Nothing is technically wrong... yet somehow, you don't quite feel like yourself anymore.

It's a feeling many women experience during midlife - and one that's often misunderstood.

In this empowering episode of the Ageless Glamour Girls™ Podcast, host Marqueeta Curtis-Haynes welcomes midlife fitness and mindset expert, podcast host, and author of the award-winning book Pursue Your Spark, Heike Yates, for a heartfelt conversation about navigating the physical, emotional, and identity shifts that often accompany this season of life.

Heike shares her remarkable journey - from overcoming financial struggles and self-doubt to building a career helping women over 50 regain their strength, confidence, and sense of purpose. She also opens up about the surprising challenge of being deaf in one ear, the resilience that shaped her life, and the inspiration behind her award-winning book, Pursue Your Spark.

Together, Marqueeta and Heike discuss:

• Why so many women don't feel like themselves anymore
• Why what worked in your 30s and 40s may no longer work in midlife
• The connection between mindset, fitness, and healthy aging
• Why strength training becomes even more important as we age
• Simple, practical ways to build strength and confidence at home
• How to stop the cycle of constantly "starting over"
• The story behind Pursue Your Spark and what it really means to rediscover yourself

Whether you're just beginning your wellness journey or looking for fresh motivation, this conversation offers practical encouragement and realistic strategies to help you build strength, embrace change, and move forward with confidence.

And the good news? You don't have to have it all figured out. Sometimes one small step is enough to help you start moving forward again.

About Heike Yates:

Hello, I’m Heike Yates.Many midlife women aren’t lacking motivation — they’re navigating seasons where what once worked no longer fits. I help them move out of the start-over cycle and rebuild strength, clarity, and confidence with realistic fitness, nutrition, and mindset strategies that support real life.

Many midlife women aren’t lacking motivation—they’re navigating a season where what once worked no longer fits. I help women move out of the start-over cycle and rebuild strength, energy, and confidence with realistic fitness, nutrition, and mindset strategies that support real life.

I know what it feels like to juggle work, motherhood, and identity while wondering if you’ll ever feel like yourself again. At one point, I was a single mom raising two kids on $300 a month, working long hours and trying to hold everything together.

Fitness became my lifeline — the one thing that helped me feel strong, resilient, and hopeful when life felt heavy.

Over the past 35+ years, that lifeline became my mission. I’ve helped thousands of midlife women move out of the start-over cycle and find an approach that finally works for their body and their life. That work is what led me to write Pursue Your Spark, now an award-winning guide for midlife women ready to move forward again.

Forty-one “temporary” years. One dream she never let go. And now? Renee Connell says it’s her turn.

The longtime singer - who toured with Kool & the Gang as a teenager - is now acting, auditioning, studying screenwriting, performing, and proving that the dreams we put on hold don’t have to stay there.

Throughout a 41-year corporate career, raising a family and navigating life’s responsibilities, Renee never completely gave up the part of herself that loved music.

Her advice to other women? Always keep “a slice of your life” for yourself.

Now retired from corporate life, Renee is busier than ever. She’s singing, acting, auditioning, learning new skills, and performing as the lead singer of LaPreme, a tribute to Diana Ross & The Supremes.

And yes, she sometimes walks into auditions as the oldest woman in the room. She shows up anyway.

In this inspiring and very personal conversation on the Ageless Glamour Girls™ Podcast, Renee shares:

  • How she kept her dreams alive throughout a 41-year career
  • What it was like singing and touring with Kool & the Gang as a teenager
  • Why every woman should keep a “slice” of her life for herself
  • Why being the oldest woman in the room doesn’t intimidate her
  • How taking one step can lead to opportunities you never imagined
  • The joy she’s finding in music, acting and her next chapter
  • Her thoughts on music then and now - and AI’s growing influence
  • Her very relatable menopause journey
  • Why it’s never too late to pursue the dream you’ve been putting off

And fair warning: Renee’s message about getting older, taking chances, and refusing to believe it’s too late became so powerful that she brought host Marqueeta Curtis-Haynes to tears - a first on the Ageless Glamour Girls™ Podcast.

As Renee reminds us: “There is a space for you.” You just have to be willing to show up.

Stay Bold. Stay Beautiful. Stay Brilliant.

CHEERS to Healthy Aging and Joyful Living, Luvvies!

Retirement looks different today. More women are redefining what the next chapter looks like - launching businesses, pursuing encore careers, consulting, speaking, and turning decades of experience into new opportunities.

Your greatest asset may not be something you need to learn. It may be the knowledge, skills, and experience you've spent a lifetime building.

AGG ENCORE: This week, we're revisiting one of my favorite conversations with Roz Miller-Choice, founder of The Expert Maker® - a message just as timely today.

If you're thinking about your next chapter, I think you'll find this conversation both inspiring and practical.

In this AGG ENCORE episode, Roz and I explore:

• Why experience may be your greatest untapped asset
• The shift from employee thinking to expert positioning
• How to turn what you know into what you're known for
• Why your expertise was never meant to be a best-kept secret

Whether you're approaching retirement, pursuing a second act, reinventing your career, or exploring new ways to share what you've learned over the years, this conversation is for you.

After 50, experience isn't something to look back on. It's something to build on. I hope this conversation inspires you to recognize the value of everything you've already accomplished - and the possibilities that still lie ahead.

Cheers to healthy aging and joyful living, Luvvies!

Are you holding yourself back because of your age... without even realizing it?

