The (Scary) Bad Date, Some Outrageous Comments, The Disappointing…

The (Scary) Bad Date, Some Outrageous Comments, The Disappointing Fix-Up, and a Couple of the Good Ones

Hello and welcome to Loving Later Life! I am Nancy Lang Gibbs your host, and this month I’m sharing some of my crazy ass dates and relationships. Last week was one of the more intense sagas, so this week, instead of the super soapy saga I was going to share, (I’ll save it for another time) I thought I’d share one that had some very funny moments before it became scary.

After that, I have some one-liners from dates and almost dates that were so awful and absurd I had to write them down. Then a quick story of one that was actually a fix-up that turned sour, and lastly, to close out the episode and the month on a more positive note, I share about a couple of the good guys, even though they didn’t work out.

And I want to say again, I’m sharing these because we all have stories and there are numerous benefits of sharing our stories for the storyteller and the listener.

In fact, I invite you to please record a voice memo, or write a story of yours and send it to me so I can share it. And if you’d like to be a guest on LLL, let me know so we can discuss that possibility.

Not be missed take-ways:

For these stories, the take-away’s I believe are similar. Trust yourself. That gut feeling, that whisper of a voice inside you. Trust it over others. If you feel uncomfortable in a situation, leave. If you are being treated badly whether it’s emotionally, verbally, or physically; get out. Just get out. You will figure it out from there. Things will work out, just get out.

And your mission, that I hope you’ll choose to accept…

Rinse and repeat the takeaways.

 

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

VIRTUAL LOVE…OR SO I THOUGHT (MY FIRST POST-DIVORCE DATING…

VIRTUAL LOVE…OR SO I THOUGHT
(MY FIRST POST-DIVORCE DATING DISASTER)

It’s time for me to share one of my dating/relationship stories. This story took place back somewhere around 2007ish…and I was a very different iteration of myself than I am now. When I look back and see what I accepted as acceptable behavior toward me, it makes me cringe.

So without further judgement of myself, it is time to tell you about my first relationship post-divorce, and one of the worst. I can almost guarantee you won’t be bored! Sit back, relax, and join me on this hell-of-a ride!

Not be missed take-way:

If you ever hear your inner voice talking to you, or feel a pain in your gut from someone’s words or behavior ….RUN, don’t walk in the other direction.

And your mission, that I hope you’ll choose to accept…

Welcome to LLL this is Nancy Lang Gibbs your host, and I am very excited to get right to this episode. Why?

Because, my special guest is none other, than my Mom! AKA Elaine Lang Ockner.

So, you may be wondering how my mom falls under the category of this month’s theme of dating, relationships etc…

Let me tell you a little something about my mom, without any spoiler alerts….

My mom is 84 and telling it like it is, and how it was…to be a 19-year-old bride, then divorced and dating in a whole new world. She experienced things in her 40’s for the first time in her life, which she shares openly and honestly. She shares some highs (literally) and some lows. Through it all she is driven by her love for her family, her music, and her whimsical zest for life.

And now, I am so proud to introduce you to, my mom, Elaine Lang Ockner…

 

Not be missed take-ways:

The take-aways for this episode are more cumulative than bullet points. To sum it up, it comes down to knowing you can handle what life throws at you. Have gratitude and appreciate what you have. Remember that when things are tough, this too shall pass…until the next time that this too shall pass; and in between, have fun! Keep going, take time to think about things, and keep moving forward and enjoy new things in life. It’s never too late.

And your mission, that I hope you’ll choose to accept…

Read the take-aways again. And again. Now go try something new, go someplace new, eat something new, and you will open up your world. It’s not too late.

Do You Betray Yourself by Not Having Boundary Lines?

Do You Betray Yourself by Not Having Boundary Lines?

Since the stores start displays for Valentine’s Day in December, I figure to start talking about dating and relationships two weeks before the big heart day is totally acceptable. In fact, here at Loving Later Life for the next month or so we’re going to wrap ourselves up in conversations about love, the search for love, and the stories of love—the good and the cringe worthy! (That part comes from my experiences!) I also have some very exciting guests lined up so don’t miss any episodes!

