As we know all too well, aging brings about some life-changing losses. And, for many of us, that means the loss of a spouse. Becoming a widow certainly has its share of challenges and that’s where our guests can really help.

Yet, thankfully, this book provides a valuable resource that helps to walk you through this incredibly stressful time so that you can create a new, fulfilling and financially secure life.  

If you are a widow or know someone who is, please plan on listening to this informative and uplifting conversation. Their ideas and advice will help you more than you know…

On Your Own: A Widow’s Guide to Emotional and Financial Well-Being

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!

As we boomers know, one of the best ways to keep learning and growing in our golden years is through travel and experiencing new and interesting places. That’s why I’m especially excited about interviewing our guest, Andrew Nelson.

Andrew is an award-winning writer and editor for National Geographic Traveler who has made his way through all 50 states as well as numerous countries for the magazine and the website. He served as director of editorial projects for National Geographic Travel in Washington, D.C. and throughout her career, he has no doubt been lucky enough to witness many beautiful and awe-inspiring sights.

We are especially lucky to have him join us to share all about a must-read book from National Geographic called Here Not There: 100 Unexpected Travel Destinations. I know each of you is going to want to have this one on your coffee table so that you can come back to it time after time.
