  • Aging Well Starts with a Plan: Dr. Corinne Auman
    Feb 19 2025

    If you had to make an important healthcare decision today, would you know what to do?

    My guest, Dr. Corinne Auman, is an expert in aging. She helps people and families figure out senior healthcare, retirement planning, and life’s unexpected changes. She’s a psychologist, CEO of Choice Care Navigators, and author of Keenagers.

    Most of us don’t think about aging until we have to, like when a parent falls or we realize our own home might not work for us as we get older. Suddenly, we’re faced with tough choices about Medicare, long-term care, and what it means to age well.

    Today, Dr. Auman shares why planning ahead is so important, how to talk to loved ones about it, and what steps you can take now to have more options later. I think you’ll find this episode both eye-opening and helpful.

    We discussed:

    Start planning your future home in your 50s

    What we often get wrong about retirement communities

    How to bring your loved ones into the conversation

    The 3 main phases of retirement

    Who we can turn to for guidance on our next steps

  • How Women Navigate Life’s Transitions with T. Kari Mitchell
    Feb 5 2025

    Today, we’re taking a different approach. Instead of focusing on men’s transitions, we’re diving into the journey women face in their next chapter.

    My guest, T. Kari Mitchell (TK), is a transformational speaker, author, and integrative wellness coach who has dedicated her second half to helping women reclaim their health, confidence, purpose, and power after retirement so they can truly flourish in their golden years.

    After 32 years as a teacher, she boldly transitioned into holistic coaching and motivational speaking at 62. Now, through her programs, TK helps boomers overcome challenges and rediscover their potential. We explore the transitions women face, including shifting identities, hormonal changes, and societal expectations.

    Guys, this is the episode to share with the women in your life because growth is better when we do it together. TK’s energy is contagious, and I think you’ll walk away with a new perspective on how we can all grow into the next stage of life.

    We covered:

    The mindset shifts that help women step into their next chapter with confidence

    How past experiences can open the door to new passions and opportunities

    The societal challenges that women face as they age (and how to push back)

    Practical ways men can better support the women in their lives

    How women can start reclaiming their purpose today

  • Boredom is Optional with Paul Wilson
    Jan 22 2025

    With freedom comes the risk of losing direction. When we’re younger, the world feels full of possibilities. But as we get older, our focus narrows—one job, one partner, one path. Over time, our routines can make it harder to see new opportunities.

    In this episode, Paul Wilson explains how mental blocks can keep us stuck and shares how to break free and explore what’s still out there. After a bicycle accident and a broken arm in 2017, Paul found a new career path.

    Now, Paul is a life coach, business coach, and hypnotherapist who helps people overcome feeling stuck through his practice, A Happy Head. He developed the Shift Process, a method that uses small mindset shifts to create big transformations.

    Paul shares how to remove the mental “blinkers” that limit personal growth, especially as we navigate life transitions like retirement.

    How a broken arm led to a new career

    When Paul realized he had found a superpower

    3 ways to discover new hobbies or interests

    What hypnosis can do for you (and what it can’t)

    The difference one phone call can make for retirees