With Valentine’s Day approaching, it is a good time to remember to treat ourselves and honor our most important relationship: the one with ourselves! One way to do this, is to be sure we’re setting boundaries. Boundary lines are essential to our total health. We are so conditioned not to disappoint and let down those we love. It might also upset, or even anger some people. It can be scary to draw that line in the sand knowing the possible consequences. In truth however, letting ourselves down is the worst option. It’s betraying yourself.

I hope you’ll join me.

Not be missed take-ways:

1. One way to honor ourselves is to be sure we’re setting boundaries.

2. “Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves even when we risk disappointing others.” Brene Brown

3. Boundary lines are essential to our total health. We are so conditioned not to disappoint and let down those we love. In truth however, letting ourselves down is the worst option. It’s betraying yourself.

4. “Beware of the people who make you think you’re holding a grudge when you’re really holding a boundary.” Mel Robbins

5. Some types of boundaries: Emotional, Time, Mental and Physical.

And your mission, that I hope you’ll choose to accept…

1) Think about what areas in your life where you lack boundaries.

2) Pick one to start and decide what you can do to create a boundary line that is in alignment with what feels right for you.

3) Take action and do it.

4) Pick another area of opportunity and repeat step 2 & 3!

 

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

Are You Afraid to Feel Joy? Sometimes? Like Me?

Are You Afraid to Feel Joy? Sometimes? Like Me?

In today’s episode, I’m talking about Joy. Why? And why now? Well, my birthday is coming up this weekend. So what does the topic of Joy have to do with my birthday you may be wondering?

When you listen you will hear me share some very personal thoughts and feelings that explain why and how for the longest time, I thought there was something wrong with me; until I heard Brene Brown talk about this. It was the first time I felt understood and not to mention relieved. Did you know that Joy is the most vulnerable emotion we experience? Join me, and please share with others who you think need to hear this.

Not be missed take-ways:

1. Joy is the most vulnerable emotion we experience.

2. Foreboding joy can be a way of protecting ourselves from vulnerability.

3. We think that if we don’t worry, something bad will happen, or that if it does happen, we will be more prepared.” Brene Brown

4. The truth is, that you can’t practice tragedy and it doesn’t make us feel better. We’re not more prepared when something bad happens.

5. What we do end up doing, however, is squandering the joy that we need when hard things happen.”

6. “Joy is the most vulnerable emotion we experience, and if you cannot tolerate joy, what you do is you start dress rehearsing tragedy.”

7. Practice gratitude.

And your mission, that I hope you’ll choose to accept…

1) The next time you are feeling joy and find yourself either trying to dress rehearse tragedy, or intentionally worry to better prepare yourself for when it does, practice gratitude.

2) I just want to say that I am focusing on how grateful I am to you for listening. For coming back again and again. I’m truly honored that you take time, your precious time to listen to what I’m putting my everything into to hopefully make some kind of difference. The support I receive and feel most consistently comes from the most unexpected places and people. I am grateful, thank you.

 

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

Have You Seen Fleishman Is in Trouble?

Have You Seen Fleishman Is in Trouble?

I recently watched a series on Hulu called Fleishmann’s in Trouble with Jesse Eisenberg, Claire Danes, Lizzy Caplan and Adam Brody.  In my humble opinion, this series should get nominated for a plethora of awards, and I would like to thank my son for recommending I watch it.

Taffy Brodesser-Akner the showrunner of the show (and author of the novel upon which it’s based) described it best: “It’s a story about middle age and marriage and divorce, and getting older and nostalgia and lifelong friendship, and parenting and career and ambition. There’s no category of middle-class, middle-life that it isn’t about. But ultimately, Fleishman is a story about storytelling.”

And yes, while this show focuses on mid-life and most of us here are in later life, one of my biggest take-aways is that no matter what age we are, we are all human and experience many of the same feelings and challenges.

So much of what happened in this show resonated with me even though I’m 2 decades older than the characters. After I watched all 8 episodes I went back and hand-picked some of the quotes that stood out most to me so I could share them with you; and I think they may resonate with you too. Join me?!

