What if you discovered how to be happy for NO reason? With life’s unpredictability and ups and downs, we often find ourselves caught up in the uncontrollable ebb and flow of circumstances that impact us. Meet Elliott Robertson, a Certified Happy for No Reason Workshop Leader, World Stage Intuitive and Spiritual Growth Coach who offers positive new perspectives for facing life’s many surprises. A returning guest and author of the book, Say Yes to Life, Elliott Robertson previously joined us to share all the ways we can Say Yes to Life. In this power-hour of enlightYOUment, Robertson extends another invitation to release habits that interfere with heart-centered living, including the habit of dismissing, discounting, or postponing your heart’s desires. Robertson invites us to live in our sovereignty through releasing hold on negative beliefs about ourselves or others and highlights how this can serve as a gateway to cultivate new habits of holding unconditional love for ourselves and allow for a greater capacity to tap into the Inner Knower within each of us. Not only does Robertson have Visions of a Joyful World – he wrote the book! In his latest book, Visions of a Joyful World, Robertson focuses on dwelling in the positive and setting our inner sails so they carry us to bright, positive directions. He’s on a mission to share with others practices that perpetuate living in high vibes and optimism.

At the end of the hour, it’s easy to see why Robertson beckons us to Say Yes to Life and have Visions of a Joyful World – as we are compelled to step into our own power, wisdom and knowing to live authentically from “the expansiveness of the heart.” Elliott Robertson holds a Master’s Degree in Psychology and has designed coaching programs that empower people to live from their true self and tap into their wisdom, sovereignty and discernment.

Have you ever wondered what makes life worthwhile? In this Aging GreatFULLy power-hour we take a deep dive into exploring what gives life meaning–in simple, yet powerful ways—that result in life enrichment and transformation. Welcoming special guest and author of the perfect new book for this conversation, A Worthwhile Life: How to Find Meaning, Build Connection, and Cultivate Purpose, Michael Westover. Westover helps us understand the distinction between the purpose of life and the meaning of life. Michael Westover looked in the mirror one day and wondered what the point of it was. He had a successful career in health care, a stable family, and great friendships. Yet, he felt aimless. His life was full—meetings to further his career, hours of TV, activities with his children—but was it worthwhile? Westover wondered why countless people coasted through life as he had, feeling lost and disconnected, while others approached each day feeling worthy and valuable. He wanted answers. But also, He wanted to feel worthwhile. So, he embarked on a journey for insight. But Westover didn’t just look to the modern era for clues to solve this question…he dug through centuries of research and set out on a philosophical passage to find connection and meaning. What he discovered significantly changed the way he lives his life! He learned that living a life that matters is simpler than we may imagine! And following five types of commitment that are research-proven to give life more meaning, we can all build a worthwhile life and avoid the cycle of distractions. Westover gives advice from being a good neighbor, human steward or even what to do when life becomes overwhelming. He discusses the value of belief in a higher source, spirituality, faith or religion and how those practices can tether and build a sense of belonging and community as well as foster positive individual ideals. He answers the question as to whether its better to have a happy life or a meaningful life and why and even what a meaningful life looks life as we grow older. He discusses the power of nature, the importance of leaving your comfort zone, how to break out of a slump and so much more! From beginning to end, Westover shares wisdom, philosophy, stories and cites sources that educate, inspire and enlighten us towards better understanding A Worthwhile Life! Michael Westover is a writer, speaker, health care industry executive and graduate of the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. Westover’s website, www.echoesofmeaning.com, is a collection of more than 30 articles about human connection, including articles of family, business, religion, and self-improvement. Many of his pieces attempt to look at ancient truths from new angles to make them applicable to modern life. When he is not writing, you can find him coaching one of his kids’ teams, hiking in the Columbia River Gorge, or wakeboarding when it’s nice outside and snowboarding when it’s not. You can learn more about his work, connect with him and purchase his book, A Worthwhile Life, by visiting him at www.echoesofmeaning.com.

