- Andrew Wang on Dealing With Stage FrightToday’s episode starts off the an unexpected lesson in pronunciation and anglicization of names. But the real story: Andrew Wang has a career rather unrelated to music. He decided to learn guitar, however, and found himself experiencing serious stage fright when he played in front of people. Ring a bell with you? Start a new project as an adult only to realize doing it in front of people was nerve-wracking. Andy chose a genre of music that was relatively popular but with very few musicians playing it live. The invitations to play started to come in. It’s hard to say No to a cousin’s wedding. When you keep saying Yes… where can that lead you? Andy shares several stories about saying Yes, and has a great philosophy about sharing our gifts. AND he ties it back to retirement. Stay tuned to the end when I ask Andy a question from out of left field! A wonderful conversation with a delightful person. Andy mentioned "Playing For Change": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us-TVg40ExM Find the musical Andy at https://www.andywangmusic.com/ Read more at: https://boomwithabang.com/andy-wang-on-dealing-with-stage-fright/0 comments0
- Judy Wilkins-Smith on Decoding Your Emotional DNAWe are aware of DNA as it pertains to our physical traits, but how about emotional DNA? The physical may be inarguable, but what if you challenged your emotional place in the world and decided to change it? Food. Money. Relationships. Huge triggers of negative emotions or experiences. Judy explains that Genealogy 1.0 is “Here’s where you belong” and Genealogy 2.0 is “Here’s what happened, and how it matters to where you belong”. Most of your “inflated” feelings are results of your emotional dna. Judy also shares an interesting exercise she does with clients… you might want to try it yourself. If you’re a newcomer to emotional DNA, Judy has written a book that explains and assists you! Find Judy at https://judywilkins-smith.com0 comments0
- Peter Anthony - His Troubled Teen Finds Her WayThe podcast starts its 4th season with the father of a struggling teenage daughter. If you’ve been a parent to a teenager – or maybe you now have teenage grandchildren - the issues might resonate. Peter did realize that he couldn’t “fix” his daughter’s problems, and he is quite candid that this story is as much about his growth as Belle’s. He learned to be a listener and a support as Belle worked to find her path. Peter and Belle’s story may not be unique, it is definitely heartfelt. Spoiler alert: they find many positives as time goes on. This episode might be a little unusual as Peter requests and is truly open to suggestions and assistance as Belle (and her silent partner, Peter) develop the endeavour that has grown out of their mutual growth. The story of a special father and a very remarkable young woman. Your A Nuff Website: https://youranuff.com/0 comments0

- Kathleen Donnelly Israel on El Camino de Santiago at Age 70Agnes has, for a long time, had a fascination with El Camino de Santiago - a pilgrimage with a series of routes, all of which end at the city of Santiago de Compostela in northern Spain. Today's guest walked her first Camino at age 70. Alone. Like so many mid-age women, she had spent her life as a daughter, a wife, a mother... and telling her own sad story. After caring for her husband through his 17-year Parkinson's journey, she decided to create her own "next chapter". With an open heart and a message she was willing to share, Kathleen traveled, enjoyed and experienced two journeys on two different caminos and inspires us to embrace the opportunity as well. Her book "Wisdom on the Camino - A spiritual Journey Sharing Forgiveness and Possibilities to Inspire the Rest of Your Life" can be found at https://www.wisdomonthecamino.com0 comments0

- Justin Smith on the Five Pillars of Retirement PlanningJustin Smith is no ordinary financial planner. He specializes in wide screen retirement planning, in other words, it's not all about the money. Whether retirement is in the crosshairs or up the road a ways, thoughts, ideas... plans... need to get out of your head and on to paper. Having some trusted allies review them is a good idea too. Justin has some interesting thoughts about this next stage that we are, hopefully, considering.

- Juni Bucher Discusses Breast CancerJuni Bucher was only 41 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. In this episode, she describes the early stages of her diagnosis, the tests, the waiting, the options and her choices. Juni also came into this as, in her words, a research nerd. Combine that with her career in the legal industry and her story becomes really interesting and fact driven. Breast cancer seems to be on the rise among younger women – that part is worth the listen as many of have daughters. Juni talks about several aspects of our environment – internal and external – that can contribute to our risk. Meditation is trying to get quiet. Mindfulness is experiencing all the facets of your environment and your actions, moments that bring us into the present. We don’t have all the answers to all the questions but they give you a headstart on questions you should ask your oncologist. Juni is sensitive and sensible.

