Dr. Harpriya Singh:
A Masterclass in Living Your Best Life

Dr. Harpriya Singh is a gastroenterologist practicing at Stanford Healthcare-Trivalley in Pleasanton.  

My original intention was to have Dr. Singh share with us about how we can best take care of our physical health. While we talk about that, what transpired is a masterclass in how to experience our life with the most joy and fulfillment no matter what is happening around us. 

If you share this with everyone you care about, it will change their life. Full stop. Not hyperbole. 

Listen and learn to truly love your life!

Thank you so much for listening! And until the next time, live passionately, vulnerably, and keep loving later life!

On the 100th episode of Loving Later Life, I…

On the 100th episode of Loving Later Life, I say F-You!

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the 100th episode of Loving Later Life! This is a first because for this, the 100th episode, I was not prepared at all.

It was when talking to a friend who had recently been discovering some of my old writings online that the light bulb sizzled on. As I was describing how I was feeling about this episode, they said to me, “F-you!” And I looked at them and said, “What now?” And they said, “You know, like you wrote in your article!”

I really wasn’t sure what they were referring to until I did an investigative search into my archives, and there it was. There was what was meant to be my message for myself and for you, for this 100th episode of Loving Later Life.

As always, I hope you will listen and share with anyone who needs to hear it. I also want to take this moment to thank you for continuing to invite me into your car, your ears, and your bathroom as you’re getting ready for the day. I am truly honored.

Thank you so much for listening! And until the next time, live passionately, vulnerably, and keep loving later life!

Let’s Talk About the Elephant in the Room

Let’s Talk About the Elephant in the Room

The other night I thought I heard something on TV and what I heard wasn’t at all what they had said. It showed me what my brain was tuning into and what it was looking for and I had to share it with you.

I believe that if we share our experiences with one another, it helps us to stay connected and feel less alone.

That’s all I’ll say here, except for please listen and share!

Thank you so much for listening! And until the next time, live passionately, vulnerably, and keep loving later life!

Sheridan Ruth: Performance Coach and Nervous System Specialist

Sheridan Ruth: Performance Coach
& Nervous System Specialist

Welcome back to Loving Later life, episode 98! I want to start by saying thank you to those of you who receive my emails every other week and responded to my question wondering if you are receiving them consistently. Annd, I am truly touched by your comments affirming that the podcast and the emails are resonating and that they are providing value to you.

We know that it’s best not to rely on external validation, and it sure is yummy icing on the cake to hear! So, thank you.

OK! Our special guest today joins us from the other side of the world. Her name is Sheridan Ruth and she is a Performance Coach and Nervous System Specialist.

From being stripped of every strand of hair on her body to losing her ex to suicide 3 weeks after breaking up, Sheridan was forced to use trauma-healing to sustainably build her business.

While there are a lot of ‘trauma-informed’ and ‘body-based practitioner’ coaches in the industry, none of them do it by merging body-based tools, the nervous system AND business strategy.

Sheridan helps entrepreneurs combine the nervous system with business strategy to increase profit and decrease anxiety – even when traditional methods haven’t worked.

And I can say that you don’t have to be an entrepreneur to benefit greatly from her wisdom and experience in how to regulate your nervous system so that we can find relief from anxiety and fear, and live a fulfilling life.

So, without further adeu, please join me and Sheridan by pressing play above!

OH, and you can get Sheridan’s book Somatic Intelligence for Success – prevent burnout and leave an impact on Amazon or just CLICK HERE!

If you want to see and/or reach out to Sheridan, you can also find her in Instagram @_sheridanruth_

How a Call with AT&T Led to Fear, an Epiphany
and then Anxiety

I’ve been feeling a bit meh to be honest. Lack of energy, mentally and physically off and feeling like I wasn’t going to have anything worthwhile to share with you. Yes, part of that is my inner critic popping off in judgement, annnd, I was at a bit of a loss.

Then I had two different conversations with two very close friends, and I thought, ya know, I need to share what came up for me in these conversations because perhaps I’m not alone.

This episode, like many of my solo shows, is me sharing my thoughts, challenges, revelations, in hopes that it may help, since as I’ve said before, that which is personal is so often universal.

I hope to see you there.

