On today’s episode Elizabeth shares the cliff notes from the last Exchange - The Gift of Years - growing old gracefully, where she recaps the book, “The Well Lived Life” written by 103 year old, Dr. Gladys McGarey. Elizabeth shares about the number one predictor of how you will age. Do you know what that is? Tune in to find out the secret of adding/subtracting years from you life. She also delves into the six secrets of health and happiness at every age. Be sure to share this with anyone you know that is resisting/fighting getting older! By the end of this episode, they just might find themselves EMBRACING AGING instead.

Since that event, we learned of the passing of Dr. Gladys McGarey.  In honor of Dr. Gladys, let us embrace her mantra “Be Glad” and continue spreading the waves of her love, wisdom, and joy across the globe.

Whether you have just launched a child to college OR about to launch one OR maybe you still have middle school or high school children (and you think college seems like a lifetime away), listen in to today’s episode and hear Elizabeth tips and thoughts on bird launching (she prefers that to empty nesting).  Elizabeth and David just sent their sixth child off to school and because of sheer numbers, have had more experience in this area than most parents do. Join in and hear what insight and perspective they have learned along the way.

During the pandemic, 54 million women around the world left the workforce in the first year of covid.  Since that time, women are heading back to work, some for the first time, some for the first time in a long time, and ALL for various reasons.  Many women are deciding to jump into the working world because their kids are now independent or have flown the coop.  Others are trying to help make ends meet during this difficult economy.  Whether you are now back in business, contemplating working or wonder if you might be interested one day, you will want to tune in to this insightful conversation with field talent lead, Jill Purdy. This episode is for everyone!

There is little difference in people but that little difference makes a BIG difference. The little difference is ATTITUDE. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative. Today’s guest, Miriam Troutman talks with Elizabeth to share her family’s unimaginable, unthinkable life and death journey with her two sons.  Nearly losing her oldest son Lee, multiple times over the course of 243 long, difficult days in the hospital, she learned that the illness he has is genetic. After testing her other son, Steven and learning that he too had the gene, she reentered the hospital and the grueling process of doing everything they can to save him as well.  Join us as she vulnerably shares her heart and the positive attitude she had to maintain in order to survive.

I WILL NOT DIE AN UNLIVED LIFE.  Those six words jumped off the computer screen and into my heart.  I want to continually remember what it is to live a life with passion, on purpose. Understanding that there is only enough light to take the journey step by step, but that is all any of us really needs…. Because I share what I need to learn, I invited podcast regular, Vikki Fraker back to the show to talk about why this book (and quote) has been a timely gift from God.  You might not have experienced a hard health diagnosis or an unexpected death, but this might just be another soft reminder to live life to the fullest.

Many of us are in a season of change and for some, you are change-capable.  You welcome it!  You see it as an adventure.  If that is you, this might not be the episode for you!  But for those of you that are change-resistant, go ahead and push play. Elizabeth shares her about her upcoming major change, the discomfort that comes with it, how it is impacting her and her family, and offers some practical, helpful advice that she has learned in the process.

Jane and Elizabeth vulnerably share their discoveries from their alcohol fast, along with some others that joined the experiment.  Whether or not you have ever had a sip of alcohol, you will certainly be enlightened as to the number of things that we consume, participate in or purchase that could possibly “own us.”  Ask yourself, what pulls me away from loving God, loving others and loving myself well?  Be sure to listen to this episode through the lens of that answer!
