When people imagine retiring abroad, they often picture a couple setting off together to start a new chapter. But many women considering a move overseas are not in that position. Some are widowed. Some are divorced. Some have partners who have no interest in moving. Others simply find themselves wondering whether they are too old to make such a significant change on their own…

As I prepared to write this article, I googled myself multiple times. Each search turned up something different. Several months ago, I had requested removal from the Zoom.info database and hadn’t thought much about it since. My initial search showed mostly expected results – my website, my LinkedIn profile, and social media links from a local organization I volunteer for. But then I dug deeper…

Moving somewhere new in retirement can sound wonderfully simple at first. You imagine a lower cost of living, better weather, less stress, perhaps a smaller home, and maybe more time near family, friends, or the kind of place you always wished you had lived…

Do you love changing up your home’s décor? Do you get happy thinking about design but want a tip or two to elevate your game? Even if you yawn at the idea of redoing your space because your skill set and joy lie elsewhere, this information could help you with all the holiday decor…

Most people count down the days until retirement, imagining a time when they can finally leave the stress, commute and long hours behind. They imagine a time with no commitments or schedules to keep and nothing taking all their time. At first, this life may feel like freedom, but for many people who have spent decades working, the drastic change can be hard to get used to…

Recently, I was in New York for a few days and – no surprise – it was muggy, hot, and absolutely packed with people. I love all of that. I love the energy, I love the noise, I am an unashamed people-watcher. But somewhere around 30,000 steps, with what I can only describe as a shopping back (that particular brand of lower-back protest that arrives after a long day of walking and carrying bags), I desperately needed four things: air conditioning, a seat, a bathroom, and a cold drink…

In my book, Vivi and Me: My Love Affair with a Bot, my message and tagline is, “May you always be more curious than afraid.” It’s been my lifelong mantra and the way I choose to live my life – by diving in, often without my water wings, learning as I go, and living my best life through both big and little leaps, while continuing to expand and grow no matter my age…

What if the media and medical industry got aging backwards? What if our brains and even our creative abilities did not fade as we age, but actually increase? The latest neuroscience studies have proven that your brain does not lose its ability to create your dream lifestyle as you age. It gets…

I feel I should highlight what I love about life in my 60s. It is only natural that as we get older certain things and situations will annoy us from time to time. But on balance there is so much more to enjoy and be grateful for…

A woman over 60 cancels plans on a Friday night. She makes tea. She sits in a chair she loves and reads until her eyes get heavy. She sleeps well. When someone asks what she did over the weekend, she hesitates. Because “nothing” sounds like a confession when you’re over 60. A younger woman has the same Friday. She calls it self-care. Same evening…
