Pausing For a Life And a Death

Pausing For a Life And a Death

I had another episode planned for this week, and I’ve decided to postpone it. Instead, I’m pausing for a life and a death.

For those of you who may not have seen my post on social media, my mom’s husband of almost 30 years passed away on Monday, September 26th. I just didn’t feel it was right to move forward with business as usual without taking a pause from the schedule. This is an impromptu shortcast as I pause out of respect and reflection. I hope you will join me.

 

 

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

How to Embrace Aging Despite the Media

How to Embrace Aging Despite the Media

Aging. Try and avoid it at all costs. This is basically the message the media tries to convey to women. They sell us on the fact that we are not as beautiful, and not as sexy as we would be if we erased, plumped, lifted, and enhanced our aging selves. They tell us that looking younger is sexier. It’s all about fighting aging instead of embracing it. They drill into our psyche that it’s a bad thing to look older. In an infomercial I saw recently, the main point being rubbed into our brain was that we should us their cream to erase our wrinkles, erase the crepiness in our skin, erase, erase erase. We can embrace aging despite the media.

Please join me as I look at how this can affect our sense of worth and value. In this episode I push my comfort level of vulnerability in sharing some of what has been said and done to me when I have dared to go without make-up and as I have gotten older. Quotes from Maria Shriver and Glennon Doyle help me express my message to all of us women of a certain age: embracing aging can empower us to feel sexy and beautiful while accepting all parts of us. 

Not be missed take-ways:

1. If we are not happy on the inside with ourselves, the applications of creams, makeup, Botox, etc. can give us a lift…so to speak…for sure, but it’s not a permanent lift. A more permanent change needs to come from the inside out.

2. All of our signs of aging tells a story that has meaning, life lessons and the fact that we got through it all. That is something to own, and about which to be so very proud.

3. If we buy into the bullshit that comes from the cosmetic industry, we will never be happy, and will be riding the hamster wheel of attempting to perfect our forehead, our lips, our skin, our boobs, our eyebrows, our chin, our butts, our eyes etc. etc. etc. Where does it end?

4. From Maria Shriver on this topic: “The truth is, we all want someone to see the jewel that is inside of us. We all long to be seen as valuable, no matter how old we are. And we work hard trying to get others to recognize our value, our worth, so often giving them the power to decide if we are, in fact, jewels to be cherished. But that power is actually our own. It’s yours. Don’t give it away.”

5. From moi, Nancy Lang Gibbs, “Let the jewels inside your treasure chest shine, and that is true beauty for anyone to behold!”

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

1) Do you feel as though the invisibility cloak has been thrown on you as you’ve gotten older? Write to me and let me know why you feel this way.

2) I’d like to propose a day, choose any day in the next week, and if you are listening to this at some point in the future, pick a day, and go out without make-up! See how it feels and please write in to share your experience so I can share on the podcast! Even better, send a voice memo so I can play it! And if you don’t know how to do that write me and I’ll help you!

3) Please share this with one person and if they do the same it will help this community grow. Re-post on social media, text or email an episode to someone…any way that’s easy for you to share share share, I would be grateful. (And rate/review if you’re enjoying?)


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

Is Quitting Really a Bad Thing?

Is Quitting Really a Bad Thing?

Is quitting really a bad thing? The definition of quitting has changed over the years, and not in a good way in my opinion. Join me in what may prove to be a controversial after-party discussion.

In this episode I have a lot of fun sharing some of my past experiences living my dream working in television which was made possible because of my decision to quit something else…which was not a popular decision at the time amongst my village of people.

I take an opportunity to shout out to my favorite acting teacher and Casting Director Mark Teschner for whom I will be eternally grateful. I still have my Emmy award winning speech prepared, and still believe that it’s not too late! On that, I am not giving up!

Not be missed take-ways:

1. One path does not fit all.

2. “Winners never quit, and quitters never win…. I call bullshit.

3. Staying with something or someone for the sake of not wanting to ‘be a quitter’ is not a good thing if you are unhappy and not living in alignment with who you are.

4. Sometimes it’s just that we’re allowing ourselves to let go.

5. No one knows what is best for you better than you. Other than talking it through with a good therapist who helps you to see what you already know.

6. While it’s great to have a support system, we ultimately need to count on ourselves to do what is best for us.

7. No matter how old we are, it’s never too late to quit. Quit second guessing yourself. Quit listening to the societal noise. Quit worrying about making the wrong decision. Quit overthinking. Quit putting yourself down. Quit trying to please everyone.

8. To quit or not to quit? That is your answer.

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

If you are trying to decide whether or not to quit or let go of something, someone, or of a situation:

1) Talk with a therapist or coach if you feel the need.

2) Get silent and look within.

