Now I've Heard Everything

When the Doctor Needed Her Own Advice


Listen Later

In this episode of *Now I've Heard Everything*, host Bill Thompson sits down with Dr. Durga Larkin, MD, an ophthalmologist and author of the new book *Timeless Vision: Empowered Aging Redefined*. Dr. Larkin shares how her decades-long career as an eye surgeon inspired her to view aging not as a structural decline or a narrowing field of view, but as a profound opportunity for inner growth and reinvention. Using the physical mechanics of the eye as a powerful metaphor, she explains how unrecognized "blind spots"—societal expectations and limiting beliefs—can hold us back at any age. Dr. Larkin also shares a deeply personal turning point: how a severe wrist injury threatened her dominant surgical hand, forcing her to confront her own identity and ultimately choose to live out the exact advice of her book. Whether you are in your 30s or your 90s, this conversation is an inspiring reminder that you can expand your vision, adjust your trajectory, and embrace life with purpose.Get your copy of Timeless Vision by Durga LarkinAs an Amazon Associate, Now I've Heard Everything may earn a commission from qualifying purchases.Chapters:00:00 Introduction to Timeless Vision 03:01 The Journey of Aging and Perspective 06:14 Blind Spots and Inner Vision 09:01 Generational Perspectives on Aging 12:04 The Importance of Emotional Fulfillment 14:50 Adapting to Life Changes 18:00 Finding Purpose in Later Life 21:01 Resilience and Positive Attitude 24:01 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsGuest InformationDurga LarkinWebsiteSocial:Facebook Instagram ---------------------Kevin Phillips 2012 interview on Now I've Heard EverythingFor more intriguing and engaging interviews each week, subscribe now on:Spotify Apple Podcasts YouTube