Growing older isn't the problem. The stories we've been told about growing older might be.

In this inspiring conversation, Marqueeta Curtis-Haynes welcomes author, podcaster, and Midlife & Beyond creator Jo Blackwell for an honest discussion about self-ageism, reinvention, confidence, and why our later years may hold more possibility than we've been led to believe.

In this uplifting and thought-provoking conversation, Marqueeta Curtis-Haynes welcomes author, podcaster, and Midlife & Beyond creator Jo Blackwell for a powerful discussion about self-ageism, reinvention, confidence, and embracing the incredible opportunities that come with growing older.

After losing herself during perimenopause and navigating anxiety, depression, and major life changes, Jo discovered that midlife wasn't the end of her story—it was the beginning of an entirely new chapter. Today, she's helping women around the world challenge outdated beliefs about aging and embrace a future filled with purpose, possibility, and joy.

Together, Marqueeta and Jo discuss:

• What self-ageism is, and how it quietly shapes our lives
• Why so many women feel invisible after 50
• The surprising "good news" about growing older
• Why it's never too late to start over
• The difference between reinventing yourself and becoming more of who you truly are
• The importance of community, curiosity, and letting go
• How changing the way we think about aging can change the way we live

If you've ever wondered whether your best years are behind you, this conversation will leave you feeling hopeful, empowered, and ready to embrace what's next.

At Ageless Glamour Girls™, we believe growing older isn't about becoming less - but about becoming more.

From the Desk of Jo Blackwell:

I write about the stories we carry, and how they shape the way we experience midlife and growing older.

I’ve always been interested in stories: those that are true, those we are told, and those we tell ourselves. In ancient cultures, storytellers were entrusted with remembering and retelling the stories of the people - helping individuals and communities make sense of who they were, where they came from, and what mattered.

I still believe that role matters. Being seen and heard can be as powerful as being loved. Taking the time to truly listen to another human being is a quiet, radical act, and one that feels increasingly necessary in an emotionally disconnected world

Over my lifetime, I’ve spent a great deal of time unpicking my own stories in search of truth and meaning. It has been a long, sometimes painful, but ultimately deeply fulfilling process. As I’ve grown older, I’ve found myself arriving, occasionally, at a place that feels like peace.

My working life has always revolved around stories: • As a brand photographer, I helped entrepreneurs tell their stories more clearly, so they could attract clients aligned with who they really were. • Through one-to-one coaching, I supported women in midlife to question the stories holding them back and to begin shaping new ones that reflected who they were becoming. • Today, I write about the culture of ageing, and in my fiction, women in midlife and beyond are very often at the heart of the story. Alongside this work, I’ve been married for more than four decades. We have four children, four children-in-law, and ten grandchildren. They are my greatest blessing, and together, they form the most meaningful story of my life.

You can spend decades preparing financially for retirement... and still find yourself completely unprepared for what comes next.

So why do so many women feel a little lost once their careers end?

We're revisiting one of our most thought-provoking conversations in this encore episode of the Ageless Glamour Girls™ Podcast. Host Marqueeta Curtis-Haynes sits down with Cheryl Fimbel, author of The Hidden Side of Retirement: What Nobody Tells You About Identity, Purpose, and Life After Your Career Ends, for an honest conversation about one of life's biggest transitions.

Originally released in April 2026, this episode remains just as timely and relevant for anyone approaching retirement - or already navigating this important season of life.

After a 45-year career in healthcare leadership, Cheryl entered retirement financially prepared - but emotionally caught off guard. Together, Marqueeta and Cheryl unpack the unexpected challenges that often accompany retirement, from the loss of identity and routine to redefining purpose and rebuilding meaningful connections.

Cheryl also shares why the first 90 days matter, how to avoid rushing into reinvention, and practical ways to begin building a meaningful and fulfilling next chapter.

Most importantly, she reminds us of something we all need to hear:

"You are not broken. You're in transition."

And yes - we also celebrate the joys of retirement: more freedom, more time with the people you love, new adventures, and the opportunity to create a life that's truly your own.

Whether retirement is years away, just around the corner, or already part of your story, this conversation offers practical wisdom, reassurance, and hope for the journey ahead.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

• Why retirement is as much an emotional transition as a financial one
• Why so many women experience identity loss after leaving a long career
• What really happens during the first 90 days - and why it matters
• Why feeling lost doesn't mean you're broken
• Practical ways to rebuild purpose, structure, and social connection
• How to embrace this next season with confidence and intention

ABOUT OUR GUEST

Cheryl Fimbel is the author of The Hidden Side of Retirement: What Nobody Tells You About Identity, Purpose, and Life After Your Career Ends. Drawing on 45 years of experience in healthcare leadership and organizational change, she helps people prepare not only for the financial side of retirement, but also for the emotional transition that follows.

Together, Marqueeta and Carol discuss the emotional realities of widowhood, re-entering the dating world later in life, protecting yourself from financial and online scams, and creating a legacy that reflects your values and wishes.

