “midlife meaning-of-life crisis” when she was tired of her career into taking a leap of faith into the coaching world. Becoming a coach met her vociferous craving for more meaning in her life and she discovered what she can bring to the table (literally and metaphorically).
In this inspiring hour, you’ll hear about her amazing journey, why she believes in living audaciously including five ways to do so! She discusses the value of a “stop doing” list, and how to step into midlife feeling empowered verses disenfranchised. Levine also shares why feeling “old” is inflammation in your body and mind and how to detox, including how change can be an opportunity for growth and so much more! You won’t want to miss the wisdom imparted guaranteed to empower everyone to embrace the years to come with vivacity!
Today, Levine enjoys sharing tools to help people understand and move beyond their fears, shift their perspectives and, first and foremost, how to truly pay attention to what they are thinking, feeling and doing to get un-stuck and move towards the lives they truly want to be living. Even if they don’t know what that looks like yet. Her book, Midlife No Crisis, is an empowering read, encouraging both women and men to do something different when what their doing is no longer working. Levine says the secret to owning this next chapter of your life: Finding the audaciousness in and around you.

Dr. Factora shares what it was like working through the pandemic as a geriatric specialist. And we talk about the concerns regarding the new strains of Covid.
It’s definitely a power-hour of enlightYOUment that delivers important educational information we all are seeking with a guest every listener will treasure and appreciate. Dr. Factora completed his Medical School at the Ohio State University College of Medicine and Public Health, then internship and residency in internal medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

His areas of interest include Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias functional impairment, and Elder Abuse.

You may have heard the voice of today’s guest before … but these days she’s using it to echo a different message, inviting everyone to Reclaim Your Right to Grow Old!
Once dubbed “the most heard voice in America” by New York Times, Kathleen O’Brien was the voice of directory assistance throughout the 1980’s and 90’s. If you dialed 411 at any time from a landline, it was her voice you heard. And while technology and times have changed over the decades, with an abundance of education, research and a career portfolio under her belt, at the proud age of 72, Kathleen has a timeless message of wisdom to share as author of her new book, “Reclaim Your Right to Grow Old: How to Immerse Yourself In, Be Curious About, and Celebrate Life’s Most Important Stage.” In her book, Kathleen takes a deep dive into societies misguided attitude towards aging and highlights all of the wonders that lie ahead for those who dare to grow old.
Reclaim Your Right to Grow Old is filled with what might seem like surprising advice in today’s seemingly overwhelmingly anti-aging culture. Kathleen offers many messages including why fear can be a great motivator, why she believes we should be proud to reveal our age, her views on the marketing machine behind the beauty and wellness industry and how that is impacting our views on aging as well as respect for older adults and even seeing time and death as your ally. She won’t tell you to age gracefully – but she is all about Aging GreatFULLy and even celebrating your eccentricities!
It’s a must-listen power-hour of enlightYOUment you won’t want to miss! You can connect with Kathleen O’Brien at www.GrowOldBeHappy.com where you can also purchase her book, Reclaim Your Right to Grow Old, also available on Amazon, or your favorite booksellers.

Home may be where the heart is … but perhaps each home takes on its own symbolic heart too.
In this episode of Aging GreatFULLy we put the spotlight on HOME. Specifically, The Heart of Home, as we welcome special guest, Merrily Orsini, for home care conversations every listener will truly appreciate! Merrily Orsini is Founder and Board Chair of corecubed, and considered a thought leader in the in-home care services industry.

In this must-listen power-hour of enlightYOUment, Orsini shares why home care isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach and explains why choices for aging-in-place are so complicated. But, despite the challenges, Orsini provides a simple overview to begin the decision-making process as to when, where, and how to begin making decisions, either for yourself or on behalf of a loved one.
We also discuss intergenerational living, healthcare at home, the importance of a social infrastructure or support system, why health care at home isn’t the model, and how assistive technology is changing the way we can continue to live and thrive independently, helping parents with Alzheimer’s or dementia, telehealth, aging in place, long-term care insurance and so much more!

But most of all, hearts are tender, whole and complete when it comes to home. So home is ultimately where we most want to be, wherever that is – perhaps even ever-changing. But we do know that home is a place we feel loved, secure, peaceful and happy. So, while our home may change throughout -- and even over the years – perhaps our primary goal is to ensure wherever we go, or the decisions we make on behalf of others, is to live in a place we can call “The Heart of Home.”

