  • Mid-year wake up call part 2

    This is the first episode I’ve watched, and oh my goodness it was so powerful. Near the end of the episode you gave a call to action. You said to pause the episode and do the thing. So I did something I’ve been putting off for way too long — and it was DONE in 15 mins. Thank you for that nudge! Can’t wait to watch more episodes.

  • Suggestion

    When you discuss folks who ‘didn’t get the message about sedentary lifestyles’ until after their 40s, please bear in mind that some people actually struggled with terrible jobs and not enough resources, so it’s not always a ‘choice’ or ‘lifestyle’ Words matter.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sex in Midlife: It Doesn’t Have to Fade (and Can Even Be Great) | Susan Bratton
Q: What are the core pillars that sustain great orgasmic intimacy over time?
The core pillars are passionate lovemaking techniques, effective bedroom communication, and regenerative intimacy practices that keep sexual function and desire healthy as people age.
Getting Back Up After You’ve Been Brought to Your Knees | Mark Nepo
Q: What is the 'one assignment' you believe we share, and how can listeners live it?
The one assignment is to let the light of life manifest through our humanity by authentically caring for others, distributing weight, and engaging with life directly rather than through screens or avoidance.
Getting Back Up After You’ve Been Brought to Your Knees | Mark Nepo
Q: Why do you think people resist the fall, and how does your frame shift that perspective?
People resist because they have internalized the idea that falling means failure. The frame shifts to seeing the fall as a natural part of growth and an invitation to receive what comes, not merely to break the fall.
The Midlife Curiosity Tour That Changed Everything | Allison Aubrey
Q: What exactly is the Curiosity Tour and how did it catalyze her pivot?
The Curiosity Tour was a sabbatical framed as a traveling, curiosity-driven exploration of how midlife women pivot, emphasizing slow, local investigations and learning from peers, which led her to pursue a book and new life direction.
The Midlife Curiosity Tour That Changed Everything | Allison Aubrey
Q: Take me there. What was the first realization that signaled a change was needed?
Allison explains how the Longevity Institute tests initially read as a story for journalism, but the results and the accompanying fear of aging collided with her sense of identity, revealing that she was no longer being fueled by her previous pace and recognition.