- Cathy Jean-Francois Discusses Her DepressionCathy Jean-Francois had had a long relationship with her unhappiness before she received a diagnosis of depression in her late 20s. It took many more years before she recognized what had catapulted her, as a young child, into her roller coaster emotions. Like so many other health issues, you get help when you have medical coverage and when you don’t have coverage, you don’t get help. Such was Cathy’s story. It makes sense that an English teacher would write stories… Cathy explains that while it’s something she’s always done, it’s also been a lifeline, it’s been therapeutic, and perhaps, now, she could be helping someone else. An honest, candid chat with the author of Cathy’s Cross: A Depressive’s Positive Perspective. Read Cathy's blog at https://cathyscross.wordpress.com/ Cathy can also be found on Clubhouse.0 comments0
- Lynn Cherry Talks PickleballLynn Cherry found Pickleball only a few years ago, but she is hooked... to the point that she has a Pickleball podcast and a magazine. In this episode, Lynn explains the origins of Pickleball, why it's so popular... amongst all age groups. The game is slow enough and strategic enough to be both agreeable with and challenging for older adults, but also can be played to a more aggressive level that stimulates fitter, more competitive athletes. There are Pro level competitions for both types of player. Lynn's enthusiasm is contagious and her explanations are persuasive enough that you'll want to give it a try.

- Sheryl Carroll on Hormones and Menopause HealthFrom a banking career to integrative health coach. From fanatical exercise to healthy moderation. Sheryl’s journey has had its ups and downs. Sheryl shares so much info in this episode… some will be too late for us Boomers, but many of us have daughters! Sheryl’s HRT info is up-to-date, and she goes into detail, with interesting insights for our daughters and for us. What age do you want to live to? Sheryl has a novel idea: reverse engineer your life from that date! And… beware the self-fulfilling prophecy when you talk about feeling old or getting forgetful.

- Sara Webb - Meditation Meets NeuroscienceMeditation is as much a part of Sara Webb’s life as eating and sleeping. In this episode Sara combines meditation information with neuroscience… hard to question neuroscience! Neuroscience and so much more – Sara makes it sound so obvious you’ll question why you didn’t think of this yourself. Interesting concept: Gratitude happens when something has already happened. So often we project into the future the event that will create our happiness… gratitude reflects on what’s already happened that is meaningful. Sara gives some great insights into TM – Transcendental Meditation… in case you remember those long flowing robes of the ‘60s and ‘70s and TM being the domain of hippies and free love. She also reminds us that TM is only one form of meditation. So much more than meditation in this conversation. Find Sara at https://www.sarawebbsays.com/0 comments0
- Eric Gaddy - The Live Free Retirement AdvisorEric Gaddy had an interesting childhood that made him understand that no one knows when today will be their last day. He bought into the standard North American lifestyle “bill of goods” before realizing people close to him were dying well before “retirement age”. Hopefully you’ll appreciate Eric’s definition of retirement: whatever you want it to mean… or be. “Don’t postpone Joy” is his bumper sticker of choice. His theory: people regret not creating more memories. Eric shares his ideas around “simplifying” – real food for thought; and he discusses the steps to planning for retirement – at any age. He talks about motor homes, tiny houses, off-grid – be careful, he might have you convinced by the time he’s done!! Nobody cares more about your money than you do… so have a relationship with your finances. Eric mentions his FaceBook group – pay attention, and go join – it’s worth it.0 comments0
- TBW Guest: Kathy White Discusses Her Joint Renewal SystemKathy White found yoga in her 20s, and there’s been no looking back. Kathy shares a lot of info in this episode… as well as sharing how her yoga practice was vital to so many parts of her life. And then she turned 50. Yoga became difficult at a time when life changes were on the horizon. A trip abroad led Kathy back to yoga with, as she says, “wild abandon”! Which led to the series of events that resulted in Kathy creating her Joint Renewal System™ - designed specifically for us over-50 types! If you or someone you know is a) getting older or b) experiencing joint discomfort, you’ll want to listen to Kathy. An aside: prepare to laugh as Kathy and Agnes share more than a few chuckles! Oh, and don’t let Kathy hear you say you can’t do yoga because you’re not flexible! She’ll tell you it isn’t about flexibility, it’s about healthy joints. Kathy mentions the Scaravelli book: https://www.amazon.ca/Awakening-Spine-Health-Vitality-Energy/dp/0062428462 Learn more about Kathy at: https://www.kathywhiteyoga.com Get on the waitlist for her 7Cs Challenge at https://www.kathywhiteyoga.com/7c0 comments0

