Hey, Boomer! is a show for people who will soon transition or have already transitioned to retirement and are asking the question, what is next?
On the show, we explore common fears that arise during this transition, such as fear of loneliness and boredom, the feeling of becoming invisible, and losing your sense of relevancy.
We also discuss challenges related to illness, health and money, all topics that impact us more significantly in this stage of our life.
On the show we also explore how to make our retirement years the best years of our lives. Our guests share real-life stories of finding purpose, fulfillment, and joy through staying engaged in life, travel, social involvement, adventure, and creative endeavors.
Hey, Boomer! is building a community of like-minded people, people who want to live with passion, live with relevance, live with courage and believe that we are never too old to set another goal or dream a new dream.

She knew she wanted to feel relevant. She knew she still had a lot to give, and she knew that other people in her age group wanted to feel the same way.

6 JUN. 2022 · Bernadette Wagner started Prime Time for Women in 2018. She was in her late 50's and wondering about healthy aging. After some research, her intuition was confirmed. Positive social connections have a larger impact on our wellbeing as we age, and these connections are particularly important for women.
The program started with a live TV show in Hagerstown, MD. Since that time it has grown into a nonprofit that provides numerous activities to encourage social engagement and help local charities.
One of the slogans of Prime Time for Women is "every woman deserves to be seen and heard." To this end, there is a book club for members, hikes, walking for wellness, cooking opportunities.
One of the activites that we talked about were the Grandma Gatewood Hikes. The story Bernadette tells about Grandma Gatewood's determination to be the first woman to hike the Appalachian Trail at the age of 67 has many takeaway lessons for all of us.
· Don't let people tell you what you can't do
· Don't let people tell you, you are too old
· Follow your passion and your dreams.
We also talked about the neurochemicals of happiness and that positive emotional connections that get planted in our brains can bring back the original sense of joy that they brought us.
Episode Takeaways:
1. Do it your way! Figure out your interests and then think about how you can benefit somebody else while pursuing your interest.
2. Why benefit someone else? Because when you feel purposeful you have a greater opportunity for improved health
3. Positive social connections have a greater impact on physical health and emotional wellbeing than diet and exercise combined.
Thanks so much for listening.

4 JUN. 2022 · Randye Kaye, author of Happier Made Simple, has been divorced and remarried, lost the use of one leg and has since regained her mobility, and she is the mother of a young man suffering from schizophrenia.
Any day could be a good day or a bad day, but somehow Randye seemed to find a way to stay mostly optimistic and hopeful. Friends, physicians and others she worked with would ask her how she found a way to be happy. Her book, Happier Made Simple explains how.
What I love about this book is the realism and the humor that is part of it. Randye does not pretend that we can be happy all the time. Sometimes life sucks. But she gives you an acronym, BREATHE, that gives you seven core phrases that will help you find ways to be happier.
Episode Takeaways
1. It's not a competition, you are not supposed to be happy every single hours, ever single second of the day.
2. Finding ways to be happier by what we tell ourselves will give us more energy to revitalize us, help us reach our goals and meet our challenges.
3. Are we the victim or the victor in our stories? It is all in the way we tell our stories.
4. Nobody is perfect. Each day is an opportunity to learn

25 MAY. 2022 · "I used to be thin, and now I'm not. I eat the same, exercise ... what's up?" Join Guest, Heidi Skolinik & Host, Wendy Green in Hey Boomer!
Optimum Health at Midlife and Beyond. This is a familiar refrain of many of us as we move into our 50's, 60's and 70's. Our bodies change and most of the diet books and research is focused on people in their 20's - 40's.
The Whole Body Reset is for us, in midlife and beyond. Heidi Skolnik, coauthor and a nutritionist and exercise physiologist, talks to us about the importance of protein timing and maintaining muscle as we age to maintain our health and wellbeing.
We blow up the idea that our metabolism slows down as we age, it is about having fewer metabolically active cells as we lose muscle.
We talked about the role fiber plays in providing nutrients and maintaining gut health. Healthy fats play a role in helping to absorb fat soluble vitamins. Dairy is nutrient rich, maintains bone health and provide the amino acid luceine, a "spark plug for muscle building." And of course, we talked about exercise, and the importance of resistance and strength training.
The Whole Body Reset diet is easily adaptable to your life style, whether you are a vegan or a carnivore.
Episode Takeaways:
1. Start with one goal that is doable for you. Maybe breakfast tomorrow that hits the protein mark. Small changes can have big impacts.
2. Look at your fiber choices and begin to swap out some with foods you might not think about but that you will really like.
3. Begin to move and add resistance training.

6 MAY. 2022 · Elder Financial Abuse is the fastest growing category of elder abuse, and the numbers are going up every year. Join Host, Wendy Green of Hey, Boomer! Weekly as she connects with Boomers worldwide.
Typically a caregiver or family member works to gain the trust of an elderly person and gains access to financial accounts. In this episode we discuss Red Flags to may point to suspicious activity. We talk about things a person can do if they suspect financial abuse. We also talked about other scams, such as phone scams and online scams.
Part of the reason older people are more vulnerable to financial exploitation is because it is more likely that they are isolated and lonely. Frances Simon, my guest and founder of the PSGroup, suggests that even if your loved one lives out of state, that you develop relationships with neighbors and elder support services where they live.

Episode Takeaways
1. Be intentional about getting your financial house in order.
2. Plan for something fun, in other words, reward yourself for the work you do to get your financial documents in order.
3. Be organized in your living space. Let your children or contact person know where your paperwork is; do not leave an inheritance of a big mess.
4. Create a memento box and write letters to your children to store along with memories you want to save for them.
5 MAY. 2022 · Join Host, Wendy Green of Hey, Boomer! Weekly as she connects with Boomers worldwide in Failing To Plan - Planning To Fail. One of the biggest concerns Boomers have, is running out of money before the end of their lives. Another concern is how will they cover long term illness, if extended care is needed. Will there be anything left to leave for the kids or a spouse?
We could choose to not worry about it, just live for today, which is unfortunately what a lot of people in our generation have done. Once your regular income stops, your strategies need to change.
Guest, Quintin Pile, CFP, will talk with us about the myriad of things to think about, talk to family about and plan for once we stop working full-time. Consider withdrawal strategies, insurance, inheritance, home ownership, long-term care, tax strategies...

5 MAY. 2022 · The mother-daughter relationship is one of deepest mutuality and painful estrangement. Being the same sex, the relationship makes the boundaries less clear. It is easier to project our wishes and expectations onto our daughters then it is with our sons. Join Guest, Dr. Barbara Kaufman & Host, Wendy Green
As we work through separating from our mothers to become the autonomous women we are meant to become, we make ask ourselves:
· Did my mother hold me too close?
· Did she want me to be too much like her?
· Did she push me out?
· Did she want to live through us?
We talked about the mother archetype which has both a positive and negative association. There is the symbols of The Venus, Mother Mary, The Fairy Godmother on one side and the symbols of the Evil Step Mother and Medusa on the other side.
Our female friendships become a way to heal some of the difficulties we may bring from the mother-daughter relationship.
We ended the episode with a moving story from The Book of Angels, by Sophi Burnham.
Episode Takeaways:
1. Become aware, look more deeply at the relationship
2. Strive to understand some of the differences between mother archetypes.
3. Interesting the similarities of the MeToo Movement and the climate change movement when looked at through archetypes. Women expected to give, and the abuse of the takers.