Thank you so much for listening! And until the next time, live passionately, vulnerably, and keep loving later life!

Hey everyone! Whether you are a regular here at Loving Later Life or a newbie, listen closely to this episode because you may discover an alternative housing idea for you or someone you know.

If you live alone, have you ever thought “Gee, it would be nice to have someone else around because I’m feeling a bit isolated.” Or you’ve experienced not feeling well, wishing there were someone to be there to give you a hand with things? Or after paying your bills, found yourself thinking it would be nice if you didn’t have to pay the entire amount?

Well listen up because my guest Annamarie Pluhar has a possible solution for you. Annamarie advocates for adults, especially older singles, to have a “home-mate,” someone with whom they can share a home with one or more people for the benefits of cost, company, cooperation, and comfort.

She is the founder of the nonprofit, Sharing Housing, Inc. and the author of Sharing Housing, A Guidebook for Finding and Keeping Good Housemates. She has 30 years of experience in corporate and non-profit consulting, group facilitation, training development, and delivery.

Spoken -Word Poetry of Birthday Thoughts, & Wishes Gone…

Spoken -Word Poetry of Birthday Thoughts, & Wishes Gone Wild
as I Officially Become a “Senior”

(Never have I ever created anything like this before)


It is a big birthday for me this month and I wrote this as a gift to myself, to my kids and to my grandkids. It encompasses all that is me, was me, and I do believe not just me.

You may want to listen to it more than once and then share it with someone, and I think you’ll see why after you hear it.

All I can say is that I have never written anything like this before. There is really no way to describe it, so just press play and hear for yourself!

Elizabeth Laura Nelson: Her Heartwarming Heartbreaking Love Story for…

Elizabeth Laura Nelson: Her Heartwarming Heartbreaking Love Story for New York Times Modern Love and Her Journey of Self-Discovery

I have to tell you that this has to be one of the most vulnerable interviews I have had with a guest. Do not miss one minute of this episode.

Elizabeth Laura Nelson is a Brooklyn-based writer and editor. I discovered Elizabeth after reading her Modern Love Story in the New York Times (the link is below), which was their most popular article on social media the weekend it was published! Back to that in a minute.

Elizabeth co-founded Jenny, a digital magazine focused on Gen X and elder Millennial women and served as the managing editor of Woman’s World and the deputy health editor for Best Life.

Known for her candid essays and approachable style, Elizabeth has contributed to websites including xoJane, SheSaid, Elite Daily, YourTango, and more. Her work often explores relationships, wellness, pop culture, and modern family life, connecting deeply with readers through her personal stories and insights on subjects like single motherhood, dating, and midlife.

After I read Elizabeth’s Modern Love story in the New York Times, I immediately played detective to find her so I could ask her to be my guest on Loving Later Life. I keep telling you all, it never hurts to ask!

Beginning with a blooper that I decided to leave in, this episode blossoms like a flower being watered in real time. And by the time we get to the end you will have witnessed the full bloom of an incredibly moving story of self-discovery and love.

I am so grateful to Elizabeth for sharing her genuine heart with us. I know for certain that anyone who listens to the entire episode will walk away with something they will not ever forget.

There are so many golden nuggets unearthed along the path of our conversation. You must hear every single minute.

Please join us…

The Holidays & A New Year: Will You See…

The Holidays & A New Year: Will You See Opportunities or Problems? + A Toast to Listeners

Welcome to the last 2024 episode of Loving Later Life. This episode is dropping on December 23rd just 2 days before the holiday and a little over a week away from the year 2025. And because it is a bonkers time for all, I’m keeping this shorter than usual.

I learned a new term recently: liminal space. Apparently, the word liminal is from the Latin word limen, which means threshold. It is defined as “a transitional state between where someone is and where they are going—not knowing the future whether physically, emotionally, or metaphorically.” The space between what has already been, and what is to come.

At this time of year, as we balance on the precipice of family and friends gathering or sitting alone at home with the unknown of a new year around the bend, I am suggesting that we focus on the opportunities that are hiding underneath whatever challenges we encounter. I hope you’ll join me for more on this, and my special toast to you.

Thank you so much for listening! And until the next time, live passionately, vulnerably, and keep loving later life!