• How to navigate the transition from wife to widow
• Why grief and healing look different for every woman
• The surprising challenges of dating after 60
• How to stay safe while dating online

About Our Guest: Jordan Blair | Podcast Producer, Buzzsprout; Host, BuzzCast

I’m Jordan Blair, the podcast producer at Buzzsprout and co-host of BuzzCast, where we break down what’s happening in podcasting and translate it into practical, creator-friendly advice. I’ve been podcasting for 7 years and have produced 6 podcasts, and I love helping indie creators solve the stuff that all podcasters face: inconsistent content creation, lack of listener engagement, and monetization that feels out of reach. My approach is friendly and grounded in real workflows, examples from my own personal mistakes, and strategies that work even when you don’t have a big team. I’ve spoken at Podcast Movement on monetization strategy (“Sponsorships, Subscriptions, or Support? Choose the Right Monetization Strategy for Your Podcast”), and on how indie podcasters can rival the pros through smart branding, marketing, and monetizing. I also taught PodConf’s “Pitch Your Podcast!” session on landing sponsorships without sounding salesy, including cold email tips and templates.

Welcome to Season 7 of the Ageless Glamour Girls™ Podcast!

How many of you take care of your grandchildren or other youngsters - or occasionally babysit them? Come on - most kids love spending time with their grandparents. And what would YOU do if they - or someone you loved - suddenly stopped breathing... or started choking?

It's a question most of us hope we'll never have to answer. But when an emergency happens, every second counts.

Ahead of the official start of summer... and in recognition of National CPR & AED Awareness Week, Ageless Glamour Girls™ Podcast Host Marqueeta Curtis-Haynes sits down with Pamela Isom, President and CEO of ICE Safety Solutions, to discuss the life-saving skills every family should know.

A former biologist turned entrepreneur, Pam shares her remarkable journey into the world of CPR, First Aid, and AED training, and explains why emergency preparedness isn't just for healthcare professionals. It's for all of us.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why so many adults have never been trained in CPR
• What CPR and AEDs actually do
• Why people freeze during emergencies
• Common choking emergencies involving children
• What grandparents, caregivers, and families should know
• Family reunions, church groups, and community preparedness
• How to get started with CPR and First Aid training

Whether you're a grandmother, an ageless auntie, a caregiver, or simply someone who wants to be prepared, this conversation could help you gain the confidence to respond when every second counts.

Because the life you save could belong to someone you love.

At Ageless Glamour Girls™, we've long talked about the ageless-aging journey - the idea that growing older isn't about chasing youth, but embracing health, purpose, vitality, and joy at every stage of life.

Now, as conversations around longevity and healthy aging continue to grow, we're revisiting this timely discussion with longevity expert and bestselling author Maddy Dychtwald.

Women are living longer than ever before. But how do we make those extra years healthier, happier, and more meaningful?

In this episode, Maddy explores what it really means to increase not just lifespan, but healthspan and brainspan, too. As co-founder of Age Wave and author of the national bestseller Ageless Aging: A Woman's Guide to Increasing Healthspan, Brainspan, and Lifespan, she shares insights from decades of research on longevity, wellness, brain health, and the future of longer lives.

We discuss why women often live longer than men, how to make the most of those added years, and what it takes to age with intention and vitality.

Living longer is one thing, but living well is something else entirely.

CHEERS to Healthy Aging and Joyful Living, Luvvies!

Remember to give yourself lots of GRACE.

In this personal episode of the Ageless Glamour Girls™ Podcast, Marqueeta Curtis-Haynes gets real about something many women over 50 quietly experience - feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and wondering if we're somehow falling behind.

After returning from a whirlwind trip to New Orleans to celebrate a family milestone, Marqueeta found herself staring at an ever-growing to-do list and asking a familiar question:

"How did I get THIS behind?"

But after taking a step back, she realized something powerful.

Over the past few months, she had taught herself video editing, continued producing and growing the Ageless Glamour Girls™ Podcast, worked toward launching the AGG Boutique, and continued building toward Volume 2 of Ageless Glamour Girls: Reflections on Aging.

Maybe she wasn't behind.

Maybe she was building.

Along the way, she reflects on comparison culture, social media pressure, second and third acts, reinvention after 50, entrepreneurship, overwhelm, and learning to give ourselves a little more grace while navigating this ageless-aging journey.

If you've ever felt behind, stuck, overwhelmed, or wondered if everyone else has life figured out... this episode is for you.

CHEERS to Healthy Aging and Joyful Living, Luvvies!

Thanks for your love and support for Ageless Glamour Girls™!

What does it really mean to age boldly… joyfully… and completely on your own terms?

We're continuing our tributes to Motherhood with this special Mother’s Day bonus episode of the Ageless Glamour Girls™ Podcast. Marqueeta Curtis-Haynes sits down with Donna Gardiner Thompson, her sister Lynn Rose, and their unforgettable mom, Alice, for a lively and heartfelt conversation about motherhood, family, independence, style, resilience, dating, and embracing every stage of life with confidence.

At 86, Alice is vibrant, outspoken, stylish, and still actively dating — but make no mistake… she’s the one calling the shots. She believes women should wear whatever they want, live life fully, protect their independence, and never let society define what aging is supposed to look like.

Together, these two generations of women share wisdom, laughter, and honest reflections about living boldly, aging unapologetically, and saying “yes” to life.

And trust us - you're going to fall in love with Alice, and want to adopt her as part of your family. Alice is a hoot. 😊

Happy Mother’s Day, Luvvies!

And CHEERS to healthy aging and joyful living.

You can be fully prepared for retirement… and still feel completely unprepared.

So why do so many women find themselves feeling uncertain, disconnected, or even a little lost once they finally get there?

