Is age only a number? Are the 60s the adolescence of aging? Does a lengthy life equal a live well-lived? All of these questions and more will be discussed, if not answered in this episode. Every decade of life holds its own, unique gifts and challenges. Constance and Lori will unpack the differences of being in your 60s and being in your 70s with Claudia Perez, a psychologist who specializes in working with clients navigating their 70s, 80s and even 90s. The conversation also dives into the concept of “joyspan,” a term coined by Kerry Burnight, a former professor of geriatric medicine and gerontology, to refer to an alternative way to embrace life beyond just looking at our life span as an indicator of a well-lived life.

Sex! Sex! Sex! It never gets old, even as we get older, but there’s no denying that things change. In this episode, Constance and Lori hear from sex therapist Jen Rafacz, who specializes in working with “medicare-aged” clients. Jennifer busts some myths about sex no longer mattering to people as they age, and offers some hacks to getting and keeping the sexual motor running, regardless of the physical changes or limitations of the aging body or the libido. Normalizing, informative, and sex-positive, this episode opens the door to a vital conversation we should all be having about sex with our selves or with others during this third chapter of our lives.

"Dynamic and delicious" are two words that have been used to describe Nina Manolson, and we wholeheartedly agree! In this episode, you will be treated to a private reading of 2 of Nina's favorite poems. Together, we explore themes of aging, body image, and self-compassion. Nina shares her personal journey from being an "expert dieter" at age 10 to becoming an anti-diet therapist. Listen in, and you'll learn how to use one of Nina's favorite body peace exercises, hear her opinion on the use of Ozempic, and much much more.

You will also have a chance to weigh in on our new experiment -- a 10-minute "walk" after the episode where Lori and I dissect the episode and discuss our thoughts about what we heard, including a bit of frustrated profanity by moi when I can't find the "Stop" button on my computer to end the recording 🤣