Orsini’s business ownership began with a geriatric care management model in-home care agency, a venture that garnered her the prestigious Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award in 1996. She is the past Chair of the Private Duty Homecare Association of America and has served on the boards of the National Association for Home Care and Hospice and the National Association of Geriatric Care Managers (now Aging Life Care Professionals). In 2017, Orsini won a Lifetime Achievement in Business Award, sponsored by the Stevie Awards for Women in Business. She is also the leader, creator and host of the Help Choose Home Podcast, which focuses on educating the masses on how to and when to choose healthcare at home in later life. You can learn more about her by visiting her at www.helpchoosehome.com.

It’s been a question since the dawn of time. And truth be told, one you have probably pondered many times in your own life. What REALLY happens when we DIE?
Depending on beliefs, faith, and views, our ideas about this, can certainly vary.
But imagine being part of an experience that you never saw coming. One that led you down a path of discovery, which put uncovering the answers to this question to the forefront of your life.
That’s exactly what happened with Mike Anthony, who was a bartender at a busy Broadway show when just before intermission he received the call that his father had suddenly died. This was a devastating loss to his entire family.
However, when a stranger’s unpredictable phone call delivers a message that Mike’s dad had contacted her from “the other side,” it kicks off a chain of events that entirely changed Mike’s family’s perspective on life, death and the transcendent nature of love.
In this episode of Aging GreatFULLy, we welcome professional actor, Mike Anthony, author of “Love, Dad: How My Father Died…Then Told Me He Didn’t,” who details his incredible and true story as he pulls himself out of despair, and alongside his family, finds a true connection and communication with his dad once again. Given the transformative nature of the experience, he couldn’t help but share what happened, hoping to bring others the peace he’d discovered. So compelling is his story, that Netflix chose to feature it in three episodes of their series, Surviving Death.
His eye-opening book pushes the boundaries of what we think we know, unlocking the door to new and exhilarating possibilities. What might it be like to know that death is truly not the end?
A must-listen and riveting power-hour of enlightYOUment for everyone who is interested in this topic, has questioned what happens after we die, has had an after-death connection or experienced an unexplained phenomenon, paranormal activity or is interested in psychic connections with those departed as it relates to grief and even healing -- as Mike Anthony candidly shares his personal experiences and notes current research in some of these areas as well.

We can’t see them, we often don’t even think about them … but make no mistake about it – our telomeres TELL a lot about our health, wellness and longevity. Join us for this incredibly insightful and educational episode as we welcome guest, Dr. Darrel Misak, ND, RPh, a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine, Licensed Pharmacist, who runs a private naturopathic practice in Pittsburg whose passion shines through vividly as we take a deep dive what he calls “his continued search for truth in health” which directed him to naturopathic medicine.
Dr. Misak answers the questions we have, including why there’s so many allergies today, how stress impacts our DNA, how energy moves through the body, what affects aging, how he came to discover and create Vi-Telometry, plus so much more in this must-listen power-hour of enlightYOUment!
After receiving his degree in Pharmacy, Dr. Misak gained years of university hospital clinical pharmacy experience at Duke University Medical Center with a primary focus in Oncology and General Medicine. As he began to realize the pitfalls of traditional medicine, on his quest for truth, he moved his family across the country to Oregon, where he received his Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine degree from the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in 2000, while learning compounding pharmacy at Lloyd Center Pharmacy during medical school. Dr. Misak does regular YouTube shows teaching quantum bio-electric health concepts, has been published multiple times in Naturopathic Doctor News and Review (NDNR), and does regular radio or talks teaching an analytical natural approach to health. His pharmacy and naturopathic background with understanding quantum bio-electric concepts led to the creation of Vi-Telometry.

