Forward After Fifty episodes

  • Redesigning Retirement
    In this episode, I'm talking to Christine Catoggio. She is an Internationally Recognized Life Transition Strategist, speaker, and author. We met some months ago in a zoom room organised by What's neXT a community dedicated to informing transitioners of the opportunities after retirement and much more. Christine and I found that we shared many of the same views on retirement, a word that might seem a little outdated in 2022 and more appropriate for our parent's generation. So why is that, and how can we embrace those changes? We discuss this and some of Christine's great tips to redesign and go forward after fifty.

  • Brain Health With Music on the MInd
    We know that brain exercise is essential for health forward after fifty, but have you ever considered how playing a musical instrument could benefit your brain? I admit I had the ageist view that learning an instrument was for the under-fifties, even under twenty! I've been proven wrong by established musician and teacher Rachel Halliwell whose venture Music on the Mind encourages adults over fifty to learn the violin.
    Rachel says 'Teaching people to put their life experiences into something creative will be a fantastic project for me - but ultimately for the people involved. It will benefit them on many levels, from socialising to learning a new skill to improving and maintaining their memory and keeping them healthier physically.'
    The launch concert for "Music on the Mind" is in Eyragues France on 25th June at 15h. If you'd like to know more and work with Rachel or come to the concert, you can contact her by visiting her website https://maisonprovence.net/violin

  • Intergeneration and Ageism
    Today's show is about Intergeneration, a subject that caught my attention whilst researching my book 'Forward After FIfty'. It seemed that an answer to the segregation of people over a certain age, let's say over-50, could be solved if the generations integrated; therefore a win, win for all. Moreover, bringing together of all ages could bring mutual respect and an evolvement of new dynamic ideas.
    I came across a networking group in the U.S.A called Cirkel, whose goal is to connect people from different generations. Thanks to them, I was introduced to Alexa Fleet, who I am talking to today about intergeneration and ageism. Alexa is a social gerontologist and behavioural health integration researcher at New York State Psychiatric Institute/ Columbia University Irving Medical Center. Her work strengthens structures across the lifespan that promotes healthy ageing for all. You can contact Alexa through Linkedin

  • The Importance of Sharing your Story.

  • Being Over-fifty and a Carer
    According to statistics half of all women over forty-five will be a carer. You may have dedicated eighteen years plus to your children and just when you thought it was time for you an elderly relative needs attention. In fact, many of us will spend an average of seventeen years being a carer of our parents, partners, or friends.
    We all want everyone to remain in their own homes and be independent but inevitably some might need help. There are countries which are well-prepared to give their ageing population the best, in terms of support, others frankly are trailing well behind.
     If so many of us are going to be carers do you know what to expect? And are we being educated sufficiently to take on this unpaid role?  Teresa Murray retirement coach who cared for both of her parents gives us some tips and ideas that might be useful based on her own experience. 
    The book Teresa mentions in this podcast is Contented Dementia by Oliver James
