Do you ever feel lost? Forgotten? Invisible?

I have and I'm betting you have too. I'm reminded of the saying that the only feeling worse than being alone is being alone in a crowded room.
In this episode, I traverse the oft-overlooked landscape of the aging baby boomer generation, I open up about the bittersweet journey of feeling sidelined in a society that races towards the new, frequently sidelining the old. Will we lose stories untold and wisdom gained, becoming a "forgotten generation,"? Our rich history is in danger of being drowned out by the noise of progress.
Invisible? Forgotten? How do we help each other? And why does the answer to our senior housing problem lie in an 80's sitcom?

We're asking the questions and looking for answers. Join us. My voice is your voice.

Imagine hitting rewind on the Tony Awards, reveling in the unscripted magic that unfolds when the writers are away. That's just the prologue to our heartfelt salute to the iconic John Romita Sr., whose pencil strokes on Spider-Man comics left an indelible ink on my childhood. Venturing further, we tackle the quirky societal waltz of 'acting your age,' and I can't help but wonder, who exactly choreographed these steps? We wrap this segment with a tale from a sweet 16 that's more than just cake and candles—it's a snapshot of the milestones that frame our ever-ticking timeline.

Enter the world of Dan Harris, where wit meets wisdom and a touch of humor unveils a path to mental wellness. His candid confession of a career-crumbling panic episode and the subsequent journey into meditation opens up a refreshing narrative on self-improvement. It's not about becoming a Zen master overnight, but discovering the joy in inching towards being just 10% happier. Join me as I share the simple, yet life-altering meditation techniques that Dan advocates, promising a dash of serenity in the daily hustle. Tune in for an episode that's part memoir, part guidebook, and entirely geared toward embracing the beauty of our collective evolution.
