Join two 25-year veterans representing the elder justice profession as they provide an overview of the troubling trends they have seen with the burgeoning problem of elder abuse. Their focus will be on financial exploitation—perpetrated by a broad spectrum of offenders, including strangers and people known to their older targets.  The presenters will also address key challenges and threats to the physical and financial safety of older people, including the proposed dismantling of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and its Office for Older Americans, along with other concerning issues at the federal, state and local level that are leaving thousands of older people at the mercy of financial predators. Topics will include financial grooming (a.k.a. “pig-butchering”), crypto scams, romance scams, and the growth of transnational crime rings that are targeting American seniors to the tune of billions in losses. About the Speakers Jenefer Duane is an elder justice advocate and consultant. Duane is a former senior program analyst in the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's (CFPB) Office for Older Americans. With 40 years in aging services and consumer protection, she specializes in prevention, response, investigation, prosecution and resolution of cases of elder financial exploitation. At the CFPB, she led the development of the national Elder Financial Protection and Response Network program. She was the agency lead for the award-winning Money Smart for Older Adults program with the FDIC. She also led several CFPB-FinCin initiatives to strengthen the suspicious-activity reporting and investigation of elder financial exploitation.  Paul Greenwood is a former deputy district attorney and an AARP consultant. Greenwood headed up the Elder Abuse Prosecution Unit at the San Diego DA's Office for 22 years. In 1999 California Lawyer magazine named Paul as one of their top 20 lawyers of the year in recognition of his pioneering efforts to pursue justice on behalf of senior citizens. He has prosecuted more than 750 felony cases of physical, sexual, emotional and financial elder abuse. He has also prosecuted 10 murder cases, including one death penalty case. In March 2018 Greenwood retired from the San Diego DA's office to concentrate on sharing lessons learned from his elder abuse prosecutions with a wider audience. In October 2018 he was given a lifetime achievement award by his former office. Greenwood now spends much of his post retirement time speaking on behalf of AARP nationally, consulting on elder abuse cases, testifying as an expert witness and providing trainings to law enforcement and Adult Protective Services agencies across the country and internationally. He is also involved as the criminal justice board member of the National Adult Protective Services Association. A Grownups Member-led Forum program.

Research shows that happiness reaches its lowest point in midlife, even while life is still very much in motion.What if this uneasy chapter is not a sign that something is wrong, but a shift in perspective, as expectations change and women begin questioning how they want the second half of life to feel?For this conversation, I'm joined by aging expert Debra Whitman. We talk about why mindset can influence longevity, why relationships shape long-term health more than diet or exercise, and how aging can become a period of clarity and choice.Debra Whitman is Chief Public Policy Officer at AARP and author of The Second Fifty: Answers to the 7 Biggest Questions of Mid-Life and Beyond. She is a PhD economist and former Staff Director for the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging.

When you think about retirement, what do you see yourself doing? A lot of people don't have an answer to that question, and that's where loneliness can start to creep in. This episode looks at the AARP 2025 loneliness survey, which found that 40% of adults over 45 report feeling lonely. That's the highest it's been since they started tracking this back in 2010. We talk about why loneliness often goes unrecognized, who it affects most, and how the transition to retirement can catch you off guard if you're not prepared for it. Planning for what you're actually going to do with your time matters just as much as planning your income. It's how you build connection, keep your sense of purpose, and protect your wellbeing as you move into this next phase.--

B”H Today's episode is with Emily Guy Birken — Plutus Award–winning financial writer, author of five personal finance books, and a longtime friend of the show. Emily is back with a story you need to hear. If you've followed Emily's work — from The 5 Years Before You Retire to End Financial Stress Now — you know she makes complex financial topics feel clear, relatable, even comforting. She's written for AARP, Fast Company, Yahoo Finance… and she's been helping readers make smart money decisions for over a decade. But today, Emily's not here to talk about retirement, Social Security, or gamification. Today, she's here to share something far more personal — and honestly, shocking. Because despite being raised by a financial planner… despite knowing estate planning backwards and forwards… despite doing everything “right”… Emily lived through a $5.5 million inheritance nightmare that will make you rethink how you set up your own estate plan. What went wrong, how it could've been prevented, and the lessons we all need to hear — that's what this conversation is about. Here's Emily Guy Birken. You can find Emily at emilyguybirken.com and all of her books on Amazon or anywhere books are sold. The post 457: The $5.5 Million Inheritance Theft You Need to Know About with Emily Guy Birken appeared first on Yael Trusch.

