In EPISODE 194 OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER, Dr. Deborah Heiser, an applied developmental psychologist and founder of the Mentor Project, discusses the transformative power of mentorship, particularly in midlife and beyond. She emphasizes that true mentorship involves intrinsic motivation, a meaningful connection, and a goal, distinguishing it from coaching or advising, which are often extrinsically motivated. Deborah Heiser highlights the emotional and psychological benefits of mentorship for both mentors and mentees, sharing examples like Nobel laureate Bob Lefkowitz's "legacy tree." She encourages you, our listener, to recognize mentorship opportunities in your daily life.

In episode 191 of Growing Older, Living Younger, Dr. Gillian Lockitch explores the transformative potential of anger with Bronwyn Schweigerdt, a licensed psychotherapist, anger expert, and host of “Angry at the Right Things” podcast. Bronwyn has masters degrees in both Counseling and Nutrition. She shares her unique journey, from a career in nutrition to becoming a psychotherapist, inspired by her personal struggles with severe depression and anxiety. Through her story, she highlights how suppressed anger often manifests as anxiety, depression, or physical symptoms, emphasizing the importance of addressing its root causes. Bronwyn reframes anger as a signal from the body—much like a warning light on a car dashboard—alerting us to unresolved issues or unmet needs. Rather than suppress or avoid it, she advocates for acknowledging anger, attuning to it, and channeling it healthily through boundaries, assertive communication, or accountability.The discussion delves into the role of childhood experiences in shaping our emotional responses and the impact of shame and betrayal on mental health. Bronwyn emphasizes the need to heal our relationship with anger to foster self-integration and wholeness. By understanding anger as a natural and necessary emotion, we can cultivate healthier relationships with ourselves and others.  Listeners are encouraged to view anger not as a flaw but as a tool for self-awareness and growth. This empowering conversation will provide valuable insights into how embracing and managing anger constructively can lead to greater emotional resilience and well-being.
