  • Loved it

    What a great listen, thoroughly enjoyed the entire episode and learnt so much as a ‘mature’ listener. Jean as the host was wonderful and Roy and Layne had some wonderful insights and advice which I will take onboard. Thank you, would thoroughly recommend.

  • Life’s Booming one of the best podcasts

    What extraordinary, fascinating and moving interviews on this podcast. The host, James Valentine, talks to his interview subjects with empathy, curiosity and genuine interest in their story. The individuals who tell their stories have so much grace, humanity and wisdom to share. I’ve loved all of the stories I’ve listened to so far, with the Rosie Batty story at the top of my list - her honesty and humanity were breathtaking. Highly recommended!

Creative Renaissance with Denise Scott and Dr Helen English
Q: And Helen, you are a researcher and you've researched creativity and how important it is for people in later life. Tell us about your research.
Helen explains that her qualitative research shows being creative in later life provides a sense of purpose, reduces loneliness, and can improve health and well-being through engagement, flow, and social connection. She highlights the World Health Organization's focus on arts and health as evidence of its importance.
No Expiry Date with Layne Beachley and Dr Roy Sugarman
Q: How do you handle fears about aging while trying something new?
Identify what is valid and authentic for you, test your limits gradually, and use anxiety as a signal to stay in the moment and continue with micro-goals.
No Expiry Date with Layne Beachley and Dr Roy Sugarman
Q: What would you say to people who feel they are too old to start something new?
You can start at any age by breaking goals into small, achievable steps, staying curious, and focusing on the process rather than fixating on a distant outcome.
After life with Debbie Malone and Bianca Nogrady
Q: How does the fear of death change with understanding or experience?
Both guests suggest that personal experience and exposure to stories of death and dying can reduce fear, shifting focus to meaning, memories, and the potential continuity of love beyond death.
After life with Debbie Malone and Bianca Nogrady
Q: Is there scientific evidence for an afterlife?
Bianca notes that science has not yet proven an afterlife; there is evidence of brain activity during near-death experiences and the experiences remain difficult to study under ethical constraints, but she remains open to the possibility that there are aspects beyond current scientific measurement.