In this Aging GreatFULLy power-hour, we welcome Stanford School of Medicine professor, physician, best-selling author, mindfulness expert, and innovator of the GAIN method, Greg Hammer, MD. Join us as Dr. Hammer shares wisdom to GAIN Keys to Nonjudgment and discover the life-enhancing rewards that begin to arise in your life. Most of us admirably strive to be “nonjudgmental” towards others. Coming from a place of nonjudgment allows us to see the best in others without letting our own biases get in the way. However, in order to become less judgmental, we need to change how we think about ourselves and the world around us. Dr. Hammer illustrates how we often make quick judgments every day about everything we see and put these things into categories, such as healthy/ unhealthy, affordable/ expensive, and good/ bad. And how much more often do we make judgments about ourselves? Discover the many benefits of nonjudgement, tips for implementing it into your life and learn how mindfulness, or living in the present moment, gives us the space to practice nonjudgment. First, we acknowledge how often we judge and that it is not necessary to judge. Then we can practice living in the present and accepting the world, ourselves, and others as they are. It's an enlightening hour from beginning to end as we learn about the benefits of nonjudgement, the problems that arise from judgement and realize how simple tactics of mindfulness can lead the way to a healthier and happier life. Greg Hammer, MD is a Professor at Stanford University School of Medicine, pediatric intensive care physician, pediatric anesthesiologist, mindfulness expert, and the author of GAIN without Pain: The Happiness Handbook for Health Care Professionals. A member of the Stanford WellMD initiative, Dr. Hammer is currently the Chair of the Physician Wellness Task Force for the California Society of Anesthesiologists. He has been a visiting professor and lecturer on wellness at institutions worldwide and teaches GAIN to medical students, residents, and fellows at Stanford. Dr. Hammer’s clinical focus is in pediatric cardiac anesthesia and pediatric critical care medicine. His research is in developmental pharmacology and immunology, and he has an active laboratory with multiple ongoing studies in these areas. He has published widely on topics related to pharmacology and perioperative care of children undergoing cardiac and thoracic procedures as well as organ transplantation. Dr. Hammer is a health enthusiast and meditator, utilizing a non-duality and mindfulness-based approach, including the GAIN method.

What’s your story? It may seem difficult to to summarize but nobody is better prepared to tell the story that is truly yours than YOURS TRULY! Today’s guest, James R. Hagerty, joins the Aging GreatFULLy power-hour with a special message for listeners: Someday, the story of your life will be written. The only question is how well will it be written and how will you define the meaning of your amazing life? Will it inspire others today and into the future to live more fully? What would you say about the unique journey of becoming you? As The Wall Street Journal’s only obituary writer, James R. Hagerty, has spent his professional life summing up the meaning of a life and capturing the final story for many. As a result, he has written a book, YOURS TRULY: An Obituary Writer’s Guide to Telling Your Story, to help readers preserve their best stories. He believes doing so may be the best gift you ever give to your family and friends. However, he also shares the side benefit in reviewing your life story and measuring your life before someone else does it for you, prompts us to think about life’s different paths and sudden twists. The takeaway is often discovering there’s still time for new adventures and opportunities to rewrite your script. Hagerty has written hundreds of obituaries about the famous, the should-have-been-famous, the infamous, notable, and little-known. He’s gifted in the ability to sum up a life’s glorious highs and lows, and goes straight to the heart of what it was all about. We uncover how everyone can apply Hagerty’s skills as an obit writer to examining their own life while still living it! Tune in as we discuss his recently released book, YOURS TRULY: An Obituary Writer’s Guide to Telling Your Story, a heartfelt and reassuring guide, with Hagerty leading you to find the extraordinary in your ordinary – the pivotal moments, the failures, the incredible, the beautiful, and the painful points that go into every life, and makes yours unique. You’ll discover that the highs and the lows, the disappointments and the small, quiet, beautiful moments, make up who you are. Looking at your life story so far is a spirited exercise that often leads to surprising places and in many cases, transformative experiences. Over the past four decades, James R. Hagerty has worked as a reporter, editor and bureau chief for the WSJ and the International Herald Tribune in Hong Kong, London, Brussels, Paris, Atlanta and New York. He holds a degree in economics from the University of North Dakota. To learn more about his work or purchase his book, YOURS TRULY, visit him at http://yours-truly.jamesrhagerty.com/.