3) Consider your options and notice how each one makes you feel. Your instincts will tell you what feels in alignment. Just like when you can feel your body isn’t in alignment and when it is.

4) Whatever you decide, know that you are making the right decision for you at the time, and you will deal with whatever comes next.

 

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

Personal Growth Can Have Its Costs

Personal Growth Can Have Its Costs

I wasn’t sure what I wanted to talk about this week until I saw a post from Mel Robbins online. If you’re not familiar with her she’s a lawyer, TV host, author, and motivational speaker.  

Her post said, “8 important signs that mean you’re growing.” When I saw that, I knew exactly what I wanted to talk about.

I have been experiencing a lot of growth of late, and it has definitely been like throwing a rock in a lake and seeing the ripple effect. Some great, some not so great.

In this episode, I reflect on her 8 signs of growing and how they relate to my life. How growing has affected my relationships, the fear around growth and change for many of us, asking the question if it is also possible for someone to grow and not necessarily change and so much more. Come with me!

Not be missed take-ways:

1. If we don’t grow as a person, even later in life, we may as well hop into the casket and have them turn the crank six feet down.

2. Anyone can grow. Anyone can learn. This is a choice. To say we’re too old is a cop-out.

3. One of the worst things we can do is not grow as a human because we don’t want to rock the relationship boat. We cannot let the fear of causing waves prevent us from doing, learning, growing and being who we are.

4. It is hard when you no longer do the dance that others expect from you. It takes them off balance when they don’t know how to dance with you anymore.

5. Having the courage to seek, discover and accept your personal growth takes courage. It is not easy.

6. “The caterpillar never emerges from the chrysalis, but the butterfly does.” Martha Beck.

7. Is it possible for someone to grow and not necessarily change? I do believe the answer is a both/ AND. Our growth can cause us to change and then possibly cause a change in our relationship, AND I believe that we can grow and learn by changing certain behaviors without changing who we are as a person.

8. It’s never too late to be YOU. Unapologetically, unabashedly YOU!

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

1) Notice it/Name it/Reframe it!: In other words: Name what it is that is holding you back and then reframe it. For example: I’m afraid to grow. It could upset the people in my life. Reframe it!: Fear will keep me from being my authentic self. Growth can bring exciting opportunities and people who want to grow with me!

2) Think of one way you’d like to grow. Is it dealing with a relationship that isn’t serving you? Learning more about something? Trying a new activity?

3) Think of the first baby step you can take that will move you closer to it and do it! If you need help, contact me for a coaching session.

4) Please share with me what you do to inspire others!

 

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

Dr. Martha Jo Atkins: There’s More to Dying Than…

Dr. Martha Jo Atkins: There’s More to Dying Than Meets the Eye

Happy September everyone. I can’t believe we’re turning the corner to Fall and then the holidays already, again. The seasons we are falling into, pardon the pun, are of things dying annnnd recognizing the beauty that also surrounds it.

Finding beauty in dying is usually challenging. For most of my life I had total fear around it, which I think began when I was 13 when my great uncle passed away. It was my first experience with someone I was close with dying. He was bigger than life and everybody loved Uncle Sam. My family flew to Chicago to go to his funeral and we stayed in his home, which really spooked me at the time because all his things and medicine were in place as if he were still there. At the funeral they had his casket open and I’ll never forget how scared I was as I saw him under this red-ish light that was hanging above, and my grandfather loudly crying over his brother. It was the only time I had seen my grandpa cry.

Needless to say that left quite the impression on me with regard to death and dying. And not a good one.

Last year I happened to watch a TEDx talk on this topic with Dr. Martha Jo Atkins from 2013, which has over a million views. And when I heard her say, “When we educate families and the patient about the experiences of dying, there is less fear. And my goodness, we need less fear around death and dying” I grabbed my computer and wrote to ask her to be my guest on Loving Later Life. And I am so thrilled to tell you that she said yes!

Dr. Martha Jo Atkins, is a dog-loving, (Ph.D.) end-of-life licensed professional counselor and counselor supervisor (LPC-S), coach, speaker , doula and author. Dr. Atkins has a thirty-year career helping children and adults negotiate end-of-life and grief.

She is the founder of the Children’s Bereavement Center of South Texas, served as Executive Director of Abode Contemplative Care for the Dying in San Antonio, and is the author of the book Signposts of Dying. She is the founder of Dying School, designed to build community while deepening conversations around end-of-life + aliveness.

Now don’t touch that dial! I can’t wait to share this conversation with you and I do believe that it will have you thinking a little differently about death and dying. And I really want to have her back because there is so much more I want to talk about with her that we just didn’t have time for.

