"I want everyone to experience dance."

Wynette Smith is the long-time owner of Starlet Dance Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Despite facing a range of challenges, she says she keeps the studio alive for the generations of dancers who keep coming back. She shares her Brief But Spectacular take on the art of dance.

“I hope they continue the heart - the heart part of it.”

What happens when women refuse to disappear with age?

I had the absolute honor of talking with Susan J. Douglas - feminist icon, cultural critic, and author of In Our Prime - about gendered ageism and how older women reclaim power, purpose, and visibility.

This conversation is for every woman who’s been told to quiet down, step aside, or fade away.

We’re not done yet. Not even close.

In 2026, let’s tell a different story about aging.

Not decline.
Not invisibility.
Not “past our prime.”

But becoming.
Becoming truer.
Becoming freer.
Becoming more us.

Aging out loud and proud means refusing to let ageism dim our light ... and choosing to see each year as an expansion, not a contraction.

Here’s to growing newer, not older. ✨

Fuel Your Passion, Purpose & Pocketbook in 2026!

Wishes have power.

Not the kind tied to dates or milestones, but the kind rooted in intention … what we choose to nurture, protect, and call forward in our lives.

At this stage of life, intention matters more than urgency.

We’ve earned the right to be deliberate about what fuels us, what drains us, and what deserves our energy.

“We turn not older with the years, but newer every day.”

— Emily Dickinson

That single line dismantles one of the most stubborn myths about aging - that time diminishes us.

The truth: time refines us. It deepens perspective, sharpens discernment, and gives us a clearer sense of who we are and what matters now.

So here is the wish I’m offering you:

May the year 2026 fuel your passion, clarify your purpose, and strengthen your pocketbook … in ways that feel expansive, grounded, and fully your own.

If this resonates, I’d love to hear from you:

What are you inviting to grow next in your life?

Waving from Boston, and wishing you a delicious day - everywhere you GLOW - Happy Happy New Year!

Ande 💖 ✨ 🎉

What if aging isn’t about winding down ... but opening up?

In this newest episode, I’m talking with Robert W. Norris ... 75 years old, longtime expat in Japan, Vietnam War conscientious objector, and author who wrote two memoirs in his seventies.

We talk about aging in Japan, writing later in life, staying active, intergenerational relationships, and what it really means to keep showing up fully as we age.

✨ It’s never too late to tell your story.

Grandmas are the BEST... Group hug! 🥹💖🤗

As soon as I turned 65, I noticed something in the exam room… and it wasn’t good.

The curiosity stopped.
The tests disappeared.
I was getting more pats on the shoulder than meaningful care.

This is ageism in health care—when assumptions about aging replace thorough evaluation. Too often, older adults are under-tested, undertreated, or dismissed entirely.

In my latest episode of Don’t Be Caged By Your Age, I share:

✅️ How ageism shows up in medical appointments

✅️ Why doctors often stop ordering tests after 65

✅️ The subtle biases and stereotypes that impact care

✅️ How we can advocate for ourselves and demand attention, respect, and thorough care

And because I want you walking into your appointments prepared, I created a bonus guide:
“What to Ask For at Your Annual Physical After 65” — a one-page checklist covering physical, mental, and cognitive screenings every older adult deserves.

Keep sharing your GLOW as you age ... the world needs you. 🌟💖🙏

..
At 105 years old Julia Hawkins set a USATF record at the 2021 Louisiana State Senior Games as the oldest competitor in a sanctioned track and field event. But running may be the least interesting thing about this centenarian, who looked for magic moments in every day.

Hawkins would later pass away at the age of 108, but her example lives on, inspiring us all to defy limitations and reimagine what’s possible as we age.

If Keith Richards can still out-rock half the planet at 81, we can definitely thrive after 65! 🎸🤘🔥🎉🌟

Aging isn’t something to hide from ... it’s something to enjoy.

Every year brings more power, more clarity, more you.

And on Don’t Be Caged By Your Age, we celebrate every bit of it.

Here’s to growing older with pride, joy, and zero apologies.

✨ Let’s keep shattering age stereotypes ... and aging out loud and proud ... together. 💪🥳

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