Jeff & Shannon celebrate Jeff's birthday (shared with Lincoln's 217th), shred Dataset 12's coded journals exposing a teenage victim's nightmare as a human incubator in Epstein's depraved breeding program, connect Bannon's Epstein ties, and call out elite protection rackets. Tune in at Rumble, YouTube, X and Red State Talk Radio! Patriots, hold on tight—this episode packs a patriotic punch from start to finish in **Season 8, Episode 029, "The Coded Journals in the Epstein Files That Hide a Teenage Girl's Horrific Story"**! @intheMatrixxx and @shadygrooove kick things off with a massive surprise birthday bash for Jeff (@intheMatrixxx), who shares the date with Abraham Lincoln's 217th birthday. Custom songs from Mikey Mariano, AARP memes, viewer Rumble rants, gift subs, and even a special "Happy birthday, Jeffrey, you're a true patriot" text straight from President Trump set the high-energy tone. Jeff reflects on his premature birth in the Land of Lincoln, breech at 5.7 ounces, and growing up with the Emancipation Proclamation on the wall—perfect backdrop for honoring the man who kept America from being torn apart by globalist bankers. Then the show dives straight into the gut-wrenching core: **Dataset 12** from the justice.gov/Epstein files, released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. These are the raw, coded journals of a teenage victim starting at age 16—magazine cutouts, glued birthday cards for her 16th, sonograms, Sylvia Plath poems with underlined lines, and vertically readable handwritten codes documenting years of sexual slavery, repeated forced pregnancies, and babies ripped away minutes after birth, sometimes with Ghislaine Maxwell in the room ordering her to "close your eyes." She names the monsters: Leon Black (violent rapes), George Mitchell, Ted Leonsis, Steve Case, James Kimsey, John Colgan, "The Gregorys," and more from the flights and yachts of horror. The victim describes being used as a "human incubator" for a so-called superior gene pool—Epstein's eugenics obsession tied to hair color, eye color, musical talent—feeling "very Nazi-like" in her own words. This isn't speculation; it's her documented trauma, provable in court, exposing a systematic breeding program the mainstream media blackouts while obsessing over distractions. Jeff and Shannon connect the dots they've been targeted for years over: genetics, bloodlines, MKUltra-style programming, hot/cold treatment, compartmentalized minds, and the "born in" pattern from historical operations like Paperclip. They contrast this hard evidence against Pizzagate-style noise, slam the two-tiered justice system protecting elites, and spotlight networks working overtime to silence the truth—including deep ties like Steve Bannon borrowing Epstein's plane (not friendship, but partnership and cohorts), his silence on the files, and contradictions to his public MAGA persona. They also break down the Super Bowl LIX Bad Bunny halftime viewership crash (nearly 20% drops in markets like Boston and Seattle), elite disconnect, virtue-signaling rage bait, and the NFL's shame—plus a quick hat tip to Pam Bondi's congressional "Anons" gesture on Brennan indictments. After 8 years of fighting censorship, deplatforming, and attacks for exposing bloodline control and child protection, the message is clear: enough is enough. The truth is learned, never told. The constitution is your weapon. Tune in at noon-0-five Eastern LIVE to stand with Trump!

In this episode of Revolutionize Your Retirement, host Dori Mintzer talks with gerontologist, author, and longtime positive aging pioneer Rick (Harry R.) Moody about his latest book, Climate Change in an Aging Society. Rick describes how he came to link two topics many people avoid, aging and climate, and why he believes older adults have a unique role to play in responding to the “four horsemen of the climate apocalypse”: fire, flood, drought, and heat.Rick and Dori discuss how climate realities are already affecting decisions about where and how to live, home insurance, health, and the ability to “age in place.” Drawing on stories from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, wildfire survivors in Paradise, California, and his own move from Boulder to the Bay Area, Rick underscores that relocation is not a full solution, as almost every region now faces some climate risk. Instead, he argues that the key is to move from paralysis and denial toward action—mitigation and adaptation—rooted in a sense of legacy and intergenerational responsibility.The conversation highlights Rick's core message: “Here, now, you, hope.” He explains why hope is not naïve optimism but “a verb with its sleeves rolled up,” and outlines three powerful roles for individuals at any age: citizen (voting, marching, contacting elected officials), consumer (choices about energy use, travel, food, and purchases), and investor (shifting money away from fossil fuels and toward more sustainable options). About the Guest – Rick (Harry R.) Moody, PhDRick (Harry R.) Moody, PhD, is a pioneering gerontologist, educator, and author whose work has helped shape the modern conversations on positive aging, ethics, and the spiritual dimensions of later life. He is the former Vice President for Academic Affairs at AARP, visiting faculty in the Creative Longevity and Wisdom program at Fielding Graduate University, and visiting professor at Tohoku University in Japan.Rick previously served as Executive Director of the Brookdale Center on Aging at Hunter College and as Chair of the Board of Elderhostel (now Road Scholar). He has written or co-written numerous influential books and articles, including the widely used gerontology textbook Aging: Concepts and Controversies (now in its 10th edition), Ethics in an Aging Society (the first book on biomedical ethics and aging), and The Five Stages of the Soul, which has been translated into seven languages.Key Topics We CoverWhy climate change and aging belong in the same conversation, and why the title “Climate Change in an Aging Society” matters.The difference between fear, despair, and what Rick calls real hope (not optimism), including reflections from Václav Havel and David Orr.Mitigation vs. adaptation and what each means for older adults deciding whether and where to move, downsize, or age in place.How dreams can mirror climate anxiety and also point toward personal action and awakening in the second half of life.Connect with Rick MoodyMind-Body Website: https://cmbm.org/governance/Books: Five Stages of the SoulAging What to do next: Click to grab our free guide, 10 Key Issues to Consider as You Explore Your Retirement Transition Please leave a review at Apple Podcasts.