In this powerful episode of the Ageless Glamour Girls™ Podcast, host Marqueeta Curtis-Haynes sits down with Cheryl Fimbel, author of the new book, The Hidden Side of Retirement: What Nobody Tells You About Identity, Purpose, and Life After Your Career Ends, to explore what really happens after the career ends - especially for women over 50.

After a 45-year career in healthcare leadership, Cheryl entered retirement financially prepared… but emotionally unprepared for the shift that followed. In this conversation, she shares what so many women experience but rarely talk about - the loss of structure, identity questions, and unexpected emotional challenges that can arise in the early months of retirement.

Together, we dive into the often-overlooked transition period, including the critical first 90 days, why rushing to “reinvent yourself” can backfire, and how to begin rebuilding purpose, routine, and connection in a meaningful way.

And yes - we also talk about the beautiful side of retirement: more time with family, freedom of schedule, travel, and the opportunity to create a life that truly feels aligned.

If you’re approaching retirement, currently navigating it, or simply thinking about what’s next, this episode offers both truth and encouragement for the journey ahead.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

  • The emotional side of retirement no one prepares you for
  • Why so many women experience identity loss after leaving a long career
  • What really happens during the first 90 days — and why it matters
  • Why feeling lost doesn’t mean you’re broken
  • Practical ways to rebuild identity, structure, and social connection
  • How to create a fulfilling and meaningful life in this next chapter

What if everything we’ve been told about aging is incomplete?

In this powerful and refreshing episode of the Ageless Glamour Girls™ Podcast, host Marqueeta Curtis-Haynes sits down with 80-year-old “glam grandma” Lynne Bowman - and she is redefining what it truly means to age well.

From reversing chronic health challenges to starting hormone therapy (HRT) at 75, Lynne shares her honest, experience-driven perspective on health, longevity, and living fully at every stage of life.

Together, they dive into:

  • What life really feels like at 80
  • Why strength training and community matter more than ever
  • The truth about sugar, processed foods, and everyday habits
  • Simple, practical ways to improve your health starting today
  • The evolving conversation around hormone therapy (HRT) for women 50+
  • And why your best years may still be ahead of you

Lynne also shares insights from her Amazon best-selling cookbook, Brownies for Breakfast, proving that healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated - or boring.

This conversation is honest, empowering, and filled with wisdom for any woman navigating midlife and beyond.

Every stage of life gives you another way to live it.

About Lynn Bowman: Lynne is living proof that you can cook, eat, sleep, laugh, and walk your way out of type 2 diabetes, along with other chronic ailments. Her latest best-selling book, “Brownies for Breakfast, A Cookbook for Diabetics and the People Who Love Them," is a cool, fun, beautiful guidebook for anybody who wants to prevent/reverse chronic disease and eat healthy. (Now available as an Audible book, too!) Plus, because she's a grandma, expect great stories and advice along with the recipes: interior/exterior design, beauty tips, style, hormones, parenting, and the one thing most of us get totally wrong with our first couple of marriages. Your listeners will love getting way more real than usual about food, movement, sleep, and the simple, actionable information that can change their lives, and their families' lives, today.

It's a familiar scene: supporting aging parents. And it's one of the most emotional - and often overwhelming transitions many women face in midlife.

In this episode of the Ageless Glamour Girls™ Podcast, host Marqueeta Curtis-Haynes sits down with Laura Tamblyn Watts - CEO of CanAge, Canada’s national seniors’ advocacy organization, elder law lawyer, and author of the book Let’s Talk About Aging Parents - to explore how families can approach caregiving conversations with greater clarity, compassion, and confidence.

They discuss the realities of the sandwich generation, the emotional shift of role reversal, and what can happen when difficult conversations are delayed. Laura also shares insights from her legal and advocacy work supporting older adults and their families.

While healthcare systems may differ between Canada and the U.S., many family challenges are universal - including guilt, sibling dynamics, timing decisions, and preparing for later-life transitions.

This conversation offers practical guidance and emotional reassurance for women balancing their own life changes while supporting aging parents.

BIO: Laura Tamblyn Watts stands at the nexus of law, public policy, and advocacy for older adults. As CEO of CanAge, Canada’s National Seniors’ Advocacy Organization, she champions systemic change for seniors across Canada and has emerged as a global voice on longevity and aging. A lawyer called to the British Columbia Bar in 1999, Laura combines legal expertise with academic research as an assistant professor at the University of Toronto’s Factor Inwentash Faculty of Social Work and a Fellow at the Institute for LifeCourse and Aging. Her research spans dementia, elder financial abuse, artificial intelligence in health care, social inclusion, and governance. Laura’s #1 international bestseller Let’s Talk About Aging Parents resonates with families worldwide and underscores her ability to translate complex issues into practical guidance. Recognized with awards such as Queen’s University’s Global Citizenship Award, she regularly briefs parliaments, appears in media interviews, and advises organizations ranging from the World Health Organization to national insurance regulators.

Midlife friendship and community after 50 are essential for healthy aging, emotional well-being, and personal reinvention. In this Ageless Glamour Girls™ Podcast encore, we revisit a powerful conversation about women over 50 building new friendships, staying socially connected in midlife, and expanding their circles with confidence.

Last summer, a backyard cookout in West Palm Beach turned into an impromptu Ageless ChatFest, recorded on my iPhone. No studio. Just honest conversation, shared joy, and connection among women navigating life after 50. You’ll hear the sounds of summer in the background, because this wasn’t staged. It was lived. Real voices. Big fun.

