Although age does have its advantages, we know all-too-well that becoming a senior citizen does have its share of challenges. One of the most challenging is facing our own mortality. Despite this rather formidable concept, however, there’s been an idea that’s been sweeping both Europe and the U.S—and that is the phenomenon known as Swedish Death Cleaning.

 

Our guest, Dr. Regina Lark is a well-known entrepreneur, speaker, and author. In 2008 she founded A Clear Path, a professional organizing and productivity company whereby Regina and her team of “ninja organizers” provide professional physical, emotional, and psychological support for people who wish to clear clutter and chaos from their lives.

Regina is joining us to share her thoughts on Swedish Death Cleaning and the ways that organizing our clutter can provide great benefits to multiple areas of our lives. Not only does clearing the clutter enhance our immediate living environment, it enhances our emotional health and overall wellbeing.

If you want to find out more about the numerous benefits you will reap from the practice of Swedish Death Cleaning, you won’t want to miss this show!

Aging can bring about its share of challenges. Some of us are now widowed, some of us are divorced and some of us have remained single our entire lives. There can be a certain stigma to being single. However, if we are honest with ourselves, many of us know that the single life can be both fulfilling and fun. And that’s where today’s guest comes in.

Bella DePaulo (who received her Ph.D. from Harvard University) has always been single and always will be. In fact, The Atlantic calls her “America’s foremost thinker and writer on the single experience.” Her TEDx talk, What No One Ever Told You About People Who Are Single, has been viewed more than 1.7 million times.

We are thrilled to have her join us today to share all about her book entitled. Single at Heart: The Power, Freedom, and Heart-Filling Joy of Single Life. If you are living single or knows someone who is, you’ll want to make sure you hear what Dr. DePaulo has to share!