That's the question that launches this episode of The JB and Sandy Show, where JB, Sandy, and Tricia dive into the quirks of aging, the excitement of upcoming events, and the surprising ways technology is changing how we prepare for life's big moments.The show opens with Sandy's playful take on AARP mail and the ego battle of joining the club. “I guess because I'm over 50, right? Is that when it kicks in?” JB wonders, while Sandy admits, “I have never ever opened one. Never opened it.” The crew debates the perks—discounts on golf balls, car rentals, and even Crocs. Tricia jokes, “I'm about to say the most AARP sentence there is. I'm a croc person because my fit doctor prescribed them for my plantar fasciitis.”

On the KMOJ Morning Show, Freddie Bell is joined by Jay Haapala of AARP Minnesota to discuss the growing threat of scams and fraud impacting Minnesotans. Haapala explains how scammers impersonate trusted figures such as family members, government agencies, banks, faith leaders, tech support, and even immigration enforcement to trigger fear or urgency and override good judgment. He breaks down why emotional manipulation is central to these schemes and how technology is used to make scams more convincing and costly. The conversation closes with practical advice on slowing down, verifying information, talking to trusted people, and using resources like the AARP Fraud Watch Network to stay protected.

One out of ninety women will develop ovarian cancer in her lifetime. It is the second most common gynecologic cancer and the fifth leading cause of death among women from cancer. Roughly 25% percent of ovarian cancer is hereditary. If a woman is a carrier of one of the gene mutations associated with ovarian cancer, her risk is strikingly higher than the risk of the general population.  But most women who carry this genetic mutation…don't know it.  My guest is Dr. Michelle Jacobson, an internationally recognized expert in menopause and cancer survivorship who has dedicated her professional life to educating women about hereditary cancer syndromes- who should be screened, and what to do with that information.

It’s a fast but mighty 20 minute bonus episode of Insider Interviews! Took my “she-cam” on another* spontaneous journey through the Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2026) to speak with six different women, of six different tech and media areas. They provided first-hand insights on #AI, content, and advertising. These industry leaders span audio, advertising and age tech, sports, streaming, and out of home, so there’s really something for everyone! Quick coverage bites include: Vobble at CES • A snippet about ‘Vobble,’ an interactive audio device that lets kids build stories; MY sound didn’t do it justice, but your kid might love it IRL (and you might love it as a bedtime story aid!) • A walk through the innovations for better health and aging in place via the Age Tech Collaborative from AARP, thanks to their VP of Startup Programming, Amelia Hay. A la this being an episode with all women in tech and media, as Amelia said of the Collaborative: “We have over 200 startups in the collaborative, and probably 40% are women founders… I think we’re really pushing that envelope and putting our stake in the ground in technology.” (PS: did I mention I’d love that sleep-helper AND the hearing-helping eyeglasses from EssilorLuxotica on display there?!) BrightLine Interactive Ads • I got a lesson in the history of ad innovations and how to apply “Changemaker” thinking, from Brightline (and SustainChain) founder, and now author, Jacqueline Corbelli, who I call “the doyenne of interactive advertising!” A simple summary of “changemaker” playbook is what Jacquie has done her entire career: “Think about what you want and go further…” • A chat with the dual founder of Sports Studio, Inc. and Rasenberger Media, Cathy Rasenberger , illuminated how her freshman streaming platform is scoring distribution wins, perhaps because it’s appropriately named “Free Live Sports“?! FreeLive Sports Cheers to them for “aggregating more free sports content than any other platform… We’re democratizing sports for all the fans.” • Stacy Minero, newly named CMO of Outfront Media, and Erin Harris, Head of Fluency Sales for SiriusXM, explain changes in their now UNtraditional mediums and how they each are leveraging AI to power creative and efficient DOOH advertising and audio content, respectively. Erin noted that, “We still see the strongest performance with human voice, but we’re extremely excited about AI in terms of helping us find little levers to pull, to make things more personal.”  And as Stacy added: “There’s a huge opportunity for AI to unlock productivity, especially in the area of post-production… to do some of the grunt work so that people can focus on the fun work.” AI meets Outfront Media We say, “YES!” Don't miss out on learning from each of these powerhouse women and their compelling companies. *And don’t miss my last full episode — also captured at CES — with executives in audio, video and brand marketing!