In this candid gathering, we discuss aging boldly, rediscovering purpose, vulnerability in midlife, and why social connection after 50 is essential for thriving. Guests include Camryn Del Rio Linton, Dr. Winsome McLeod, Dr. Wanita Dixon, Dr. Ruthe Francis, and a thoughtful perspective from Stuart Taylor, who joined us as one of the guests’ partners.

Raw. Unscripted. Women supporting women. Bold. Beautiful. Brilliant.

What does retirement look like when you decide to live boldly — and write your story along the way?

In this encore episode of the Ageless Glamour Girls Podcast, we revisit a joyful, inspiring conversation with ageless author Melanie Dragan, who, at 50+, purchased an RV on Craigslist with her husband and set off on a cross-country adventure — affectionately known as the Dragon Wagon.

That journey became her Amazon best-selling book, The Dragon Wagon Diaries — proof that it’s never too late to step outside your comfort zone, try something new, and share your story with the world.

This episode also marks the launch of a new AGG segment, The Ageless Authors Book Series, spotlighting women who became published authors at age 50+ — women who chose courage, creativity, and curiosity in this season of life.

If you’ve ever thought:

  • “Maybe one day…”
  • “Is it too late?”
  • “Do I really have a story to tell?”

This conversation may be your sign.

In light of the disturbing and seemingly relentless news surrounding child exploitation, abuse, and trafficking, we are revisiting a powerful and deeply moving conversation that feels more urgent than ever.

From high-profile allegations involving public figures to devastating revelations within trusted institutions, the message is clear – this is not isolated, and it is not rare. Statistics show that 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 20 boys experience childhood sexual abuse. Experts believe the real numbers are far higher, as most cases go unreported. The most vulnerable are children between the ages of 7 and 13.

Our guest, Kyeni Matee (pronounced Chain-ee), knows this reality firsthand.

A professional violinist, youth orchestra teacher, and new author, Kyeni courageously shares her story of abuse that began when she was just seven or eight years old and continued for years. In her book, The Eyes Behind the Violin: Finding My True Identity, she chronicles not only the trauma, but the long road toward healing.

Music became her lifeline. Therapy helped her process. Faith anchored her survival.

This episode is not easy—but it is necessary.

Kyeni’s story is one of resilience, truth-telling, and reclaiming identity after it has been stolen. It is also a call to action. We cannot remain silent. If you see something, say something. Teach children to trust their instincts. Protect them. Believe them.

This conversation honors survivors—and reminds us why accountability matters.

Content Warning: This episode discusses childhood sexual abuse and may be difficult for some listeners.

“Loneliness expresses the pain of being alone, and solitude expresses the glory of being alone.” – Paul Tillich
There is a difference. But for many women, loneliness – not solitude – is what quietly settles in, especially as we age.

Our guests – co-authors from the Amazon Best Seller Ageless Glamour Girls: Reflections on Aging – share personal reflections on finding community, nurturing meaningful relationships, and building connection later in life.

From in-person gatherings and phone calls to social media, community groups, and even handwritten notes, this episode is a reminder that connection takes many forms – and that reaching out can make all the difference.

If the start of this new year has you longing for deeper connection, this conversation offers reassurance, inspiration, and a gentle reminder: you don’t have to do this season alone.

The holidays can magnify everything — joy, grief, loneliness, and pressure. And for many women after 50, this season can feel especially complicated.

In this powerful conversation, Marqueeta Curtis-Haynes sits down with psychologist, author, podcaster, and speaker Dr. Jody Carrington to explore why loneliness feels louder during the holidays — and what actually helps. Together, they unpack the loss of predictable connection, shifting family roles, grief, and the unrealistic expectation that we’re all supposed to feel joyful this time of year.

Dr. Jody shares why humans are biologically wired for connection, the difference between being alone and feeling lonely, and how small, intentional moments of connection can be life-saving — not just during the holidays, but all year long.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, lower the pressure, and remember that connection — not perfection — is what carries us through. CHEERS to Healthy Aging and Joyful Living, Luvvies!

Biography
Dr. Jody Carrington is a powerhouse speaker and fearless champion for authentic human connection. She is highly sought after for her expertise, energy and genuine approach to helping people solve the most complex human-centred problems. This rapidly disconnected world is leaving so many of us overwhelmed, lonely, and burned out. Dr. Jody boldly believes that all humans have the capacity for good; however, so many of us these days, because of isolation and burnout, have lost access to that good.

Dr. Jody’s work often involves understanding just how we got to this disconnected place, what we need to put the pieces back together, and maybe most importantly, how we collectively do "the work" to find our way back home again when (not if) we lose our way. Her authentic, honest, and often hilarious approach never fails to inspire and motivate audiences.

Dr. Carrington is the founder and principal psychologist at Carrington & Company, she's written three best-selling books, speaks on hundreds of stages globally each year, and hosts the widely celebrated podcast UNLONELY. In this modern world where we look all the time, but we don't see, where we listen but we don't hear, Dr. Jody is clear on one thing: we were never meant to do any of this alone.

I visited friends for a lively afternoon that turned into an impromptu recording, yes - an Ageless ChatFest - ON CAMERA, complete with laughter, storytelling, and candid reflections.

Guests include: Camryn Del Rio Linton, Dr. Winsome McLeod, Dr. Wanita Dixon, and Dr. Ruthe Francis. 'A special shoutout to the man in the room, Stuart Taylor, who offered a thoughtful perspective on not only women and our openness and vulnerability, but also on men.

