      <description>In this episode, I'm discussing a serious public health issue that existed long before Covid-19: Loneliness. Today, we're addressing loneliness as it shows up in older age, what we can do in our daily lives to assist those who are experiencing loneliness, and what we can do if we are personally experiencing loneliness.

      <title>26: Aging, Body Image, and Eating Disorders in Older Women</title>
      <description>In this episode, I dig into the complicated relationship between women and their bodies. The relationship may become more complicated as we age out of society's prevailing notions of physical beauty, or maybe the relationship becomes clearer and more simple. Negative body image can lead to mental health issues, physical health issues, and eating disorders. As I researched for this episode, I found information about eating disorders in women over 50.

      <title>BONUS REPLAY: 5 Ways You Might Be Holding Yourself Back</title>
      <description>In this episode, I am sharing details about some ways you might be holding yourself back from living vibrantly and chasing your big dreams, and some activities or practices to help you overcome those obstacles.

You might not know what you want to do

You might be buying into ageist norms and stereotypes

You might think your dreams are preposterous

You might not think you have what it takes

You might not have a support system encouraging you to make your dreams come true


Check out the Guardian article I referenced in this episode:

      <title>18: Serving a Niche Business with Cindy Hedges</title>
      <description>Sometimes we don't find what we were meant to do until later in life, and when we do we surprise ourselves with how good we are at it. This is what happened to Cindy Hedges when her husband convinced her to open Bourbon Boot Supply, where she found serving a niche and providing great customer service was something she excelled at. She joins me today as we talk all about what she's learned about opening a business later in life.

      <title>16: Daily and Ceremonial Rituals and Aging</title>
      <description>In this episode, I’m exploring the concept of rituals - what they are, the different types of rituals, and the purposes they serve. Most rituals we see in Western culture revolve around younger people, which poses the question: how can we incorporate rituals related to aging? I hope this episode gives you some ideas about how you can create some rituals of your own, both daily and ceremonial, to celebrate the passing through new thresholds of your life.

      <title>14: Getting Ready for Retirement</title>
      <description>This week, I am joined by my friend and special podcast guest, Chris. She retired exactly one day before we sat down to record this interview, and I'm so glad we got to talk about this big life transition while it was still fresh. In this episode, we discuss why she chose to retire, what she's excited about, and what fears she has about retirement.

      <title>11: The Most Important Lessons I've Learned After Turning 50</title>
      <description>I got to sit down with my 95-year-old friend Zell this week, and I've included a great clip of our conversation in today's episode. After we talked, I started reflecting on the biggest lessons I've learned since turning 50. These are my top 4 lessons learned. I'd love to hear yours!

This week's resources:
Brown, B. (2015). Rising Strong. Vermilion.
Adventure and wrinkles abound as Grandma Joy prepares to visit her 63rd U.S. national park - Roadtrippers

      <title>08: The Epidemic of Loneliness </title>
      <description>In this episode, I'm discussing a serious public health issue that existed long before Covid-19: Loneliness. Today, we're addressing loneliness as it shows up in older age, what we can do in our daily lives to assist those who are experiencing loneliness, and what we can do if we are personally experiencing loneliness.

      <title>03: 5 Ways You Might Be Holding Yourself Back</title>
      <description>In this episode, I am sharing details about some ways you might be holding yourself back from living vibrantly and chasing your big dreams, and some activities or practices to help you overcome those obstacles.

You might not know what you want to do

You might be buying into ageist norms and stereotypes

You might think your dreams are preposterous

You might not think you have what it takes

You might not have a support system encouraging you to make your dreams come true


Check out the Guardian article I referenced in this episode:
https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2021/apr/07/own-your-grey-hair-and-be-powerful-women-on-no-longer-dyeing-their-hair