Not be missed take-ways:

1. To survive is to evolve. To evolve is to move forward. And to move forward, is to recover.” Fleishman’s In Trouble

2. One thing we can count on is to continue to be baffled.

3. Pay attention to what lights you up and do something about it.

4. It’s one thing to appreciate a moment in time and thinking that you will one day you will miss it. Just be careful not to miss it because all you could think about was not wanting it to end.

And your mission, that I hope you’ll choose to accept…

1) Watch this show if you have Hulu.

2) If you are feeling a longing or desire… (and it won’t cause harm to you or others), is it to take a dance class, voice lessons, art or foreign language class, a trip, call a long lost friend…whatever it may be, do it.

3) Share this episode with someone who you think will like it.

4) If you listen on Apple Podcasts, please leave a rating and review…if you liked it.

 

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

Are Your Thoughts Making You Suffer? Mine Were

Are Your Thoughts Making You Suffer? Mine Were!

Happy New Year, a week or so late, everyone! Last week’s episode was recorded prior to New Year’s so I wasn’t able to officially greet you in the New Year!

If you are a LLL regular, you know how passionate I am about this being a place to share our stories…the little ones and the bigger one’s because when we do there are proven scientific benefits, which I will go into more on another episode very soon.

Most of us grew up with stories. Bedtime stories, stories from parents and maybe grandparents. Stories shape our view of life and what’s possible. Sometimes that’s a good thing, and sometimes not; depending on the stories we’re told. Especially the ones we tell ourselves.

Please join me as I share how my thoughts over the holiday’s made me suffer, how we can become more aware of what we tell ourselves, and what we can do about it.

Not be missed take-ways:

1. If we are to grow and be healthier, we may lose some relationships, and the dynamics of some relationships will change.

2. From Byron Katie: “I discovered that when I believed my thoughts I suffered, but when I didn’t believe them, I didn’t suffer, and that this is true for every human being.”

3. The Work involves asking four simple questions about each belief that causes us pain:

Is it true?
Can you absolutely know that it’s true?
How do you react when you believe that thought?
Who would you be without the thought?

4. We all have about 70 thousand thoughts a day, of which 90% are repeated.

5. KFUK radio. When we constantly play and repeat destructive, negative, and likely untrue thoughts We all have that station dialed in, and most of us tune into it all too often.

6. Thoughts become perception; perception becomes reality. Alter your thoughts, alter your reality. William James

7. “There is reality, and then there is the movie your mind projects about that reality. Byron Katie

8. Just remember, whatever story you tell yourself, your mind will believe to be true; so, make sure it is.

And your mission, that I hope you’ll choose to accept…

1) Become aware of your thoughts and the stories you’re telling yourself.

2) Ask yourself, is it true?

3) Ask for help from a therapist or coach.

 

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

ASHTON APPLEWHITE: AUTHOR & ANTI-AGEISM ACTIVIST

ASHTON APPLEWHITE:
AUTHOR & ANTI-AGEISM ACTIVIST

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

Hello, Happy New Year, and welcome back to Loving Later Life! 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.

About a month ago on a Sunday my mom sent me a clip of a segment from CBS Sunday Morning that she happened to see and thought I’d find interesting. Not only was she correct, I was also pulled to reach out to one of their featured guests even though I feared it would be a long shot.

Loving Later Lifer’s, I am beyond happy to say that Ashton Applewhite 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.

Not be missed take-ways:

1. Aging is not just something sad that old people do. It is how we move through life. We’re all aging from the minute we’re born.

2. Young people also experience ageism.

3. Ageism is any judgement about people or a group of people on the basis of how old we think they are. WHO (World Health Organization) defines it as: how we think, feel, act about aging.

4. Ableism: It is a prejudice and discrimination on the basis of physical or mental capacity.

5. It’s hard to get old in an ageist, and sexist, misogynist, capitalist society.

6. “Everyday ageisms” is a term that came from Julie Ober Allen. It talks to the way in which age is referred, that are almost always negative. Trendier term: microagression ie: you look good for your age.