The audio and video may be raw, but the conversation is pure gold - honest, unfiltered, and filled with the kind of energy you can only find at a backyard gathering. And did I tell you I just learned how to edit (thanks, YouTube) and I edited this show by myself?! Yep! SCORE! #humblebeginnings

Women can expect to live five years longer than men. How are you going to make the best of it? Longevity. The concept itself has been around for a very long time - gaining traction as a "buzzword" in recent decades. It has now evolved into a lifestyle movement. Our guest on today's episode of the Ageless Glamour Girls Podcast, a longevity expert is all over that and has been so for a long time. And Maddy Dychtwald has put all of her knowledge into a phenomenal new book - a national bestseller: "Ageless Aging: A Woman’s Guide to Increasing Healthspan, Brainspan, and Lifespan."
We are in the midst of a longevity revolution. And that’s particularly true for women: Women can expect to live five years longer than men A 50-year old woman will live an average of 35 more years. Women comprise 80% of centenarians, now the fastest growing segment of the world’s population. But despite these incredibly hopeful statistics showing how women are living longer, women are not necessarily living well.BIO: Maddy Dychtwald
Recognized by Forbes as one of the top fifty female futurists globally, for nearly 40 years, Maddy Dychtwald has been deeply involved in exploring all aspects of the age wave and how it’s fundamentally transforming our lives and the world at large. This has led her to become a national best-selling author, acclaimed public speaker, and thought leader on longevity and aging, health, wellness, and the new retirement. Maddy co-founded Age Wave, the world’s leader in understanding and addressing the far-reaching impacts of longevity and our aging population. The Age Wave team has worked with more than half of the Fortune 500 in industries ranging from healthcare and medical technology to financial services and consumer products.

“Empower women to see that their best days aren’t behind them—they’re just beginning.” That’s the mission of today’s guest on a bonus episode of the Ageless Glamour Girls Podcast.

In the U S., widowhood impacts a significant portion of women, especially among those aged 65 and older, leading to emotional, financial, and physical challenges. Support systems – including social connections and therapy, become even more crucial.

Today's guest helps widows and retiring women embrace their new lives. She is Dr. Pamela Jackson-Smith, a Certified Life Purpose Coach – Dr. Pam, as she is called, is the Founder and Owner of Jacksmith Coaching and Consulting. Despite the loss of both her husband and several loved ones within a short period, suffering a brain injury, and undergoing open heart surgery - all while working to find herself again, Dr. Pam came out on the other side unscathed - a steadfast symbol of resilience for women searching for purpose later in life.

Hear her inspirational story. And meet her virtually Monday evening (tonight) when she presents a free virtual seminar: “A Holiday Heart-To-Heart with Dr. Pam,” where she teaches – among other items, how you can honor your feelings and find moments of comfort and peace.

The holidays can be especially tough for widows and others, and it’s smart to have some guidance to help you manage and move through the holidays and beyond, with a bit more ease, finding hope and connection along the way.

Often the trials and tribulations of life drive us to pivot. That said, we decided to re-purpose a past episode, in light of the flurry of recent stories about child exploitation, abuse, and trafficking in the news. Sobering. From the accusations against P. Diddy, the former CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch, to the sexual abuse scandal and settlement involving the Archdiocese of LA, and now a new lawsuit against WWE’s Vince and Linda McMahon, and so many other horrific stories scattered throughout communities near and far - ENUF! 😔
Statistics find that 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 20 boys is a victim of child sexual abuse. Experts say those numbers are much higher, but the prevalence is hard to determine because it’s not often reported. The most vulnerable are between the ages of 7 and 13.

Our guest -Kyeni (pronounced Chain-ee), a violinist and youth orchestra teacher from Florida is one of those statistics. She’s also a new author. Kyeni documents her abuse which started when she was 7 or 8 and lasted for several traumatizing years, in her book – “THE EYES BEHIND THE VIOLIN: FINDING MY TRUE IDENTITY.” Her moving story is one of survival and resilience. Her saving grace? Music, Therapy, and Faith.

Kyeni and other innocent victims had their childhoods stolen, and the scars will follow them for the rest of their lives. It’s beyond time for abusers—men and others—to be held accountable. We can’t stay silent about this anymore. If you see something, please say something. And teach our children to know when something's not right. Protect them.

BIO: Kyeni Matee (Rechel Bryant Nganga) has a Bachelor of Music in Violin Performance from Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. She has been teaching with Osceola County Schools in Florida, for 25 years. She currently works as an Itinerant String teacher. Outside of school, she's the Orchestral Director of the Osceola Arts Youth Orchestra. She also runs a private music studio. Kyeni is an active professional musician and enjoys performing on her violin, playing the piano, and singing at churches and venues across Central Florida. Rechel is married to Chuma Nganga Matee, from Kenya in East Africa. Rechel visited Kenya for the first time in 2010, and began a project: “The Parkway Kawelu Project.” It's allowed her to work with her students here in the U.S. and join Kawelu Primary School in Kenya. The schools worked together to raise money and help Kawelu, an underserved school in Kenya, refurbish its facility. That program continues today but has gone through a metamorphosis. Rechel travels to Kenya every few years and takes community members, or students from her Youth Orchestra, to service projects like planting trees and performing at various schools. Her book is available at bookstores and on Amazon.

