-How ageism impacts our choices, health, and self-perception.

-What happens when we internalize ageist beliefs—and how to break free?

Redefining How We See Others - Are you unintentionally perpetuating the same biases you’ve experienced? We’ll uncover how to reframe assumptions about older adults, celebrate their contributions, and create a culture of growth, mentorship, and inclusion for every stage of life.

In today’s episode, we delve into one of the most profound spiritual texts ever written—the Bhagavad Gita.

Though the Gita recounts a battle on the field of Kurukshetra, its lessons transcend time and space. They metaphorically represent the battles we face within ourselves—our doubts, fears, and the complexities of living a purposeful life.

This ancient scripture offers insights into dharma—our higher duty—and how to align with truth, love, and higher consciousness, even in the face of challenges, through a divine dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna.

How is the Bhagavad Gita still relevant in our rapidly changing world? And how can its teachings guide us to overcome internal struggles, act compassionately, and live with clarity and intention? Let’s explore these eternal truths and uncover practical ways to integrate them into our daily lives.

So, take a deep breath, center yourself, and join us on this journey into the heart of the Gita. Understanding your dharma could be the key to surviving life’s battles and thriving in the light of your true self.

In today’s episode, we take a deep dive into the soul-stirring process that advancing age can spark—a time for reflection, spiritual renewal, and profound growth.

As we move through life’s stages, our experiences naturally shape and redefine our spiritual selves. What brought us joy and meaning at 45 may no longer fulfill us at 73. Aging prompts us to re-evaluate our beliefs, face new challenges, and find new sources of joy and purpose. It’s a time that asks us to consider deeply: How can spirituality support us through life’s transitions?

We’ll discuss the spiritual significance of bereavement, the shifting of roles after retirement, and the often-overlooked importance of a “life review”—a time when many of us look back, take stock, and seek to resolve life’s loose ends.

We’ll also explore how facing the unknown of death, with faith as our guide, can help alleviate fear, nurture peace, and bring us closer to a sense of oneness with the universe.

Join us as we explore how, with the right spiritual tools, this phase of life can be an extraordinary journey toward wholeness and fulfillment.

Welcome to another episode of Aging & Spirituality! Today, we’re diving into a topic that’s both timeless and timely: the art of living in the present moment.

As we age, being present becomes more than just a popular mindfulness mantra—it becomes essential for our emotional well-being, physical health, and a deeper connection to the world around us.

In today’s fast-paced world, getting caught up in the hustle is easy—planning for the future or dwelling on the past. But the magic happens when we consciously ground ourselves in the now. Research shows that mindfulness can reduce stress, boost happiness, and even help us process pain more effectively.

In this episode, we’ll explore practical ways to cultivate present-moment awareness, its surprising health benefits, and how embracing the present can empower us to live with greater joy, purpose, and peace—even in the face of life's inevitable changes.

So, grab a cup of tea, settle in, and let’s journey into the power of now.