So get comfy, and let’s let Martha Jo help us think about and talk about dying…

 

Not be missed take-ways:

1. You can’t feel fear when you are feeling love. It’s a practice.

2. Care less about what other people think.

3. Recognize the strength of your heart and body and how you need to take care of both of those.

4. You can’t make everybody happy.

5. Figuring out what your heart and body need sometimes requires hard choices out in the world.

6. Grief is a part of life.

7. Sometimes it’s hard to know what we need to do, what the next thing is. Instead of looking at the whole kit and kaboodle, find the next right thing that feels good, take a breath and take that step. That makes a life.

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

1) If you have fears and discomfort around dying, make an effort to learn more about it and share how you feel and talk with someone.

2) Check out Martha Jo’s videos, books, website and social media to help with this process:

The Story of How Nancy Faced a Big Fear…

The Story of How Nancy Faced a 

Big Fear and Long-Time Mind-F*ck…

This episode is a follow-up to a story that began in Episode 2 of Loving Later Life. It’s the one about how I reached out to a jazz band about singing with them.

As I was getting my thoughts together about how best to share the experience of what happened, my mind went off on a creative tangent in a very different direction. This episode has turned into something that wasn’t at all planned and I decided why the hell not. So here it is! I’ve had so much fun putting this together and I think it’ll make you smile. Come join me!

Not be missed take-ways:

1. Acknowledge the inner critic’s voice so you can differentiate it from your own.

2. Our happy ending may not look like we expected it to look.

3. Face your fears, let go, and allow yourself to exhale into it and discover what you’re capable of doing.

4. Allow yourself to not be perfect and do it anyway.

5. To hell with what other people think. They won’t be on your death bed with you.

6. Our ego craves certainty, and our soul wants the unknown.

7. Be you. Do you. It. Is. Not. Too. Late…yet.

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

Email me a list of one or more things you have been afraid to do and tell me which one you’re going to take a step to do. Nancy@lovinglaterlife.com.  I’ll be waiting!!!

 

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

Carole Montgomery: Veteran of the Stand-up Comedy Scene Nationwide

Carole Montgomery:
Veteran of the Stand-Up Comedy Scene Nationwide

Do I have a guest for you! Back in April, I went to see a show called Funny Women of a Certain Age. I hadn’t been to a show for well over two years and when I heard that a show called “Funny Women of a Certain Age” was fifteen minutes from me, I knew I had to go. Not only did I laugh until I cried, which I desperately needed, I also left with tears of inspiration when Carole Montgomery the creator, ended the show saying to a predominantly female audience, it’s never too late to do anything. I knew then that I had to reach out and ask her to be a guest on Loving Later Life. And so I did! And here we are! You see, it never hurts to ask!

Carole Montgomery is a respected veteran of the stand-up scene nationwide. She has over two dozen TV credits, has headlined clubs across the U.S., starred in two Las Vegas production shows, did eleven comedy tours with Armed Forces Entertainment, and has been a featured performer for Montreal Just for Laughs and Boston and New York Comedy Festivals.

Carole is also a director and producer. In 2017 she created the live stand-up comedy show Funny Women of a Certain Age which premiered on Showtime and became the network’s highest rated comedy special for 2019 making TV history as the first comedy special to feature six women over the age of 50! In addition to her hilarious self, Carole has brought to the show some of the most respected names in comedy including Fran Drescher, Janeane Garofalo, Caroline Rhea, Teri Hatcher, Julia Scotti and many more.

In this episode, Carole openly shares the funny, touching, jaw dropping stories of her career. Don Rickles gave her the ultimate compliment of dissing her. Richard Pryor brought her to tears in the best of ways. Her stories of how she has faced ageism, sexism, and how she continues to persevere are compelling. Carole is still going strong at 64 years old bringing laughter to audiences across the country.

Needless to say, I am thrilled to have her as my guest, and I have to tell you, it was so much fun! Enjoy!

Not be missed take-ways:

1. If you throw enough shit on the wall something’s gonna stick.

2. You can’t be afraid of asking. It never hurts to ask.

3. Don’t take things personally.

4. Be kind to people. Treat people well.

5. It’s never too late to do anything.

6. Funny never gets old.

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

1) Stop to compliment someone or do something nice for someone whether you know them or not. It’ll make their day, and yours.

2) Laugh. There is so much stress in our lives and in our world, go out of your way to search for a way to laugh. Maybe it’s a comedy show. Maybe it’s watching funny videos online, being with friends who make you laugh, or going to Showtime and watching Funny Women of a Certain Age! Laughter is medicine for your soul.

3) Share this episode with someone that you feel would enjoy it!

Finding Answers Where We’d Least Expect

Finding Answers Where We’d Least Expect

The path to getting older is oh so interesting, isn’t it? As we grow older we accumulate some wisdom along the way, which can be cleverly disguised as heartbreak, loss, pain, disappointment, sadness, embarrassment, hurt or growing pains. So, if we get wiser as we get older, why do so many of us, so often, look outside ourselves for the answers? Perhaps they’re in a place inside us where we’d least expect!