A super important topic on the Menu today! We're talking Urinary Incontinence. Approximately 30-50% of women over the age of 50 experience some form of urinary incontinence, a condition that tends to become more prevalent with age. Our guest, Dr. Briana Walton, aka - the "Vagina Whisperer" brings the facts on this condition. This podcast provides crucial information and can help all, whether you are experiencing this or someone you know - your mother, grandmother, favorite auntie, or whomever. Do kegels still help at our age? And did you know that there are apps to help you locate the nearest bathrooms on-the-go? 'So glad you're here!

BIO: Briana Walton MD. I have been a specialist in Female Medicine and Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery for nearly 20 years.

One thing I have learned, being on the giving and receiving end of medicine, is that we are continually changing. I chose this specialty because I enjoyed the spectrum of care provided over a woman’s life time. And as I have seen my patients change and have changed myself, it has given me an appreciation for the mind, heart, and soul of a woman. As life evolves; having a baby, going through a divorce or surviving menopause, we begin to make choices about our care and appearance that we would never have considered in the past. Some of these choices are emotional and based on fear or concern about our medical health. However, many decisions we make are due to the natural phenomena that occur in a woman’s body. These events push us to consider creating a new version of ourselves to address our intimate wellness. I would be happy and honored to help you ask critical questions, and begin to explore areas where you may not have had the courage to speak up. I have learned that women are hard on themselves and don’t take time to take care of ourselves because we are always caring for others. I want to give women an opportunity to address their needs and their desires. At the Center for Feminine Wellness and Surgery, we will take the time to discover what’s right for you and how to move forward in your renewal process. It’s time for you to take the best care of YOU!

Statistics find that 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 20 boys is a victim of child sexual abuse. Experts say those numbers are much higher, but the prevalence is hard to determine because it’s not often reported. The most vulnerable are between the ages of 7 and 13.

In this week's Ageless Book Author's Podcast Series, you'll meet a woman who's one of those statistics. Kyeni (pronounced Chain-ee), is a violinist and youth orchestra teacher from Florida. She’s also a new author. Kyeni documents her abuse which started when she was 7 or 8
and lasted for several traumatizing years, in her new book – “THE EYES BEHIND THE VIOLIN: A MEMOIR: FINDING MY TRUE IDENTITY.”Her moving story is one of survival and resilience. Her saving grace? Music, Therapy, and Faith.

BIO: Kyeni Matee (Rechel Bryant Nganga) has a Bachelor of Music in Violin Performance from Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. She has been teaching with Osceola County Schools in Florida, for 25 years. She currently works as an Itinerant String teacher at one elementary school, and two middle schools in the Osceola County area. Outside of school, she works as the Orchestral Director of the Osceola Arts Youth Orchestra. She also runs a private music studio.

Rechel is now married to Chuma Nganga Matee, who is from Kenya in East Africa. Rechel visited Kenya for the first time back in 2010. On that first trip, she began a project called: “The Parkway Kawelu Project.” This project allowed her to work with her students here in the U.S. and join Kawelu Primary School in Kenya. The schools worked together to raise money and help Kawelu, an underserved school in Kenya, to refurbish their school and make it more suitable for students. That program continues today but has gone through a metamorphosis. Rechel travels to Kenya every few years and takes members of the community, or students from her Youth Orchestra over to Kenya to service projects like planting trees and doing performances for several schools. Through the project, Rechel led a fundraiser to raise money to purchase English and Kiswahili books for school libraries at Yikisemei Primary School and Kawelu Primary School. When they were married, Chuma, as with custom, gave Rechel a Kenyan name. That name is Kyeni, (Chain-ee) which means “Light.” Outside of work, Rechel goes by her pseudonym: Kyeni Matee, in her new book, which you can order from most book-sellers, including Amazon.

Yes, there is a distinct difference. But unfortunately, loneliness is what's gripping this country right now. And as we know, loneliness can lead to all types of health issues, especially as we age, Ladies. Finding your community, and your people, and engaging with them takes on uber importance.

There are a multitude of ways to connect - in-person, via the phone, social media, community groups and activities, and more - including connecting via mail. And please don't forget to reach out to women who live alone with no family, and seldom leave the confines of their homes.

Earlier this year, we launched the first of three virtual events in which we introduced a few co-authors of our new Amazon Best Selling anthology - "Ageless Glamour Girls: Reflections on Aging." The chapters of this group focus on connections and making new friends - yes, even later in life. Meet these AMAZING authors, who will most definitely inspire you. #findyourvillage And thanks for subscribing to the AGG Podcast!

One of my fondest memories of my childhood was watching the movie, Cinderella. I adored her gown and couldn’t wait to someday wear my own. Like many young women, I wore my first fancy dress to my high school prom. I was lucky because my mother, who was a seamstress, made my beautiful dress.

This is prom season, and young women everywhere are choosing dresses and other outfits to strut on their special night. Thanks to a savvy and kind woman, a retired investment banker turned substitute teacher, turned community leader – many high-schoolers in Newark, New Jersey, and surrounding areas are getting their dresses for FREE! Their Fairy Godmother and our guest today on the Ageless Glamour Girls Podcast is Jacqueline E. Barnes, a Community Health Worker. Tomorrow, Saturday, May 4th is the big giveaway, where some 300-plus dresses, along with shoes and other goodies are up for grabs! Jacqueline shares with us how she makes the magic happen.

Some of the co-authors of the Amazon best selling anthology, "Ageless Glamour Girls: Reflections on Aging," are among that group . You may have "met" them in our virtual LIVE event on the Ageless Glamour Girls YouTube channel, or other platforms. Naturally, we had to also feature them in an AGG Podcast episode.