In this Aging GreatFULLy power-hour as we bid farewell to fall and welcome the coming season of winter, we put the spotlight on celebrating transitions! Join this enriching hour as we welcome special guest, Cheryl Richardson, a New York Times bestselling author and self-care expert whose latest work is an audio release, Self-Care for the Wisdom Years: Practical Ways to Celebrate the Mystery and Wonder of Aging. During the hustle and bustle of this season and as the year comes to a close, this is a timely conversation. Cheryl shares how self-care is the key to a rich and joyous experience of aging and invites listeners to find inspiration in the changes and challenges of aging – and create a more authentic, soul-directed life. Cheryl’s work has been covered on Good Morning America, the Today Show, CBS This Morning and many more. She was the team leader for the Lifestyle Makeover Series on The Oprah Winfrey Show and joined Ms. Winfrey on the “Live Your Best Life” nationwide tour. Her books include Take Time for Your Life, The Art of Extreme Self-Care, How to Survive the Loss of a Pet, The Unmistakable Touch of Grace, Life Makeover and several others. Her latest book is Waking Up in Winter: In Search of What Really Matters at Midlife. But she was inspired to transition from pen to microphone with her latest audio creation. Cheryl’s wisdom is rich with inspiring practices to honor the experiences of growing older while finding meaningful ways to get the most out of life. She invites her readers and listeners to look at aging through the lens of what is gained verses what is lost. She heeds the importance of finding the freedom to cultivate deeper, more meaningful experiences of life. “The journey through mid-life and beyond,” says Cheryl Richardson, “is when we make the shift from less ego to more soul.” Through six audio sessions, Cheryl offers teachings, tools, journaling exercises, and guided practices towards discovering the opportunities and gifts of our later years. She discusses energy drains and ways to become more aware of and efficient about our vitality, the importance of investing in authentic connections, how to awaken aliveness and she uncovers her most valuable insights towards aging consciously, to flourish as a wise and compassionate elder. Listeners will so appreciate the invitation to rejoice in the beauty of aging by cultivating presence, pushing comfort zones, practicing meditation and even building the skill of sitting with space.

In this Aging GreatFuLLy power hour we welcome the invitation to bring our visions to reality and tap into our leadership abilities to create the future we aspire! With special guest, Reiner Lomb, Author of ASPIRE: Seven Essential Emotions for Leading Positive Change, No Matter Where You Are, we discover that each of us has special abilities and talents to inch us towards our aspirations and we’re not checking our emotions at the door! Reiner is Founder of BoomerangCoach, an executive coaching firm specializing in leadership and career development, innovation and transformational change whose mission is to mobilize and develop leaders to create a more sustainable future for all. Reiner reminds us that we all have the capacity to lead towards positive change and shares how this is an important contributor to achieving what we want most out of life. Reiner believes emotions play a key role in creating change and shares a variety of ways the seven critical emotions help towards leadership roles as well as achieving goals, dreams and aspirations. It’s a must-listen hour as we begin with asking listeners what they would do if a Genie magically showed up in their life! But if you couldn’t answer that then, by the end of the hour, you’ll have plenty of inspirational ideas to get you motivated towards your aspirations. We talk about changes as we grow older, feeling like we’re no longer worthy or capable of change and even how we may feel challenged to define our dreams over and through the years. But there’s a few key phrases in this episode that speak to everyone, “No Matter Where You Are” and “Resilience”. In this, we are reminded that while we may not know the answers or feel challenged to identify them, Aging Rebels always find a way. And that’s another message in this episode, as Lomb feels “Your inspiration to create inspirational change may come from your dissatisfaction from the status quo, joyful anticipation of an aspirational new future, or a new insight. To create such a vision and bring it into reality requires an emotional shift from hopelessness to optimism and inspiration, which then can mobilize any group – from dozens to millions.” We spotlight purpose and passion as an important component throughout life and certainly as we grow older. And we acknowledge even when we may not have a voice like we once did, we may still be able to be heard through our emotional connections, delivered heart to heart.

