In this episode of Charisms for Catholics, Jill Simons dives into how charisms—our spiritual gifts—fit into the lives of those who are retired or in their "golden years."

She explores the common mindset challenges that come with aging, such as the fear of not having much to offer or feeling like your days of meaningful contribution are behind you. Drawing from her experiences working with retirees, Jill encourages listeners to see this season as an opportunity for new spiritual gifts to emerge, especially in areas like intercession, wisdom, and discernment.

The episode also challenges younger listeners to value and create space for the wisdom of older generations within the Church. Whether you're discerning your charisms for the first time or wondering how your gifts may be changing, this conversation offers insight, encouragement, and practical ideas for living out your vocation at any age!