- Pam Drzewiecki on Powerful PurposeSo much discussion about all the things woman say to themselves… and believe about themselves… and the older we get the more there is in our histories. But “accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative” is the theme running through this conversation with Pam Drzewiecki, who encourages us to find not only a good friend but a ‘strategic thinking partner’. We don’t need anyone to remind us of our short-comings because no one can be harder on us than we are ourselves. Pam’s whole mid-life identity and mission in communicating with other women is summed up in the name of her website “Powerful Purpose”! and the Purpose Den is the she-lair for those women to be honest and supported, no judgements allowed. And then there are Pam’s “Pillars”. Which pillar are you under? Pause Discover Design or Propel? So many free tools and resources on Pam’s website: https://powerful-purpose.com/ If that’s not enough, make sure you listen to Pam’s “Fill The Purse With Purpose” project.0 comments0

Chris discusses alternate investments, their how and why, with some interesting insights and logic. Test yourself by taking Chris' "Conventional Wisdom Quiz" at https://theprolificinvestor.net/ Review his list of alternate investments at the website too.0 comments0
- TBW Guest: Meirav Zur Finally Finds Humour in Her InfertilityInfertility. A serious subject? A sad subject? A frustrating subject? Today’s guest took her own experiences with infertility and, finally, when she was ready, relied on her profession as a comedian to relate the subject with humour. The podcast is for Boomer women so listen in as we discuss how we need to think, how we need to consider, why our children aren’t producing grandchildren for us… because apparently it’s the one area where someone else’s lives can be all about us. Can you step back? can you consider that their reality is not what you suspect? Can you find a way to listen and understand so your lovely family feels safe sharing their reality? Meirav Zur gives us some insights and some great tips. Find Meirav and Inconceivable at https://meiravzur.com/0 comments0
- TBW Guest: Franne Golde on Her Husband’s Early Onset Alzheimer’sAn amazing marriage and great success in the music industry could not protect Franne Golde and her family from the diagnosis of early onset Alzheimer's that was claiming her husband, Paul. In this episode, Franne shares the beginnings, the pain, the joys, the love that follows their journey. Heart-warming, heart-wrenching, heart-felt... Franne opens her heart to describe the ups and downs and ins and outs of Paul's early onset Alzheimer's... and then, of course, along came covid. If you're on a similar journey to Franne and her family, you'll identify with so much of this conversation. If you're just beginning the journey, you need to listen so you understand there is joy, there are supports, and maybe start defining what "self-care" means to you before you're too tired to figure it out. The article that Franne wrote for Maria Shriver's Sunday Paper can be found at https://www.mariashriversundaypaper.com/on-loving-someone-with-alzheimers/ If you want to enjoy the side conversations, check out The Magic Pant at https://www.frannegolde.com/, Oprah's naming ceremony at https://www.oprah.com/fashion_and_beauty/best-black-pants-for-women/all and Music Mends Minds at https://www.musicmendsminds.org/ Franne refers to a great, helpful book, Creating Moments of Joy: https://www.amazon.com/Creating-Moments-Along-Alzheimers-Journey-dp-1557537607/dp/1557537607/0 comments0

Hair loss, double mastectomy, no reconstruction, survivor’s guilt, the fears of parents with younger children, and how her world came together with a community of drag queens. The world of flat – no prosthetics… and how that led to clothing design. As in beautiful complimentary clothes for a woman with a flat chest. The importance of Self care – and that will look different for every woman out there.
