Living longer is the new normal when you stop treating retirement like “the end” and start treating it like a whole new adulthood.

In my latest episode of Revolutionize your Retirement Radio podcast, Helen Hirsh Spence talks about the idea of “longevity literacy” and a “longevity mindset,” noting that we now live 20–30 years longer than previous generations and need a new life map beyond the old “learn–earn–retire” model.

In this episode you’ll also hear stories of:
-Trekking the Inca Trail and climbing Kilimanjaro in her late 50s
-Volunteering around the world in her 60s
-Creating programs that help older adults reset their thinking and reclaim purpose

Could Older People Be the Cavalry Coming Over the Hill?

January 27, 2026 | 12:00 noon EDT (11:00 CT | 10:00 MT | 9:00 PT) Free Zoom Interview.

There's still time to join us for a timely and thought-provoking conversation with Dr. Linda P. Fried, MD, PhD, a global leader in epidemiology, geriatrics, and the science of healthy aging. Dr. Fried has devoted her distinguished career to reimagining aging as a powerful asset for individuals and for society. She is Director of the Robert N. Butler Columbia Aging Center, Dean Emerita of the Mailman School of Public Health, and Professor of Epidemiology and Medicine at Columbia University.

In this conversation, Dr. Fried will explore critical questions shaping the future of healthy longevity, including:

-How older adults acquire values and wisdom that matter deeply—to themselves and to society

-The growing mismatch between older people’s capabilities, aspirations, and the structures meant to engage them

-Why changes in civic and social infrastructure are essential if older adults are to become a transformative force for good

-How collective action can help unlock the full potential of longer lives

At a time when populations are aging rapidly, Dr. Fried challenges us to rethink what’s possible, and how older adults can be seen not as a burden, but as the “cavalry coming over the hill.”

Recently I sat down and talked with Dr. Connie Zweig who has spent decades helping people deal with their inner life and navigating struggles with relationships and the emotional weight of our times. She offers the helpful framework of "shadow work" as a way of understanding the hidden parts of ourselves that shape how we think, feel, and act.

Connie is a retired Jungian therapist and the author of Meeting the Shadow, Romancing the Shadow, The Inner Work of Age: Shifting from Role to Soul, and Meeting the Shadow on the Spiritual Path.

If you’re curious about your own inner life and perhaps feeling disturbed by what’s happening in the world, I think you’ll find this conversation both grounding and hopeful. I hope you'll listen and share it with someone who might also benefit from it.

Hosted by:
Dr. Dorian Mintzer

Featured Guest:
Dr. Kerry Burnight
How can we move beyond simply adding years to our life to truly thriving as we age?
In this inspiring conversation, Dr. Kerry Burnight, known affectionately as Dr. Kerry, will share groundbreaking insights from her new book, Joyspan: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life’s Second Half. Drawing from decades of research on aging, resilience, and joy, as well as her lived experience with her 95-year-old mother, Dr. Kerry invites us to reimagine aging not as decline, but as a vibrant opportunity for connection, purpose, and growth.
She introduces a powerful new concept—your “Joyspan”—the measure of your life’s quality, not just its length or health. Through practical tools and perspective-shifting stories, Dr. Kerry shows how to nurture joy, meaning, and vitality throughout life’s second half.
You’ll come away from this conversation feeling energized and empowered to:

• Reframe aging from fear and decline to joy and possibility
• Build emotional fitness and inner strength to navigate change with resilience
• Find purpose and meaning through connection, contribution, and growth
• Support yourself and others through caregiving, grief, and life transitions
• Address financial and emotional fears that often accompany aging
• Challenge ageism and celebrate the wisdom and freedom of later life
• Create your own Joyspan Action Plan to cultivate long-term happiness and purpose
Join us for a heartfelt and transformative conversation that will leave you inspired to embrace aging as a powerful, joyful, and deeply fulfilling stage of life.
