A proaging interview podcast focused on dissolving internalized ageist beliefs so folks over 65 can THRIVE and continue to be engaged, on purpose, visible and pursuing new dreams!

✨ Novelty is nature’s brain boost: explore, learn, and let your mind thrive after 65!

.healthy

Experiments in both animals and humans show that new or unfamiliar stimuli cause increased activation of dopaminergic neurons (e.g. in the hippocampus / ventral tegmental area), which are tied to reward systems.

When people (or animals) are exposed to new environments or new stimuli, there is improvement in learning, associative memory, or retention of things encountered during or soon after the new experience.

Novelty is more helpful when there is active engagement (exploring, noticing, paying attention) rather than passive exposure.

✨ Aging is not about limits.

It’s about discovering new strength, new purpose, and new ways to thrive.

Too often, we carry internalized ageist beliefs that whisper:
👉 “You’re too old to start something new.”
👉 “Slow down, stay small, fade quietly.”

But here’s the truth: life after 65 isn’t the end of opportunity ... it’s the beginning of a new chapter of wisdom, creativity, and reinvention.

Let’s reframe aging: not as a decline, but as an evolution 👇
🌟 into deeper self-trust
🌟 into meaningful contribution
🌟 into joyful curiosity about what’s possible next

If you’re exploring what’s next in this season of life, try asking yourself:
💭 What strengths have I gained with age that I didn’t have before?
💭 What lights me up right now — and how can I lean into it?
💭 Where can I give, teach, or share my wisdom in ways that energize me and others?

Because thriving after 65 isn’t about following someone else’s roadmap ... it’s about creating your own.

If you need guidance in this self-discover process, I highly recommend Jeri Sedlar book Don't Retire, Rewire! There are wonderful exercises in the book that will help you find and then fuel your purpose, passion and pocket book - woo hoo!

Waving from Boston and wishing you a delicious day, everywhere you GLOW!

One of the most meaningful experiences from hosting the Don't Be Caged By Your Age podcast is when a connection made through a conversation turns into a real-life friendship.

I love and adore the amazing Barbara Greenspan Shaiman, M.Ed, and it was pure joy and deliciousness to finally meet in person last week! (No, we didn't plan our colorful tops ahead of time!)

I interviewed Barbara on Episode 38 back in November 2024, and meeting in real life this summer felt like the perfect full-circle moment. We met for lunch in the Berkshires and spent hours talking and deepening our friendship.

Barbara’s work continues to inspire me. She’s the force behind and an upcoming documentary called The Coral Ring Legacy Project — a powerful intergenerational initiative that honors her family’s history and encourages social activism.

Our time together wasn’t just a hug in real life moment — it was a celebration of shared values, meaningful impact, and the kind of connection that keeps me excited to do this work.

If you haven’t heard our conversation yet, tap the link in the bio to tune in - I know you will love meeting Barbara and be inspired by how she is thriving and still impacting the world at 77!

Waving from Boston and wishing you a delicious day, everywhere you GLOW - cheers! 💖

You are not behind. It's never too late to pursue a new dream or opportunity. 💖

Real life is not linear. It’s layered. It’s circuitous. It’s personal. And for most of us, it’s full of detours that shape us far more than any plan ever could.

We live in a culture that celebrates speed, perfection, and performance. But the truth is: the most extraordinary people I know have lived full, complicated lives. Lives marked by mistakes, growth, loss, love, reinvention, and resilience.

🌈 Pride is ageless — and so is advocacy.

This Pride Month, I had the absolute honor of interviewing Sadiya Abjani, Director of Training and Instructional Design at , the nation’s leading organization dedicated to improving the lives of LGBTQ+ elders.

We had a powerful conversation about what it means to age out loud and proud, the unique challenges LGBTQ+ older adults face, and how SAGE is creating programs, policies, and communities that affirm and uplift our elders.

Sadiya brought her wisdom, heart, and deep commitment to inclusion and visibility to this enlightening conversation. 🌟

Let’s keep showing up for the trailblazers who paved the way. Pride isn’t just about where we’re going — it’s also about who got us here.

I’m absolutely thrilled to be featured in Vogue Business - what an honor! 💄✨

As a 68-year-old beauty lover and host of the Don't Be Caged By Your Age podcast, I’m passionate about challenging outdated assumptions around aging.

Baby Boomers aren’t fading into the background ... we’re staying curious, stylish, and fully engaged. We experiment, we evolve, and we’re deeply loyal when brands see and respect us.

Visibility matters. Representation matters. And it’s beyond time the beauty industry reflects the full spectrum of age with authenticity and excitement.

Thank you Vogue Business for spotlighting this important conversation! 💥💋

And heartfelt thanks to Jacynth Bassett and Team Ageism Is Never In Style® for this awe*mazing opportunity!! 🙏 💖

Keep aging out loud and proud, everywhere you GLOW!

💖 Each year of life adds perspective, strength, and self-awareness.

You’re not becoming someone else ... you’re reimagining what’s possible and rediscovering the essence of who you’ve always been.

Let’s stop treating aging like a retreat.

It’s an evolution. A becoming. A bold and beautiful rediscovery.

✨ How are you growing into yourself these days?

Waving from Boston and wishing you a delicious day everywhere you GLOW!

What a joy it was to finally meet and hug in person the extraordinary Raymond A. Jetson - a guest whose words and work deeply moved me on the Don't Be Caged By Your Age podcast.

After spending time with Raymond virtually, I already knew he was a powerful voice for change.

But seeing him in person, looking into his eyes, feeling his calm strength, and soaking up his beautiful, wise energy - what a soul-nourishing treat!

There’s something truly special about meeting a podcast guest in real life… when voices and hearts connect beyond the screen or mic.

is the Catalyst behind the initiative - a movement that uplifts the lived experiences of Black elders and centers their wisdom as a vital force for shaping a more just and equitable world.

Through recalibrating the village, embracing innovation, and leaning into elder wisdom (Sankofa!), Raymond is transforming how we see aging, leadership, and intergenerational relationships.

Our conversation in Episode 34 explored reciprocal wisdom ... the kind that flows both ways between generations ... and the personal stories that shaped his incredible path as a public servant and social innovator. (Tap the link in the profile to tune in!)

And the Andelicious bonus? Raymond and I are both 1956 Classic Models - aging boldly, purposefully, and vibrantly. 😁 💥

Raymond, thank you for your hug, your time, your heart, and your vision. The world is better because you’re in it. 💖 🤗
