We all want to control our lives.

AI And The Older Adult

a2a - the art 2 aging ·

2026/03/20

Older adults continue to have a tough time getting their resumes in front of employers.There’s this thing called AI that has become yet another obstacle for those older folks who are trying to return to the workplace – either out of need or the simple desire to remain productive.Heap AI on top of ageism and you have a formidable barrier to overcome.Well, if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em, as the old saw goes.Paul Chaney is 70 years old and he is a solo entrepreneur. He uses AI every day and is making

Marketing To The Older Adult

a2a - the art 2 aging ·

2026/03/13

When we think about marketing or its close cousin, advertising, we often think Madison Avenue in New York and the famous TV series, Mad Men, about the men and women who populated the early days of mass marketing and advertising.That series had liberal doses of sexism in each episode along with heavy smoking and drinking, all of which was perfectly accepted and tolerated back then.What it didn’t have was any reference or after thought to ageism. It was a time in America when the vast majority were

Love And Forgiveness In Our Third Act

a2a - the art 2 aging ·

2026/03/11

In the Gospel of Matthew, we find this statement: “Love thy neighbor as thyself.”For many of us older adults, we have been carrying resentments big and small for a long time and the notion of loving those around us can be a tall order at times.Wayne Lehrer, author of The Art of Conscious Aging, recommends what he calls a reconciliation - a balancing of the scales through which we first forgive ourselves before we can truly love ourselves, and only then do we have the capacity to fully love those

If you are an older adult over 55, there is a good chance you wake up on a Monday morning with aching knees after an active weekend.Not unusual at all. Fully 25% of adults over 55 have chronic knee pain and if you’re over 75, that percentage rises to 50%.More and more of us older adults want to remain fit so we might engage in strenuous sports with gusto.Only to pay the price the following morning.So do you grab the Tylenol and down a couple with your coffee?Or do you reach for a new device called

Lucid Dreams As We Age

2026/02/27

There is one thing that we humans everywhere have in common.We all dream.We daydream; we let our thoughts wander off without attempting to control them.We dream at night when we sleep. Often, we don’t remember our dreams. Sometimes we don’t even realize that we have even dreamt at all.But, one way or the other, we all dream.Our guest this week on The Art 2 Aging is Robert Waggoner, author of the best selling book, Lucid Dreaming – Gateway to the Inner Self and his follow-up book, Lucid Dreaming,

Re-remembering Yourself

2026/02/20

Let’s say you have retired – willingly or unwillingly – and you now find yourself with a lot of time on your hands that you never had when you were working and raising a family.After the initial feeling of “being on holiday” has passed, you feel like the days start dragging by, each day the same as the next, your life becoming unstructured and without direction.This is not unusual for those older adults who stop what they have been doing for years.The sense of self vanishes and you begin to struggle

Challenge Yourself!

2026/02/13

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that ageism shows up in gyms and fitness classes.Why wouldn’t it?Ageism is a prejudice carried in the minds of people. So, if a fitness instructor leans that way, then his or her classes will reflect that in the workout.“You shouldn’t pick up that big dumbbell. Try the little one, dear.”Our guest this week on The Art 2 Aging is Erin Eleu, a functional aging specialist, whose mission is to highlight ageism in the fitness world.But more than that, Erin walks her talk;

How To Meditate

2026/02/06

If you are a regular listener to The Art 2 Aging, then you likely grew up in the 60s, an astonishing time to be young and alive.First, there was the massive transition in music. Then came the drugs. Alongside the negative aspects of the drug culture, emerged something that we can call New Consciousness, for lack of a better term.New Consciousness meant exploring the inner depths of one’s self. Transcendental meditation burst into the culture as one popular method and the exploration of the soul was

As world populations age, there are numerous challenges around how to take care of older adults who need help. Most often, they surround healthcare systems.However, one aspect of aging populations may not get the same amount of attention: caregiving.More and more of us unwittingly become caregivers for a loved one, most often an aging parent.In December, The Art 2 Aging featured an interview with Debbie Howard, a former caregiver who is working hard to create support in her community in Texas for

The world is a frightening place right now. Frankly, there are few times in history when it hasn’t been.Fear of the future has been ratcheting higher and higher since You-Know-Who entered office for the second time.But fear lives in the minds of each of us regardless of geopolitics; it’s an emotion that we experience almost more than its opposite, love.How do we deal with it? Especially if we are older adults with less time in front of us than behind us?There are many ways and strategies that we can

Ageism In The Gym?

a2a - the art 2 aging ·

2026/01/21

We all know that physical activity goes directly to lifespan and, indeed, healthspan - how healthily we are living our lives.That message has been embraced by those of us who are older adults; we get the connection between being strong and flexible and living a fit life.That’s why many older adults will happily join a local gym, determined to regain strength or increase it.Unfortunately, what do many find? Ageism. Not in the workplace this time. But in the fitness class, perhaps the last place they

Family Caregiving

There are nearly 60 MILLION Americans who are unpaid caregivers today.Now think about that; these are people who likely have full time jobs working 40 hours a week and who are working another 26 hours a week on average looking after an aging loved one.It’s a tough picture and it’s made worse by the lack of any kind of support available in the United States.Certainly this long term healthcare crisis (and it is a crisis by any definition of that word) is not exclusive to America alone.There are aging