Years ago, Jean made the conscious decision to live a life of fun, spirit and style, and she’s never looked back! Jean Ketcham is the Founder of Aging But Dangerous.
Aging But Dangerous is a movement for women focusing on healthy aging and living dangerously with fun, spirit and style! Aging But Dangerous inspires women ages 50+ to control their destinies, develop their limitless potential and to empower women to take control of the aging process. For those who seek adrenalin living and purpose-filled, passion-infused life like no other, Aging But Dangerous is for you!
But it’s more than just fun and adventure; it’s also about self-care and deep conversations about important matters that are often not discussed. And it’s about empowering one another. Showing up in a time of need...collective support. And even proving to women themselves, when they need it most sometimes, that they are a force to be reckoned with! This hour is full of wisdom, courage, and being empowered about growing older! It’s also an authentic conversation about living regret free, taking ownership of your self-worth, and facing the not so glamourous facts of aging and choosing to make rest of the years the best of the years in spite of it. Jean will share some incredible sage advice, reflections and candor you will absolutely love! But one thing is undoubtedly certain, Aging Rebels, you will be called towards Aging But Dangerous yourself … and while danger is usually something to be avoided, I’ll give you the green light to walk—no run—towards this particular one!

Life is full of NEXTS … but some are truly a crossroad that will determine our entire trajectory and that single choice can rest in how our life will unfold. In this powerfully liberating Aging GreatFULLy episode, we welcome guest Dr. David Phelps, DDS, author of WHAT’S YOUR NEXT? The Blueprint for Creating Your Freedom Lifestyle.
Dr. Phelps experienced his own pinnacle moment of truth, deliberating his own “What’s Your Next? intersection, in his real-life emotional experience of standing over the gurney of his 12-year-old daughter as she was about to be wheeled into the operating room for a liver transplant. He found himself overcome with a sense of helplessness. And worse, knowing she would need his loving support and care in recuperation with the demands of living with acute lymphocytic leukemia. But his real-life reality was that he was trapped by a business that kept him wedded to a treadmill that allowed him no time to support her. And it was in that moment that he made the decision of His Next – stepping out of his comfort zone and on a leap of faith, choosing his Freedom Lifestyle.
That day of his wakeup call, he made the critical decision to build a life that afforded him the freedom of time to be with his daughter instead of a traditional path that would “give away” his time to a career and business that he’d spent building for decades.
He pursued a path of self-knowledge, relationship building and informed capital acquisition that resulted in such success that others asked him for guidance. Out of a meeting in his living room, with a number of friends who wanted to know how he had untangled himself from his professional practice to achieve a lifestyle of time-freedom – came Freedom Founders – an organization that helps others achieve the Freedom Lifestyle. Today, David is a nationally recognized speaker on creating Freedom, helps other professionals become dreamers, then strategically manifest those dreams into Freedom. He authors a monthly newsletter, "Path to Freedom" and hosts "The Dentist Freedom Blueprint" podcast.
In helping others determine WHAT’S THEIR NEXT, David has blazed a trail and created a community of people who are supporting each other and planning consciously for a life that affords them time to spend with their families, with their special interests or mentoring and serving others in ways that creates meaning and fulfillment.

Gregory shares that with knowledge and know how anyone can counteract the skin stress that creates premature aging and take years off the face naturally. He is known globally for showing people how to do this with food, natural skincare, breathing and a variety of easy lifestyle changes that help to de-stress their skin and as a result, they naturally age less.

Have there been times in your life you feel food is the enemy in your battle to get fit and lose those extra pounds? What if you could make a Peace trEATy with food? We love food! It’s nourishing, vital and of course, enjoyed in so many ways! So, let’s make peace with and sense of this important part of our lives once and for all!
Join us for an empowering episode as guest, Todd Nyholm, author of “Ah, Food, Why Do You Trouble My So Much?” shares why food isn’t the enemy in your battle to lose weight and why you don’t need another diet… but instead, you need your food to work for you, rather than against you. As a somatic therapist and holistic educator, Nyholm helps people discover how to reprogram their perception about food, nutrition and most importantly, themselves.
He reminds us that diets aren’t one size fits all and often are not connected to one’s willpower. Nyholm says diets fail because people have not changed the underlying mental, emotional and physical programming that drives their behavior. Discover why it’s important to pull back the layers of why we do what we do when it comes to food and drink and in terms of “feeding” our lives, including habits and motivations from all the way back to when we were kids!
Nyholm’s book isn’t a book about diets. It’s a book about discovering and working with your relationship with food in real time. For many, the subject of food and eating has left knots of emotional wounds. But through a series of questions and answers, readers are able to discover a lot of insight into the reasons behind their food behaviors. And with the answers revealed, success can certainly follow! For more information about Todd Nyholm, to purchase his book, or connect with him, visit him at www.Nytality.com.

