I’ve had many incredible women join me in conversation for many Loving Later Life episodes.

As you may remember, with each guest, I ask the same 3 questions at the end of each conversation:

1. What for you have been the most rewarding things about getting older?

2. What are some of the most important lessons you have learned in your life.

3. With all that you have learned, what life advice would you pass along?

In this anniversary episode I put together a highlight reel of their answers, taking one question at a time.

Listening to this again you will be reminded of the wisdom they shared. There is gold in them there conversations!

Take a listen and share it forward!

Encore encore Rachel Wright! This episode is hugely important to me as Rachel’s mom.

I am still getting messages as to how it has helped others by giving them an understanding about other lifestyle choices…

“I was SO GRATEFUL to be able to step into a conversation (on this topic) with some knowledge provided so candidly and thoroughly by you and Rachel!“

My daughter Rachel MA, LMFT is a distinguished psychotherapist and is non-monogamous/polyamorous... and she and her partners Yair and Ashley just had a beautiful baby boy.

In this episode, we talk about how to have tough conversations and improve communication in all of your relationships.

The 2nd half is about her non-monogamous/polyamorous life, its challenges, misconceptions and much more.

Someone recently said to me that they listened to the first part of the episode but stopped listening to the rest about non-monogamy because it’s not how this person chooses to live.

While this lifestyle isn’t for everyone it is so important to learn about it.

Why?

In our current divisive climate we all know that when there is ignorance, there is judging and othering, which can lead to bullying, violence, loss of rights, freedoms and isolation.

We need more understanding, kindness and love in this world and it starts with getting to know each other better.

I hope you’ll listen to this episode at least once and share it to help open more minds and hearts and hopefully encourage understanding and acceptance for all kinds of love.

What is Ageism? Ableism? What are everyday ageism’s? What can we do to liberate ourselves from the challenges of aging?

I am so excited for you to hear this conversation that wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t said what the f*ck! I’ve always said, it never hurts to ask, and I am walking that walk these days.

I first saw Ashton Applewhite on CBS Sunday Morning and I was pulled to reach out to even though I felt it would be a long shot.

Loving Later Lifer’s, I am beyond happy to say that she said yes.

Ashton is an internationally recognized expert on ageism, and the author of This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism.

A co-founder of the Old School Anti-Ageism Clearinghouse, she speaks widely at venues that have included the TED mainstage, the United Nations and is at the forefront of the emerging movement to raise awareness of ageism and to dismantle it.

In 2022 the Decade of Healthy Aging, a UN + WHO collaboration, named Ashton one of the Healthy Aging 50: fifty leaders transforming the world to be a better place to grow older.

I know without a doubt that you will find this a compelling conversation. Treat yourself to this 47-minute episode to gain awareness about this ‘ism’ that can be used as a catalyst for change.