In this Aging GreatFULLy power-hour, we continue with part two of our last conversation talking about grief, healing, love and even light after loss, as we welcome special guest, Ashley Davis Bush, LICSW. Ashley has over thirty years of experience as a psychotherapist in private practice and is the author of ten self-help books, including her most recent work, Light After Loss: A Spiritual Guide for Comfort, Hope and Healing. She is trained in EMDR trauma work, as well as Emotionally Focused Therapy, is a Reiki master and a spiritual director who draws on many healing modalities. Listeners will appreciate the depth and tenderness this conversation offers as we welcome them into the light – and discuss so many important facets of grieving experiences we face in life – including why it is so important to grieve and how grieving has changed over the years. We expand on our last conversation furthering ways we can support others during their grieving journey and even defining our own terms of how we need to grieve. We talk about expectations of others when it comes to grief and even judgement regarding the grieving process and how we can educate others around us when we are in this place as to what we need for the grieving process. We acknowledge that while grief won’t have an expiration date, we can begin the process of healing through light – recognizing our own illuminating from within and as our guest shares in her work and book, Light After Loss, through Light-Shift practices. We focus on a multitude of ways to make meaning out of loss, to celebrate our loved ones, especially during the holidays and special anniversary occasions when we might feel especially heartbroken in the depths of bereavement – to bring them closer to us and warm our heart and soul with love. Listeners will truly appreciate the wisdom-packed hour as we analyze grief from so many different perspectives in an effort to help everyone better understand it towards healing, hope and finding purpose to live in the light again following the loss of a loved one so dear. We discover it is through picking up the pieces of our broken heart a little at a time, while honoring our loved one along the way, somehow light finds its way in. Because love is light and it can slowly open the doorway to a new way of living again after loss. To learn more about Ashley Davis Bush, purchase her book, Light after Loss, or her class books, Transcending Loss, and The Little Book of Inner Peace, and many more, access her blog, inquire about her counseling services and more, visit her at www.ashleydavisbush.com.

In this Aging GreatFULLy power-hour we begin a two-part series on an important topic most of us face at some point in our lives – coping with grief and being prepared for end-of-life. However, we begin the hour talking about some of your favorite TV shows, because on the Aging GreatFULLy show, we’re never cookie cutter! But you’ll soon understand why… as we do make our way to explore several kinds of grief, including the challenging emotions we may be left with after experiencing the loss of a loved one. Host Holley Kelley shares how we often end up replaying all those challenging post-death emotions of regret, resentment and remorse through what she calls our “Wouldas, Shouldas and Couldas” renderings. But this Ground Hog Day replay we subject ourselves to can also often prevent us from moving forward to live our best life and experiencing healthy grieving – good grief. We talk about how grief can come in many varieties and discuss the challenges many have in knowing how to deal with their own grief journey and how to support others who are grieving too. Kelley takes us through the hour as we look at grief from a variety of angles and experiences. Kelley also is a huge advocate of advance care and end-of-life planning as an EOL consultant. She is author of the Amazon #1 Release, National and International Multi-award winning book, Sunrises and Sunsets: Final Affairs Forged with Flair, Finesse and FUNctionality, that has helped readers around the world plan for the end and inspire their GRAND new beginning with her novel approach to living fully while being thoughtfully prepared. Her book is available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble or visit www.HolleyKelley.com for autographed copies. Listen to this episode for a special and limited promo code she shares. In summary, Kelley invites listeners to consider special ways to upcycle their grief to celebrate their loved ones – something she calls Quilting Good Grief© with a “Good Grief Quilt Patch”©. We discover, through remaining centered in the love and energy inspired by and through our loved ones passed, our heart is encouraged towards healing, hope and transcendence, one stitch or deed at a time.

