June 26, 2021 Dayna Macy -- "Ravenous: A Food Lover's Journey From Obsession to Freedom", Part 1
This interview commemorates the 10th anniversary of Dayna Macy's book "Ravenous". She writes: "While our souls may be immortal, our bodies are not – they are the beautiful, vulnerable vessels with which we navigate the lessons of this world. "Ravenous" may have started as a journey to lose weight, but it taught me much more. I learned that kindness, with regard to the body, (and pretty much everything else), is essential; that the habit of judgment can be softened; that there is no such a thing as perfection; and that regardless of our shapes or sizes, our bodies, and ourselves, without exception, are worthy of our respect, kindness, and Love. The journey continues." Following this interview, host Nicole Christina adds commentary. Find out more at DaynaMacy.com.

June 05, 2021 Jessica Bacal -- "The Rejection That Changed My Life"
Not many of us like to talk about our failings. Rejections don't go on your résumé, but they are part of every successful person's career. All of us will apply for jobs that we don't get and have ambitions that aren't fulfilled, because that is part of being a working person, part of pushing oneself to the next step professionally. Zestful Aging speaks with Jessica Bacal who just wrote a new book called "The Rejection That Changed my Life". She interviews 25 powerhouse women about their careers and looks specifically at their disappointments and failures, and gets their advice about how to handle the realities of worklife.

Jean Ketcham is the founder of "Aging But Dangerous", a movement focused on healthy aging and living dangerously through fun, spirit, and style. After retiring, Jean discovered that 55+ women were not living up to their true potential. Their social circles were shrinking and their lifestyles were becoming less stimulating and less adventurous. Jean began organizing meetings where older women could connect and share experiences, insights, and strategies to help them enrich their lives. She brought in speakers on a wide variety of topics to empower women to take control of the aging process; she also has held special events like 55+ fashion shows, skydiving outings, and an infamous "colonoscopy party".
