Description

Let’s be honest. As Boomers we never thought we would get old. We were the forever young generation. And the truth is, many of us are still vigorous, vital, involved individuals. But…the other truth is that arthritis is slowing us down. Knee and hip replacements are being talked about. We’ve lost friends and family members. We worry about whether we will out-live our money. At Boomer Banter, we are on a journey to explore how to live vibrantly, healthfully, with strong relationships and purpose as we age… without sugarcoating or avoiding the uncomfortable, unexpected or the often uncertain, challenges that aging presents. Like any journey, we believe aging well requires preparation and vision. We need the right gear and a trusted map. Financial literacy will be our sturdy hiking boots. Good health will provide us with balance and security. Friends are the fuel that keeps us moving forward. And a sense of purpose becomes our trail map. As a former corporate leader turned life and transition coach/entrepreneur, I’m on a quest to navigate the journey of aging well – for myself as well as everyone else who is walking the path alongside me – with honesty, candor, and some fun. With over 15 years of “aging well” experience already (and plenty more to come) I am here to tackle all the confusing, humbling and (hopefully) life-affirming questions you’ve been pondering to help make the journey a little less rocky and a lot more fun. Let’s age well together. Tune into Boomer Banter and let’s gear up for this next stage of our lives.