This led her to develop and use a protocol of ketogenic diet with targeted therapeutic fasting to significantly impact her response to chemotherapy. Inspired by her own journey, Martha is dedicated to help others see cancer differently – as an experience that will give them strength, wisdom, and more love for their body and life than ever before.

Have you dreamed of Kicking Pain in the pASSt?
In this episode of Aging GreatFULLy, we combat PAIN like never before because if we’re going to get in the full light of living our best life now, we don’t want pain to impede our best of plans. And while pain definitely can be a quality-of-life spoiler, not all pain is bad. Join this amazing conversation with special guest David E. Frost, a NFPT Certified Master Fitness Trainer, rowing Coach and award-winning adjunct professor, as we take a deep dive into this topic that impacts most of us and certainly more so as we grow older. Dave helps us kick pain not only in the pASSt -- but in some cases, perhaps bid it farewell. Together, we'll discover the top five chronic PAIN’s experienced by older adults, including what we can do to prevent, remediate, or mitigate some of the effects, the key differences between acute and chronic pain, the two dimensions of pain, how pain subjectively and objectively changes as we age, and surprisingly, even some potential benefits of pain. Dave speaks of the “Art of the Possible” and in this inspiring episode, listeners will be encouraged to realize what is within their control. He reminds us there is so much we can do to not only make sense of our pain, but to take charge of it. From sensible footwear, smart phones, intimacy, sleep, posture, too much sitting, diet, exercise, controlling stress, and many other choices well within our command, we can absolutely kick much of our pain in the pASSt!
In a world of polypharmacy, we discuss viable alternatives to painkillers, NSAIDS, and other popular prescriptions, and how our bodies have their own internal storehouse of pain relievers, otherwise known as oxytocin. And of course, it wouldn’t be the Aging GreatFULLy show if we didn’t discuss the importance of attitude, gratitude and happiness and the essential role they play regarding our experience with pain and positive aging.
Dave Frost is passionate about adding life to our years, and doing so as pain free as possible. As author of Kaboomer: Thriving and Striving Into Your Nineties, he is also Founder and leads Well Past Forty LLC, to actively promote both wellness and fitness for athletes of all ages and abilities. He specializes in nutrition, endurance and strength training for people who deal with cancer, MS, PD, CP, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome.

It's finally here, happy New Year 2021! There’s so much to celebrate and this year the focus is on YOU! But instead of making a long list of New Year’s resolutions, this year, we’re doing something different on the Aging GreatFULLy show. Don’t miss this power-hour of enlightYOUment, as we welcome returning guest, Brendon Watt, Speaker and Best-Selling author of Relationships: Are You Sure You Want One, for a conversation on how anyone can reinvent themselves, how to end self-sabotage for good and even how to come back from rock bottom!
So, this year, we’re not going to make grandiose and lofty goals only to put ourselves under undue pressure of a pass / failure come March. Nor will we sign up to subject ourselves to the stress each day of having not been “good enough” and get caught up in that underachievement cycle that leads to self-sabotage day after day and often goes on for years—or even a lifetime.
But instead, this year, we’re choosing New Year's ResoYOUtions.
ResoYOUtions puts us in the driver’s seat of our own lives. ResoYOUtions are about personal empowerment … as we embrace reinventing what already exists. Accepting the awesome us that is; and deciding to make some positive improvements through asking ourselves the right questions. But the most important part of New Year's resoYOUtions is the answers we reveal to those questions we’ll be asking ourselves. Brendon shares that when we go to questioning, and start making different choices, the answers begin to appear.
As Brendon Watt shares, often our life has been the culmination of other people’s expectations and until we stop living out of other people’s hopes and aspirations for us and get real about what we truly want, we are challenged in finding true happiness. Having himself been in a place of rock bottom, and knowing he had to make a change, Brendon understands first hand what it is like to feel hopeless and seek change. A powerful show and perfect one to begin the New Year! If you want to be inspired as we begin 2021, this is a must-listen episode giving you the tools to create change and the life you want! Brendon uses his experiences to lead others to success, inspiring people to know they are just one choice away from change. You can connect with Brendon at www.BrendonWatt.com.

