Who decided there’s an expiration date on becoming who you’re meant to be?
At 50, I became a mother.

At 80, I’m still evolving – personally, professionally, and emotionally.

And right now, I’m facing one of life’s hardest transitions: supporting my husband through memory decline while holding onto my own sense of identity and purpose.

On the Purpose & Passion Podcast, we get into the conversations most people avoid:
-Why traditional retirement planning falls short
-How to navigate caregiving without losing yourself
-And why your later years should be about growth—not shrinking

Here’s what I know for sure:
There is no “too late.”
There is only the moment you decide to move forward.

If you’re standing at a crossroads, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, we “shake the snowglobe” and stir up the assumptions, routines, and roles that can quietly shape our lives for years. I loved this conversation because it reminded me that when we pause long enough to look beyond the obvious, we often uncover passions, strengths, and possibilities we may have been overlooking.

If you’ve ever wondered what comes next, or felt like you were ready for a fresh perspective, this episode is for you.

Aging is about taking time to reflect on our life and being open to new possibilities. 🌟

I recently joined Nancy Griffin on the Glowing Older podcast to talk about embracing the fluidity of aging and designing a life that still sparks meaning and joy. We explored how mindset, community, and intentional planning can help us face transitions with grace rather than fear.

Retirement isn’t the end of purpose, it’s an opportunity to rewire and redefine what matters most. Let’s shift the conversation from “getting older” to “growing older together.”

In my latest podcast episode with Kerry Hannon, fear about outliving your money and fear about your health came up over and over.

Kerry shared insights from her new book Retirement Bites: A Gen X Guide to Securing Your Financial Future. We talked about why so many Gen Xers feel “woefully unprepared” for retirement, how 401(k)s and job changes left people to figure things out on their own, and why credit card and student loan debt can feel like a “dream killer” when you’re trying to imagine your future.

The good news? Kerry and I also explored very practical steps – like doing a real budget, using retirement calculators instead of guessing a “magic number,” and getting help from a holistic financial planner – to move from anxiety to a clearer plan.

Well… I did it. I turned 80.

As this birthday approached, I found myself looking back—at the moves across the country, growing up in the shadow of war, the early awareness of antisemitism and racism, the protests in the 60s, the feminist awakenings in the 70’s, the love, the losses, and the reinventions. So many life lessons!

Reflection isn’t always easy. Some memories bring pride and tenderness. Some still bring ache. But honoring all of it, the light and the shadow, has helped me feel whole.

What I know at 80 is this:
Gratitude matters. Forgiveness matters. Self-compassion matters. And staying engaged with life matters. Also, history echoes. The calls for justice and dignity we heard decades ago keep rising again. That humbles me. It also strengthens my resolve.

I’m grateful to every person who has walked beside me—my family, friends, colleagues, and clients. If you’ve been part of my journey in any way, thank you.
If you’re willing, I invite you to reflect on your own life. What has shaped you? What are you still becoming?

Yikes. I’m 80.

As I approached this milestone, I found myself doing what I often invite others to do, pausing to reflect. I looked back at the good, the pain, the joy, and everything in between. Reflection isn’t always comfortable. But when we allow ourselves to honor the full arc of our lives—the triumphs, the missteps, and the unexpected turns—we can feel more whole.

Eighty years have taught me this:
Life brings joy and sorrow, growth and grace. We don’t get to rewrite the past. But we do get to choose how we learn from it, how we integrate it, and how we continue becoming.

I feel deep gratitude for the people who have walked beside me—personally and professionally. If you’re reading this and you’ve been part of my journey in any way, please know how much your presence, encouragement, and partnership have meant to me.

With each passing year, gratitude matters more. So does forgiveness. So does self-compassion.

If you’re willing, I invite you to pause and reflect on your own life arc. What has been shaped in you over the years? Who are you still becoming?

We’ve added 30 years to human life expectancy in just over a century—not a crisis, a victory. Our children and grandchildren are likely to live much longer lives.
However, our systems and stories haven’t caught up; older age is still seen as decline instead of a stage of personal and societal meaning where people who want to contribute actually have pathways to do so. It’s time to change the general narrative on aging so that longer lives come with real roles, structures, and communities that let older adults matter, belong, and add value.

In my most recent Interview with Dr. Linda P. Fried, we discussed this topic and so much more about how science is proving the changes we are making in our older age.

In my latest podcast episode with Dr. Linda P. Fried, she talks about her medical background and digs into the science of aging. She explains the benefits aging can bring and ways older generations are important and useful.

One key takeaway was a longer life doesn’t mean “less to offer”, it often means more. Over time we accrue knowledge, problem solving skills, emotional balance, and hard‑earned wisdom that younger generations simply haven’t had time to build yet. Older adults are uniquely positioned to mentor, mediate conflict, and help tackle complex challenges like education, community cohesion, and even climate. Imagine what happens when we actually design roles that use that expertise.

Lately, I’ve been thinking about what it really means to romance life in our later years. Not in a sentimental way, but in the way Bruce talks about falling in love with the world again after cancer, heart events, and even “dying” on a gym treadmill and being brought back to life. His story is such a powerful reminder that we can choose to say “yes” to renewal, creativity, and curiosity—whether that’s going back to school for an MFA, obsessing over fairy shrimp in a backyard vernal pool, or returning to poetry with a deeper reverence for simply being alive.

Hosting this conversation moved me personally, because it speaks to the possibility of reinventing ourselves at any age, and to the quiet, daily practices—like paying attention, creating, noticing beauty—that help us romance life even as we face illness, loss, and a very broken world. If you need a hopeful, thoughtful companion for your own “second (or third, or fourth) act,” I’d love for you to spend time with this episode.

When Bruce told the story behind his poem “My Hips Are Not Her Hips,” inspired in part by Lucille Clifton’s famous celebration of her own hips—and his very real, very painful orthopedic diagnosis—I couldn’t help but laugh and nod along. Aging bodies tell the truth: about wear and tear, about limits, about pain, but also about how fiercely we still want to move, create, love, and show up for our lives.

In this episode, we talk about “hips” as more than anatomy: they become a metaphor for living honestly in later life—owning what hurts, what’s changing, and what’s still possible, from cortisone shots to new chapters in progress that make us feel vividly alive. If you or your clients are navigating the realities of an aging body while still feeling so much life inside, this conversation will resonate. Our hips don’t lie—and neither does the desire to keep going.