In this episode, we experiment with a different way of discovering wisdom to find answers, feel emotionally safe, loved, and heard. And when you listen, you’ll see why this exact picture above is here. Please join me, and I’d love to hear how it worked for you!

Not be missed take-ways:

1. Embrace where you are in life. Feel gratitude for whatever age you are.

2. Acknowledge and enjoy the benefits of being the age you are.

3. Wisdom can be cleverly disguised as heartbreak, loss, pain, disappointment, sadness, embarrassment, hurt, or growing pains.

4. We are older and wiser.

5. Remember that while we have wisdom from years lived, we also have wisdom that we may have forgotten about that we can retrieve from the young person we carry with us.

6. We can learn from our younger selves!

7. It’s super important to stay in touch with the little person who is still inside of us.

8. It’s important to listen to them, take care of them. Make the time.

9. Remember that you are loved and you are ok.

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

1) Make the time every so often to check in with 7-10 year-old you. Get in a quiet place, see them, let them see you, and go listen to them on that bench. You can have the bench be wherever you want. The beach, a place that you felt safe as a child, where you have fond memories. Just do it.

2) Tell her what you need to say. Ask her questions. Listen to her. Feel connected. Feel loved.

3) Post a picture of you around this age on FB or IG @lovinglaterlifepodcast so we can see your younger self!

 

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

Nicole Aloni: Re-inventing in Later Life

Nicole Aloni: Re-inventing & Dealing with Loss in Later Life

Nicole Aloni has had many lives and many losses. She is a French-trained chef (she cooked for Julia Child and Queen Elizabeth to name a few), was the director of catering of the Music Center in Los Angeles, founded a restaurant, catering company, food manufacturing business and photography studio. She was married to the love of her life, Ami Aloni, a prominent personality in the Jewish musical life of L.A., most especially revered in the synagogue world as a composer, arranger, pianist, and conductor.

After Ami’s tragic passing, Nicole reinvented herself several more times. She authored articles and books about food and entertaining. She also wrote, produced, and performed her autobiographical one-woman show, Le Grand Fromage, which you can watch on YouTube! In this funny and poignant show, she cooks French food on stage as she tells the riveting stories of her life. It will have you laughing and keep you on the edge of your seat. Nicole is also a certified coach specializing in collaborating with creative risk-takers, entrepreneurs, performers, public speakers and those re-inventing. You are going to be glued to her every word!

Not be missed take-ways:

1. Everything’s going to be alright. Really…really. 

2. The Universe wants us to succeed. It is for us, not against us. 

3. If you’re grateful, you can’t be grateful and angry or sad at the same time. So, if you’re concentrating on what there is to be grateful for, you’re occupying your mind with something that is life affirming.

4. The 3 P’s of Resilience

5. Believe that you deserve good things.

6. Wear sleeveless shirts!

7. We are not in control.

8. There really is no sense in worrying. It’s completely useless.

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

1) Watch Nicole’s one woman show, Le Grand Fromage. It is a MUST see! 

2) If/when you’re going through a challenging time, start that gratitude journal. Write down at least three things every day that you are grateful for.

3) When any opportunity presents itself, say yes, and figure it out later. Take the leap!

Do You Listen With Your Whole Face?

Do You Listen With Your Whole Face?

Today I’m talking about what I believe is quickly becoming a lost art: Listening. I think it’s also the biggest gift we can give someone else. When we aren’t truly listening, it means that the person who is trying share something with us is likely not feeling heard. Feeling heard, is one of the most universal human needs, and when that need is not met on a consistent basis, it just doesn’t lead to anything good!

Whether we’re 5 or 85 we want to feel that someone is listening to us. Do you always ‘listen’ with your head down in your phone? While watching TV? In this episode I share some stories that might just make you never want to do that again. It may also change the way you look at listening forever. I hope you’ll listen. (See what I did there?!)

Not be missed take-ways:

1. No matter what age we are, we all need to feel heard and that someone cares enough to take the time to listen to us.

2. You can ‘hear’ someone, and not be truly listening.

3. If you know you want to talk about something that requires more attention from someone, say so, and pick a mutually good time to make it possible!

4. Life goes fast. Take the time to realize life while we have the gift of living it.

5. Listen with your whole face. It could change your relationships. It could change your life, and the lives of those you say you love. It could save lives. It could even change the world!

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

1) If you feel that someone isn’t hearing you, isn’t taking the time to listen to you, tell them. Tell them how it makes you feel and offer a solution.

2) The next time you’re in the middle of something (and it’s not terribly crucial), if someone you love or care about is trying to tell you something, stop what you’re doing, look at them, and listen.

3) Listen with your whole face. You never know when it may be the last time you can.

 

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