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!

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_

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

How a Call with AT&T Led to Fear an…

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!

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

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…

Dealing with the Personal Aftermath of the Orange Tsunami…

Dealing with the Personal Aftermath of the Orange
Tsunami in the Season of Gratitude…
and How to Move Forward

As we head into Thanksgiving, many of us are perhaps feeling more frightened than thankful. I have been trying to process all of my emotions since Nov. 5th as I know many of you have.

While political discussions in the past have not been my jam, what we are experiencing is the worst reality show for which we are all cast members, like it or not. It has gotten very personal, so I’m talking about it.

And since that which is personal, is often universal…at least for half of this Universe we are living in, I hope you will walk this path with me. Please, join me.

I’ll see you there…

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

Sky Bergman in her 3rd Act: Becoming a Filmmaker…

Sky Bergman in her 3rd Act: Becoming a Filmmaker of Lives Well Lived, and Author of Lives Well Lived—Generations
After a 30 Year Teaching Career

We are so fortunate to have Sky Bergman as our special guest on Loving Later Life. She is Professor Emeritus of Photography and Video at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. Her artwork is in prestigious museum collections, and her commercial work has appeared in renowned magazines like the Smithsonian.

Now in her third act after a 30-year teaching career, Sky felt pulled by her dreams and passions in the direction of being behind the lens of a different kind, motivated and inspired by the love of her Grandma who was turning 100.

She wanted to find other people like her grandmother who could be her role models for aging. Sky spent 4 years interviewing 40 ppl with a collective life experience of 3000 years and created the film Lives Well Lived currently on PBS, Amazon, and iTunes to name a few. Her goal was to discover their secret, and she found that they had 3 things in common, which she shares with us, and more!

You will feel incredibly positive about aging after watching her film. It has been so popular that she then wrote the book Lives Well Lived — GENERATIONS. The first half is about her experiences making the film and the lessons she learned. The second half is about the amazing people around the globe who are doing work connecting generations.

Sky’s passion is creating films and projects that inspire intergenerational connections, emphasizing the power of shared stories. And after listening to our conversation, you will feel the power of her story and very different about aging.

TO GET THE BOOK “LIVES WELL LIVED–GENERATIONS:”

TO WATCH THE FILM, “LIVES WELL LIVED:”

Golden Dating Doctors: Dr. Gloria Horsley & Dr. Frank…

Golden Dating Doctors
Dr. Gloria Horsley & Dr. Frank Powers:

Silver Singles Spokespersons, Authors of “Open to Love: The Secrets of Senior Dating”

Hi and welcome back to another episode of Loving Later Life! If you are new I am very glad you are here. If you are a regular, I so appreciate your continuing support of Loving Later Life. Quick reminder: if you can think of others who want to be loving later life in community, please share these episodes!

This episode is another first! This conversation is with a couple. In their 80’s. And, they’re not just any couple! They are nationally recognized relationship therapists Dr. Gloria Horsley and Dr. Frank Powers.

Gloria and Frank are currently serving as spokespersons for the dating app Silver Singles (they actually met online with this app). They were recently featured on NBC Tampa Bay’s Bloom TV, Yahoo! Life, Men’s Health, The Most Dramatic Podcast Ever with Chris Harrison and Whine Down with Jana Kramer, among others.

Dr. Gloria Horsley Ph.D. is a licensed marriage and family therapist and clinical nurse specialist. She is the president and co-founder of the Open to Hope Foundation and co-hosts the award-winning “Open to Hope” TV series and podcast.

Dr. Frank Powers, Ph.D., has been a licensed psychologist with a private practice in Scottsdale Arizona for the last 30 years. He served as the chairman of the Psychiatric Security Review Board for the State of Arizona and is a past psychology professor at Scottsdale Community College.

Gloria and Frank have written a book together called, OPEN TO LOVE: THE SECRETS OF SENIOR DATING. Writing a book together was the last thing they thought they’d be doing at this stage of their lives, but the magic that came with finding each other later in life compelled them to share their story. And they wanted to do their part in making things a little bit easier and more fun when tackling the world of dating.

You will not be able to listen to this episode without smiling the entire time. We had so much fun, and we also had fun navigating some internet issues including my power going out in the middle of our conversation!

Come join us in the fun!

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