Activate Your Senior Sass: Caring for the Elderly with Confidence
Little did Andrea Kumlin, with Senior Sass, know that caring for her mom's end of life would present her next career opportunity. Once her mom has passed, she dusted herself off and thought it was over. But then family and friends started to go to her for advice. Andrea had also cared for other family members in their final days. She had a wealth of knowledge to share with others and has now created a way to help others. She gave us sneak peeks of what she offers. One thing she shared was the "go bag". We usually think of this when a woman is expecting. This is a similar idea but for a different stage of life. Andrea shared what was in her go bag and why. It was very insightful and I can't wait to hear what you found most valuable. Meet Andy Kumlin, the founder of Senior Sass. Andy’s background of living in a multi-generational family and the experience of caring for her mother through the battle with dementia gave Andy tremendous insight into elder concerns in both the physical and financial realms. As she has been asked by friends for advice in the care of their own family and seniors, Andy was surprised to find that Elder Care problem solutions are not well socialized or understood. She is very passionate about advocating for elders and sharing/socializing her knowledge, insights, and solutions. And, as Andy has reached the age of “Seniorhood” herself, she wants to celebrate with other “Seniors” the wonderful older people they have become, with emphasis on the joy and beauty that lies ahead!

Golden Ventures: Cultivating Passion & Possibility
There are so many advantages to aging and today we're talking extra time, extra money, and acting on today! I was talking to a friend a couple of decades younger than myself and we were talking about what you do once you retire so I thought I'd share the ideas that came from that conversation. Sit? Relax? No, my advice was to start thinking now about what she'd want to do then. If she's anything like me, I want to live till I'm 117 with my wits about me and a healthy body, then she's going to need something to do with all of that time. I suggested starting something today, for tomorrow. We discussed going into business for yourself, real estate, direct sales, and of course about her joining my team for extra cash now and a revenue stream once she retires. I pointed out that extra cash means may not mean you're a millionaire, but you will be rich in experiences, time, and available for more opportunities.

Aiming Beyond Limits: Setting Impossible Goals and the Power of 'Never Retire'
"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!

Home Sweet Home: Empowering Independence with Innovative Solutions
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.

Life's Bittersweet Reality: Embracing Loss with Cathy Weaver
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.

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.

Who Says You Can't Combat Senior Moments?
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.

She's Just Being Grumpy
"She's just being grumpy!" this was what Dee would over hear while she was at work, about her. What her co-workers didn't know, was that, Dee was struggling with the pain from endometriosis. She wrestled in her own mind about her behavior, how others felt about her, and the pain! Dee struggled with endometriosis her whole life, even being told because of it she may not conceive. Praise to God she was blessed with two children. Then she was faced with a big decision...was it worth it to stay in pain or have a full hysterectomy and give up her womanhood and the opportunity to have any more children? This would put her in medically induced menopause. After surgery, she continued to toil with the fact that others her age couldn't relate to what she was going through with menopause symptoms and the emotions around the surgery. Listen in on how Dee has used her trauma for healing and holding space for others. She tries to be the person for others that she needed when she was going through this. Dee Hoch is the driving force behind Fire Within Coaching LLC. Dee has felt the weight of conforming to unrealistic expectations, unhealthy comparisons, juggling roles, and being burnt out with no light in sight. She uses her lived experience and the lessons she’s learned to educate leaders on creating psychologically safe environments and identify opportunities for improvement. She's all about creating safe spaces at work where you can thrive. Her goal is to swap out negativity with positivity so that everyone can be their authentic self–supported, encouraged, and safe because a satisfying career leads to a satisfying life.

What do you do when you are facing tough times? Lynne Brown turned to a life coach and she was unimpressed with the advice. "Really?" "Yes, write down 25 things you are grateful for each day and write down your dreams." So for the last 7 years, that's what she has done. She pointed out that you can't plant apple seeds and get oranges. When you focus on the good, you attract good. That is the point of the journaling, what you focus on will become. Did you know only 3% of people write down their dreams and gratitude? "I'm all in!" Lynne said to her friend offering her an opportunity to help small businesses. Although a few months prior, Lynne had said no because she was in the middle of putting on a large event and didn't have the bandwidth. Lynne is thankful she did and is now realizing some of those dreams she'd written down over the last 7 years. One of those dreams was financial freedom, which she does enjoy now. She challenges others now "Can you get rid of the good, to get to the great?"