In this Aging GreatFULLy power-hour we invite you to bask in the Fountain of YOU-th! That’s right, come gather around for this conversation all about YOU, destressing, healthy, AGEless living and self-care strategies for your mind, body and soul with returning guest, one of the world’s most noted beauty and wellness experts to the supermodels and superstars, Gregory Landsman. Gregory is a best-selling author of nine-books and the TV Host of Face Lifting Food – a show about how to use food to lower stress and maintain healthy, younger looking skin, shown in universities, wellness centers and in more than 70 countries worldwide. Join us for a conversation beyond beauty, as Gregory speaks to the essence of seeing one another with our heart. As he says, it’s beyond the skin and not “hard work, but heart work”. The conversation flows effortlessly as only it can with Gregory Landsman because he is passionate about his work and believes that “How you age is in your hands.” You will LOVE his acronym for BEAUTY! We talk about the external messages we’re receiving about growing older from the greater world from a variety of sources and how we may be internalizing them, including how they may be wearing us down. But we also discuss what we should “say back” to these messages once we acknowledge them. Gregory believes that Mother Nature has provided what we need to provide self-care and natural remedies for skin care. And his books highlight his processes beautifully as he shares how to reduce stress and skin stress naturally (one of the greatest causes of premature skin aging) to naturally age less while embracing every beautiful stAGE along life’s way. But we also talk about the Fountain of YOU-th, in that Fountains spring forth life and vitality. Every fountain is beautiful and YOUnique. And we believe this to be true about every Aging Rebel. And the Fountain of Youth itself represented the great quest for youth. And as such, we love that Aging Rebels are dedicated to seizing and bubbling up their own child-like wonder in their curious and ongoing zest for life! And much like a fountain, Aging Rebels possess an enthusiastic approach to living, inspiring others through being great Role Models. Much like a fountain offers abundance, we also speak to the many special and important gifts and wisdom every listener has within them to share with the world around them at every stAGE! We focus on Gregory Landsman’s best-selling trilogy, Face Fitness, Face Food and Face Value, a dynamic work he has created that provides readers with a solution to transform the health of their skin naturally as we take a deep dive into the challenges many encounter with their internal thoughts, perceptions and even fears about growing older – even from a very young age. As a sought-after expert who has worked in the beauty and fashion industry for over 30 years, Gregory has developed his own GL De-stress and AGE Less method. Based on ancient modalities that have been used for thousands of years, his techniques are proven, endorsed and science based. They have been used by the global beauty industry for years to teach models how to de-stress their bodies and skin. But Gregory believes everyone should have affordable access to this type of self-care. It's a special conversation about one of my favorite topics – YOU, Aging Rebels! You won’t want to miss it! To learn more about Gregory Landsman, visit him at www.GregoryLandsman.com where you can connect with him and also access the free eBook shared on this show, purchase his books and more. His books are also available at your favorite book retailers and his book trilogy, Face Fitness, Face Value and Face Food is available on Amazon in paperback https://a.co/d/0HrCFPM and also available as an affordable eBook version.

In this Aging GreatFULLy power-hour we go gratitude mode with a surprising twist in Stroke of Gratitude with our special guest all the way from Singapore, welcoming Aanandha Sharurajah, for a reflective, inspiring and educational conversation everyone will treasure. Aanandha is the author of the just released book, Stroke of Gratitude: How to Find Truth, Love, and Happiness in Healing After Health Crisis. And he didn’t just write the book, he lived the experience and continues to every single day. He joins us to share a story of inspiration. A Journey of Grit; Moments of despair and times of great challenge. He knows what it feels like look back upon a life that once was and realize it won’t ever be the same again. Aanandha joins us to share his story of overcoming unbelievable adversity but most of all how he chose to take what had happened to him and manifest it for the greater good not only in his own life but for the world at large. In one moment, Aanandha Sharurajah was CEO of one of the largest wellness companies in Singapore. And in the next, his entire life was derailed by a life-threatening stroke. His life changed in an instant. And along with it, he found himself redefining what it meant to be happy and successful. He discovered that the loss of independence and identity can be as debilitating as the diagnosis itself. But he also learned that living an empowered life after a health crisis is possible—when you choose the path of self-discovery instead of self-pity. He shares how a positive mindset paves the way to emerge stronger after loss and the transformative power of strong relationships. His sage wisdom echoes clearly why it’s important to heal from the heart, not just the mind. And he gives a simple blueprint to initiate the neuroplasticity of our brain by managing stress, enhancing movement and improving our diet – all valuable contributors to his personal journey of recovery. He also shares how alternative treatments, combined with therapy, made a significant impact towards his recovery. He believes he survived this life-threatening stroke for a reason – to help others avoid what he has endured and be a voice for humanity. And he is passionate about stroke education and prevention. He shares the importance of sleep, diet, stress management and much more as well as stroke statistics that Aging Rebels will find surprising. But you’ll really appreciate some other special words of wisdom that I won’t share here because we don’t want it all to be a spoiler. In the end, this episode is a must-listen for everyone! But especially anyone who finds themselves challenged in life. And in particular, anyone who may be facing a health crisis who may need some inspirational hand-holding to carry them through the next steps. Aanandha definitely reminds us that life isn’t about what happens to us, but how we handle what happens to us and furthermore, what we do with it once it does. It is a lesson on life and a life lesson on living like no other. A reflective power-hour certain to help us all Age more GreatFULLy!
