Consciously Unconscious

The Path to Longevity: Blue Zones, Purpose, & Aging Gracefully


Listen Later

In our very first virtual episode (!!), we’re tuning in from two very different but equally nostalgic places; Jessa from her childhood home in upstate New York, and Amanda from the magic of Aspen. We catch up on all the post-Europe reintegration feelings & Amanda’s family time in the mountains.

But the heart of this week’s conversation? Blue Zones - those rare places in the world where people consistently live past 100 and do it with joy, grace, and community. We unpack Dan Buettner’s groundbreaking research and the nine pillars that define Blue Zone living from natural movement and strong social ties to living with purpose and eating with intention.

We talk about the sovereignty you have to shape your environment, choose your daily rituals, and create a meaningful life…no matter where you live. Plus, how we’re integrating these insights into our own lives post-travel, post-chaos, and back in the flow.

Spoiler: there’s definitely more to say on this, so consider this Part One.
