Ep. 85 - Trailblazing the Golden Years
Have you ever considered that retirement might not be the finish line, but the starting gate to a whole new adventure? That's exactly what Ande Lyons believes, and she joins us to unravel the fabric of ageism, one empowering story at a time. Imagine a world where the term 'aging' is synonymous with growth, innovation, and uncharted potential – Ande takes us there, sharing her personal journey and the viral discussion she
sparked. We delve into the risks that come with a lack of purpose post-retirement and celebrate the seniors who are turning their later years into their most dynamic chapter yet. As the very title of her popular podcast show states: Don't Be Caged By Your Age!
Trade your retirement plans for a blueprint of boundless possibilities, as we explore the lives of those who are not just growing older, but growing bolder. From the 58-year-old who transformed a layoff into a booming career coach business to tales of seniors cycling around Niagara Falls, we paint a vibrant picture of life beyond the "best before" date society often stamps on us. Ande shares how it's never too late to pursue one's passions, pursued and highlights the crucial role of staying socially and physically engaged. This episode is a treasure trove of inspiration for anyone ready to seize the reins at any age.
As we round out our conversation, the spotlight turns to the world of podcasting, a realm where age truly is just a number.