7. Practice asking for help. People love helping. It makes them feel good.

8. Any action you take, changes the culture and the first most critical starting point is to examine your own attitudes toward age and aging.

9. We’re all biased.

10. Even if all you do is think about how you use the words old and young, you’ll start to use them differently.

11. Any change in ourselves ripples outward. It’s never too late, it’s never too small, the only way to screw up is not to try.

12. Looking at something that scares you always makes it less scary, no matter what it is.

13. Learn as much as you can and it will liberate you.

To find Ashton Applewhite:

Instagram: www.instagram.com/thischairrocks

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/AshtonApplewhiteVideos

LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashton-applewhite-64658/


And your mission, that I hope you’ll choose to accept…

1) Take time to learn more about ageism. A good place to start is to read Ashton’s book. You can go to thischairrocks.com for the scoop on the book and for free content as well.

2) Take time to reflect on how you view aging. How does it affect how you feel and perhaps how it makes others feel. As Ashton said,

3) Learn as much as you can and it will liberate you.

 

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

How to Handle Holiday Stress & Hear From Listener’s…

How to Handle Holiday Stress
& Hear From Listener’s Themselves!

Hi there and welcome back to Loving Later Life! I’ve been in Arizona for the weekend to spend time with my Dad and his wife to be together for his 88th birthday. I remember like it was yesterday throwing him a surprise 50th …38 years ago! So crazy. We had a wonderful relaxing time talking and talking and eating and eating. I feel so grateful at my age to still have both my parents around and available for quality time. 

Birthday’s, like holiday time, are milestones marking the passage of time. Sometimes these milestones are joyous and sometimes they can be stressful, painful, difficult and challenging to name a few. Am I right?

I actually had another episode all cued up and ready to go for this week, and I realized I can’t skip over this ‘most wonderful time of the year’ without calling out what so many of us feel, think… and don’t say. So I am sitting here on the airplane in the middle seat, the day before this is to drop, writing down my thoughts to make this episode happen. As soon as I get home around 8pm, I will record, edit, write the shownotes and then I’ll hopefully upload it in time for it to drop tonight at midnight PST. It would be much easier to let the scheduled episode land in your queue, but I’ve gotta follow my gut on this one. 

There is also a very special part to this episode because…. some listeners wanted to chime in with their thoughts regarding the last episode, which warned against getting bugs in your eyes. And if you didn’t listen to it yet you must, in order to know what that means!

So yes! You will hear recordings from women sharing their thoughts on how they feel about asking for help.  I want to thank you ladies for sharing…and for your help! So be sure to listen all the way through to hear what they have to say!

Not be missed take-ways:

1. Sometimes these milestones are joyous and sometimes they can be stressful, painful, difficult and challenging to name a few.

2. “Compassion is another word for the refusal to suffer for imaginary reasons.” (Martha Beck quoted name I couldn’t get)

3. If we didn’t cause ourselves to suffer unnecessarily, and just accept what is, we can be more compassionate to ourselves and to others.

4. Accept what is and try and find what you can learn from it. As she said, find the light in the darkness…and isn’t that what most of the holiday stories are about?!

5. Focus on what is good. Are you feeling healthy? Maybe your least favorite relative couldn’t come? You got to sleep in? Look for anything that you can feel grateful for.

6. Respect your boundary lines. Ie: If you want to leave early, leave early.

7. What if a family member is as difficult, rude, judgmental, intrusive…pick your dysfunctional irritant…. as you expect? Let’s say they offer up an unwanted opinion. Martha suggests what I think is an amazing response. Start with these 5 words: I respectfully do not care…I respectfully do not care: what you think; if you agree with me etc.

8. Knowing that you can do something yourself is empowering, and builds confidence. AND, when you need the help, ask for it!

9. We believe the stories we tell ourselves, so stay aware and be sure it’s true.

10. There is a liberating freeing element to reaching out for help, and not feel lesser because of it.

And your mission, that I hope you’ll choose to accept…

1. If you are celebrating the holidays with friends and/or family, be conscious of your ‘supposed to’s,’ and try to accept what is.

2. Focus on what is good and find gratitude.

3. Breathe.

 

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