Show host, gerontologist Holley Kelley, has written special and heartwarming Christmas stories just for listeners!
Kelley shares the importance of hope, faith, love, resilience, gratitude, happiness, and joy. And how miracles can appear out of nowhere, in surprising places, at unsuspecting times -- if we choose to see them as such. In the end, we are reminded that regardless of what happens in life, some core things remain ever constant.
Kelley reminds us that Christmas time offers a great opportunity to open our heart a little more. To extend a little more love. And create room for a little more light. To let go of things that weigh down our soul. Perhaps even make amends. And to believe in the possibility of miracles.
Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, her tender and heartfelt stories will leave listeners realizing the most important elements in life are the things money can’t buy. And that we can change our own life and the lives of others by simple acts of loving kindness at Christmastime and always.

In this week’s Aging GreatFULLy power-hour of enlightYOUment, we take you on a surprising adventure of insight and illumination of the spiritual kind! Join us, as we bring you a sought-after guest who is known for being courageous and fearless in faith regarding his destiny towards breaking through every level taking him to a Permanent State of Liberation and Eternal Peace.
If you have ever longed for knowing more peace, bliss, love, wonder and oneness, then Dr. Gabriel Cousens invites you to follow the trail he has to adventurously blazed!
Known worldwide as the renowned “Physician of the Soul” he invites others on a journey to embark to a place that might surprise and even perplex… that is – Into the Nothing! And that is also the title of his latest book, Into the Nothing: A Spiritual Autobiography, in which he reveals the mystical, wild ride he personally took as he awakened to living from the soul that is beyond the body and the mind.
Today, this 77-year old holistic physician, rabbi, yogi, spiritual mystic, psychiatrist, family therapist, vital-@-any-age advocate, humanitarian and peace ambassador, walks the planet in the state of Eternal Presence seeing the emanating light from all things, and yet living in the very real world where his wood works and spiritual guidance change daily lives. And while he may be 77 years old, he will personally go on record and say, he is growing younger. In fact, he is “youthing” and his body is in outstanding shape, moreso than that of his younger years when he was Captain on the undefeated 1964 Amherst College Football team. He is proof that with increasing chronological age, one can get physically stronger, more flexible and have increased physical endurance, and at age 77, he can do 1,000 push-ups a day! Furthermore, his work in the area of reversing diabetes will amaze!
He lives, as he says, in the world between Nothing (the world beyond time) and Something (the temporal world) and experiences a fully integrated life in multiple dimensions—happy, joyful, grateful, loving and peaceful without any exterior reason (non casual) because that is the nature of the primordial consciousness. There is the found of true freedom.
A fascinating hour as Dr. Cousens shares what it means to be a wild, liberated mystic, what the many cultures he has immersed himself in has taught him, what the six foundations are and so much more!

From a very young age we are very impressionable and we carry those experiences forward as we grow older. Depending on our circumstances, and the way we interpret them, that can help or hinder the way encounter life as adults. Add a dose of expectations to the mix and we just might have a recipe for disappointment. Enter Rewire expert, Bob Doyle to the rescue! Join this fascinating conversation as we welcome special guest Bob Doyle, who was a featured thought leader in the world-wide phenomenon film, The Secret, and the recently released film, How Thoughts Become Things, as we talk about how rewiring actually works, and even more exciting how the things you want most in life begin to show up and manifest.
And we also talk about how our lens on life can get foggy and distorted over time and what we can do to clear things up. Bob shares the important role of mindfulness and gratitude as well as the powerful impact of negativity. More recently, Bob’s attention has shifted from the metaphysical aspects of Law of Attraction or “reality creation” process, to a more grounded and biological look at what controls our experiences…our brain.
Bob believes that an understanding of how our brain is processing our experience of reality empowers us to create NEW realities with a simple decision – and you’re not required to believe any “law of attraction” ideas if you’re not comfortable with metaphysical conversations.
This is a perfect conversation as we bring the year 2020 to a close and embark on the coming year and envision all we wish to create moving forward. If you have wishes, aspirations or a life you wish to create, this show is a must listen as we talk about a “no-genie needed” wish fulfillment and manifestation kind of living your be life now!