What They Don't Want You To Know
Not everyone wants you to know about Life Settlements. Have you heard of this term? Did you know that 90% of all life insurance policies don't pay out death benefits? They usually expire, lapse, or get surrendered. Options for your Life Insurance Policy: Keep it and keep paying the premiums Lower the death benefit so premiums are less Lapse and get the cash value paid outl ORRRRRR a Life Settlement - Sell It! David Rosell is here sharing the pros and cons of going through a life settlement. There are reasons why a person would no longer need their policy due to life changes or simply can't afford the premiums anymore with the economy changing. He cautioned to educate yourself about the taxes and transaction costs going into the sale. He also reminded everyone that part of some is better than non of the whole. This episode is chalked full of information for you to consider with your Life Insurance Policy as you age! David Rosell is the President of Rosell Wealth Management in Bend, OR. He is the author of three books that you can find at local bookstores, Amazon, Audible as well as Redmond Airport.

Valmark Securities supervises all life settlements like a security transaction and its’ registered representatives act as brokers on the transaction and may receive a fee from the purchaser. Once a policy is transferred, the policy owner has no control over subsequent transfers and may be required to disclosure additional information later. If a continued need for coverage exists, the policy owner should consider the availability, adequacy and cost of the comparable coverage. A life settlement transaction may require an extended period to complete and result in higher costs and fees due to their complexity. Policy owners considering the need for cash should consider other less costly alternatives. A life settlement may affect the insured’s ability to obtain insurance in the future and the seller’s eligibility for certain public assistance programs. When an individual decides to sell their policy, they must provide complete access to their medical history, and other personal information. Client name has been changed to protect confidentiality. The gross offer will be reduced by commissions and expenses related to the sale. Each client’s experience varies, and there is no guarantee that a life settlement will generate an offer greater than the current cash surrender value.

Love Makes Fools of Us All Eventually
Such a tough call when to call it quits in a relationship. Timothy Sweets cautioned that if you have to ask if it's over...it's not. When it's over you can feel like a fool. Or sometimes we make foolish decisions because we are blinded by love. Timothy has seen it all through the years of his career as a divorce attorney. On the morning of this interview, he met with previous clients. These clients had been divorced from his services. They got remarried and had another child together. But this morning, he was seeing them to help with their second divorce! Makes you wonder how much money they could have saved by trying to work through things the first time. Unfortunately, Timothy has a lot of business waiting for him. His advice was to think of what you can't live without and then go to court with those non-negotiables. This will save time and money and alot less billable hours!! And whatever you do cherish your children and realize they are here because of the love you once had with your spouse. "You are not allowed to hate your ex-spouse more than you love your child" from one of the judges in the RI family court.

Energize and Engage: Stay Active by Volunteering
Who says you have to sit on your front lawn and watch the days pass once you have retired? Most medical professionals say to stay active. Kristen Williams, with Riversedge Arts, suggested multiple ways to get involved. She also shared what it means to be a part of a task force, a committee, and the board. Volunteering for a non-profit is a great way to stay active and add value to your life and legacy. It feels great to contribute to something you are passionate about that aligns with your values too. Finances are needed but so are helpful hands. Who knows you may even find a new friend or two. Volunteering lends to a sense of community, people who can relate to you. Kristen serves as Executive Director at Riversedge Arts. Trained as a theatre practitioner and an academic, she has been by turns a director and playwright, a published poet, and a college professor. She holds degrees in Theatre, English, and American Studies from Rhode Island College, the University of Toronto, and the University of Maryland, College Park. Coming of age in the do-it-yourself punk rock scenes of Providence and northern Rhode Island, Kristen believes strongly in the power of creativity to draw out and amplify the unique strengths of people, landscapes, and cultures to produce powerful and healthy communities. In her free time, she is an avid reader, gardener, and amateur furniture-builder, and is never happier than when she is trailing behind her dog on a hike in the woods.
