A Comment on a Comment from a Listener, & an Attempt at Humor
Loving Later Life
Welcome to a unique episode of Loving Later Life! While I was thinking about what to do for this episode, I wanted to do something with humor for some levity, which I attempt to do! But first, I decided to share a comment with you that I received from a listener, which ironically caused second thoughts about striving for a more humorous episode. It will all make sense once you listen! So, I guess it’s also an episode about vulnerability...sharing the comment and hoping you’ll enjoy my humor!… See you there!

Dr. Harpriya Singh is a gastroenterologist practicing at Stanford Healthcare-Trivalley in Pleasanton.

While we talk about that, what transpired is a masterclass in how to experience our life with the most joy and fulfillment no matter what is happening around us. If you share this with everyone you care about, it will change their life. Full stop. Not hyperbole. Listen and learn to truly love your life!

On the 100th episode of Loving Later Life, I say F-You!
Loving Later Life
Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the 100th episode of Loving Later Life! This is a first because for this, the 100th episode, I was not prepared at all. It was when talking to a friend who had recently been discovering some of my old writings online that the light bulb sizzled on. As I was describing how I was feeling about this episode, they said to me, “F-you!” And I looked at them and said, “What now?” And they said, “You know, like you wrote in your article!” I really wasn’t sure what they were referring to until I did an investigative search into my archives, and...

Let’s Talk About the Elephant in the Room
Loving Later Life
The other night I thought I heard something on T.V. and what I heard wasn’t at all what they had said. It showed me what my brain was tuning into and what it was looking for and I had to share it with you. I believe that if we share our experiences with one another, it helps us to stay connected and feel less alone. That’s all I’ll say here, except for please listen and share!

How a Call with AT&T Led to Fear, an Epiphany and then Anxiety
Loving Later Life
I’ve been feeling a bit meh to be honest. Lack of energy, mentally and physically off and feeling like I wasn’t going to have anything worthwhile to share with you. Yes, part of that is my inner critic popping off in judgement, annnd, I was at a bit of a loss. Then I had two different conversations with two very close friends, and I thought, ya know, I need to share what came up for me in these conversations because perhaps I’m not alone. This episode, like many of my solo shows, is me sharing my thoughts, challenges, revelations, in hopes that it may help, since as I’ve said...

It is a big birthday for me this month and I wrote this as a gift to myself, to my kids and to my grandkids. It encompasses all that is me, was me, and I do believe not just me. You may want to listen to it more than once and then share it with someone, and I think you’ll see why after you hear it. All I can say is that I have never written anything like this before. There is really no way to describe it, so just press play and hear for yourself!

The Holidays & A New Year: Will You See Opportunities or Problems? + A Toast to Listeners
Loving Later Life
Welcome to the last 2024 episode of Loving Later Life. This episode is dropping on December 23rd just 2 days before the holiday and a little over a week away from the year 2025. And because it is a bonkers time for all, I’m keeping this shorter than usual. I learned a new term recently: liminal space. Apparently, the word liminal is from the Latin word limen, which means threshold. It is defined as “a transitional state between where someone is and where they are going—not knowing the future whether physically, emotionally, or metaphorically.” The space between what has already...