It’s the unimaginable. You’re living your best life with your lifelong sweetheart - your husband, whom you also get to call your best friend, when tragedy strikes. How do you grieve? How do you move on? And what does your future look like without him? Is a new love part of that scenario? And how does one navigate that scenario in today’s digital world?

Debbie just took home a Bronze Medal, in the 2023 Reader's Favorite Awards, NON-FICTION - GRIEF/HARDSHIP category. Congrats, Debbie! (link below.)

Caregiving. Just about all of us can relate. It's a very familiar scene in homes around the world, and the number of people in that role continues to grow, along with our aging population. Statistics now show an estimated 11.5% of us are taking care of loved ones. But who's looking after the givers? We're talking self-care. As we continue our summer hiatus, we bring you yet another great podcast from our Season 1 files. "Self-Care Tips for Caregivers" first aired in April of 2022.

The role of a family caregiver can be rewarding, but also challenging and lead to burnout - which is why self-care becomes even more important to caregivers. It's time to recharge!

On this week's Ageless Glamour Girls podcast: "Self-Care Tips for Caregivers," two amazing guests join us to share their insights. They're Denise M. Brown, a Certified Caregiving Consultant and Founder of the Caregiving Years Training Academy, and Denice Rhodes, a Certified Health Coach, Caregiver, and Caregiver Advocate, and Founder of the Facebook group, Health Tips For Women Who Care For Elderly And Autism.

We grew up as Sun-Worshippers, and still enjoy the light, today. But today’s sun and heat are on another level, a more harsh and dangerous level. If you’re not already doing so, you MUST protect yourself from the sun’s harsh rays, and reduce premature skin aging. And it’s not too late to start.

We’re talking skin protection on the Ageless Glamour Girls Podcast today, with our esteemed guest - Dr. Nkem Ugonabo, M.D., M.P.H., a board-certified dermatologist with advanced training in cosmetic dermatology and lasers. Dr. Ugonabo currently practices both medical and cosmetic dermatology at Unionderm in New York City. Is there a difference between sunblock and sunscreen? What about ingredients?

So many questions, and so many answers that will help you better protect your skin.

It happens to the most vulnerable among us – we’re talking elder abuse, which unfortunately, is on the rise - rates worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic and our aging population. Abuse can occur in facilities and at home. It does not discriminate. What is elder abuse? What are the signs, and why is it happening? And you might be surprised to learn who’s abusing older people the most. We should all be concerned.

June is National Elder Abuse Awareness Month. But it’s a subject matter that needs to be discussed and monitored throughout the year, perhaps daily. And that’s where the National Council on Aging, and its advocacy work comes in. For insight into this serious issue, we spoke to Genevieve Waterman, Director of Economic & Financial Security, at the National Council on Aging. ‘She shares so much great information!

To learn more about elder abuse and what’s being done to fight it, visit the NCOA’s website: https://ncoa.org.

‘Want to give a shout-out to all the dedicated and compassionate caregivers! We salute you!

Every day I strive to be the best that I can be for God, myself, my family, and my community. I am on assignment to help women like myself who have achieved many milestones and suffered many trials. Being an overcomer is one of my greatest testimonies as I have been challenged in many areas of life. My health, my sense of purpose, and my passion for people have caused me to experience many storms in my life, yet I have been blessed to survive. It was through the loss, pain, and suffering in my human journey that I learned to thrive and find solace in a renewed life.

I want to help my sisters through the setbacks we experience. I understand that you have had enough of the job and the overwhelm of seeking fulfillment. Many of us have years of experience with success and outstanding achievements. We are highly accomplished and provided service to many others. Now is the time to take life to a new level of passion and purpose. I call it The Life Repurposed.

Life Repurposed was started by Dr. Pamela Jackson-Smith to help other women find a new purpose once their life sees a major adjustment. She recognizes that making a lifestyle transition is not easy, especially when you have defining accomplishments rooted in other areas. Life Repurposed will walk with you through your transformation to reignite your passion and purpose.

Dr. Pamela Jackson-Smith, a native Floridian, grew up in Daytona Beach, Florida, and graduated from Seabreeze High School. In October 2020, she retired from Flagler County Public School District as the Families in Transition Program (FIT) District Liaison.
Dr. Pam earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics from Spelman College in Atlanta, GA and went on to earn a Master of Education in Counseling from University of Central Florida in Orlando, FL. She earned a Doctor of Education in Counselor Education and Supervision at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, IL. Dr. Pam served as the Program Director of Flagler Head Start for nearly years. She was the Outpatient Mental Health Clinic Coordinator at Stewart Marchman ACT Behavioral Health Care in New Smyrna Beach, FL and at the Vince Carter Sanctuary in Bunnell, FL. She has many years of experience in education, mental health and administration.

She is very active in the Flagler County Community. She is a Past President of the local chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., a public service sorority, and serves as a mentor to young women in Flagler County where she is also a member of the local chapter of the NAACP. She participates in her faith community. She enjoys event planning, reading, being at the beach and spending time with family.

Her passion is the empowerment of the less fortunate. Her lifelong goal has been to be a voice for those whose voices otherwise would not be heard. Consequently, she published her doctoral dissertation, a quantitative research study of Head Start mothers in Florida
entitled: The Role of Resiliency in the Journey from Welfare to Work for Former Welfare Recipients.
