In our 20's we think we have a long time to start saving and being "money wise" - No Sir!

"Never Retire", is what you'll hear from Martie Weatherly, founder of Dreams to Action Coaching and my guest for this episode. She's full of inspiration to set an impossible dream and go after it! It's not all downhill once you've reached retirement age. She had been walking with a cane and really thought she'd always be dependent on it. Till she made up her mind that she was going to walk independently some day. And she now walks without a cane. She challenges others to do the same!

Martie was a registered nurse for 60 years. When she retired, she focused on her love of coaching and created Dreams to Action Coaching, where she loves helping people with a big vision achieve their dreams. In the last two years, she discovered that other people approaching or being retired are looking for ways to stay healthy and sharp, prevent dementia and contribute their wisdom back to the world, rather than take it easy. Her passion now is to do damage to the idea that aging is a downhill slide and a time to rest. It is a time to make a new bucket list and start doing the things on it, to explore new ideas, to be excited and feel youthful regardless of your age!

Looking for solutions to help you stay in your home longer as you age? Matt McGuire has the answers!  I loved the point he made to 1. Be proactive and start thinking about and budgeting for the modifications you may want to make. 2. Pay attention to your current behaviors...are you grabbing for certain fixtures in your house to aid you in sitting, standing, or climbing stairs? Those would be areas you want to install something more stable to aid you as you age. As you age, those stairs or climbing over the edge of your tub may start to seem like climbing a mountain. Again start to look around and plan for what will suit you best. 

Matt pointed out that most people do not inquire because they are afraid of the cost. And yes, after the pandemic prices have gone up but they will continue to over time. So take action now. You may be surprised how many programs are out there to aid you in the cost of these modifications. Ask you local senior center or Matt and his team could suggest programs too. 

Matt McGuire, along with owner/contractor Mike Duckett are both certified aging-in-place specialists with the National Association of Home Builders and have over 20 years of accessible building experience.

Has someone in your life passed away? Were your friends and family able to support you and have helpful conversations? Or did they say "I know exactly how you feel!" The reality is most people don't know how to talk about death and don't know how to support someone after they have had a loved one pass away. 

Death is simply one of the chapters of life.  Cathy is here to normalize these conversations. She has written 4 books on grief. The reality is that we all experience greif differently and need to be supported differently. Cathy awards an honorary PHDDD (Personally Having Dealt With Death) certificate once you have read her books. They offer suggestions of what to say and what not to say. Cathy pointed out that you cannot pre-grieve but you can pre-plan and her books are how.

Cathy Weaver has been Networking full-time since 2008 and since then, has experienced a number of opportunities to share with others some impactful things she has learned. Death and dying and survivorship have been very popular topics when it comes to presentations because few people find this subject comfortable.

Cathy wrote a book in 2017 called “He Hit The Clouds Running ….. and never looked back™” which addresses her numerous experiences with the death of loved ones. What to say and what not to say when someone has died is one of the most thought-provoking sections of that presentation.

Because we all learn from our own life experiences, Cathy has now released “My Final Footprints™” September 2023, which is a compilation of what to gather and discuss with our loved ones to implement our final wishes, when the time comes. We cannot pre-grieve but we can certainly pre-plan, right?

Baby Boomers are Bold not Old!  This is the stance Wallis Pattisonn took awhile ago and encourages others to see the same.  She brought up so many good points like just because you are done with your career doesn't mean you lose the desire to still be valued.  You still have a lot of experience to offer about products and business.  You are still bold wanting to do something maybe more fulfilling now. But you don't want to be put in the corner not heard from or seen. 

Not to mention this bold population is massive, it's our silver economy.  There have been marketing categories and a whole new slew of products created just for this population. Like, Wallis pointed out, Virgin cruise lines catering to an older clientele.  This portion of our population is starting to redefine retirement.  You have created homes, raised children, and are ready for the next thing...in that same home. 

Wallis encourages everyone to be curious, ask questions, and explore to stay in the know of your world and find a way to continue to contribute. Be bold not old!

Wallis Pattisonn is an inspiration for people her age and younger. She is
straightforward, quirky, and has an attitude of let’s give it a try. She is the
founder of Bold Not Old, CEO and editor-in-chief of Empowering
Boldness a bi-monthly magazine.

Her passion is to encourage those who are 60+ to take their knowledge
and experience to the world via the online marketplace. She encourages
creativity, daring to be different, thinking fabulous and proving that
pursuing a passion or an idea can create a sustainable lifestyle as well as
enhanced wellness.

Senior moments are the worst and can be embarrassing.  Maybe you lose your keys often or can't remember how to get out of Target. Well, Stan Goldberg, 10 times published author is here to shed some light on the brain, 9 types of senior moments, 5 steps to combat senior moments, and how we can be proactive to age gracefully. All senior moments are not the same and Stan explained why in this episode. And come to find out there are many types of memory, not just short and long-term. Did you know that?

Stan was able to offer peace of mind with science to back him up about our brains.  Even in patients with Alzheimer's, they were able to grow new neurons and neuro pathways.  So once a brain cell dies, that's not the end of the story, we can grow new ones. It's through those creative tasks! But we have to take care of our brains as we age with proper hydration, nutrition, and proactively look at research and being our best own advocate! Who says aging has to mean impariment? 

Professor Emeritus Stan Goldberg, PhD, has worked with the Department of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences at San Francisco State University for more than 25 years, while writing hundreds of articles and publishing nine books in four languages. As a person living with cancer, Dr. Goldberg taught, provided therapy, researched, and published in the areas of learning problems, communication disorders, loss, change and end-of-life issues.

Stan’s upcoming book, Preventing Senior Moments: How to Stay Alert into Your 90s and Beyond, opens a window into how our brain processes information, and shows how numerous scientifically-based strategies can be used to simply, easily, and independently prevent senior moments - ranging from forgetting appointments to becoming disorientated.
