Join this Aging GreatFULLy power-hour of enlightYOUment as we welcome guest, Dr. Thelma Reese, co-author of How Seniors Are Saving the World, for an empowering dialogue on how older adults are also some of today’s boldest experts, activists and leaders! In her book, co-authored with BJ Kittredge, they share inspiring true stories of seniors working with vigor and purpose. And they argue that instead of thinking of the 60’s and beyond as the twilight years, that instead, this is the time to shine in the spotlight and take your stage! Tune into this inspiring episode as Reese shares why retirement should be UNretirement, why exiling seniors to nursing homes is not only dangerous, it’s our loss, how volunteerism is being transformed by older adults and how purpose and meaning are recharging love and intimacy for seniors. We even unpack in great detail the damaging ramifications of ageism—both how it’s not only counterproductive as a society—but how it insidiously makes its way into our own lives in ways we may not even be aware. Dr. Thelma Reese is also the author of The New Senior Woman and the New Senior Man and creator of the blog, www.ElderChicks.com. She’s a retired professor of English and Education, the former spokesperson for Hooked on Phonics, and has long been active in national and Philadelphia-based educational and cultural initiatives. Her book, co-authored with BJ Kittredge, How Seniors Are Saving the World: Retirement Activism to the Rescue, is available on Amazon or her website where you can connect with her and learn more about her passion driven work. Listeners will enjoy every moment of this soul-enriching hour as we remind everyone that age is just a number, we may be growing older but that doesn’t mean we’re old, and seniors are definitely not fragile; but we are certainly fabulous, incredibly resourceful, and absolutely not fading into irrelevance anytime soon! Thank you, amazing listeners, for tuning into the Aging GreatFULLy show! You rock, you role model and it is you the amazing listener and incredible guests that make this show the success it is!

Can seniors save the world through social activism in their life after retirement? Dr. Thelma Reese thinks so. And, she knows so, too. She's the co-author of the new book How Seniors Are Saving The World: Retirement Activism to the Rescue! with BJ Kittredge. While we often see examples of senior volunteering, this book highlights seniors who are activists in various ways on a range of issues. Seniors Helping Others in Retirement The book tells the stories of seniors from various walks of life, ages, and backgrounds who are doing just that. They are investing their time, energy, and passion into causes that matter— and they’re making a difference. Whether it's volunteering or activism that's a fit for you, you'll find these stories inspiring ways to get involved - in ways big and small. We discuss: Why she wrote this new book What the diverse group of 24 seniors profiled in the book has in common Some of the stories and causes detailed in the book of seniors changing the world What she thinks we can learn from the pandemic How her thinking has evolved during the pandemic on topics like ageism Why intergenerational relationships are so important The story of a new intergenerational course she's creating with a group at Temple University and Osher Lifelong Learning Institute in Philadelphia Her advice for seniors who want to get engaged in saving the world Dr. Reese joins us today from Center City Philadelphia. ______________________________ Bio Thelma Reese, B.S., M.Ed., Ed.D., all from Temple University, began teaching third grade in 1954.  When her two daughters were in school, she began her graduate studies in Educational Psychology, was awarded a pre-doctoral fellowship, and was active first in the field of Reading Psychology and Education.  She taught as an adjunct professor at Temple University and Arcadia University.

I love the word that I found somewhere clicktivism, where we just click on or like something on Facebook. It goes another step. In some ways, I think we just redefined activism tremendously with the pandemic. I think seniors just by staying in, have been activists - just by not making things more dangerous for themselves and others. You can take it to the level  It doesn't want the accolades, doesn't want the notoriety, doesn't want to be noticed necessarily, but wants to make sure that it's happening, something good is happening - and how to part of ...

Dr. Jeanette welcomes Dr. Thelma Reese, author of The New Senior Woman; Reinventing the Years Beyond Mid-Life, to share how we are evolving as women in this century.  What is a senior woman, a grandma, an over the hill lady, or is it what marker that clicks you into the next paradigm? Are we living like our grandparents did; but if they lived shorter lives, then we do not have the same age group to reflect upon. So what are we really comparing ourselves to? Have you tried to find a rocking chair to add to your home lately? They are harder to find these days. Women are great salamanders. Men have not had a chance to morph as they had a story to play out in life.  Women have had lost, change, evolution and mystery all along their lives in body, mind and spirit. 'Living the greatest life for you in the moment you are in and love it' . Dr. Jeanette Can we still enjoy the experience of life no matter what our age? 'Don't let anyone put glue on your parade, enjoy your life' Dr. Jeanette For more information on Dr. Reese, visit:  www.ElderChicks.com For health or life challenge support with Dr. Jeanette visit:  www.DrJeanetteGallagher.com or www.MyPersonalAdvocate2.com  

Dr. Jeanette welcomes Dr. Thelma Reese, author of The New Senior Man: Exploring New Horizons, New Opportunities, to share about how men are stepping out of their legacy paths they took on decades ago. The show will be sharing about men over age 50 and how they are not like their fathers and creating a new life. The senior man; men are waking up and evolving just as women are and just as much as millennials are. We just do not hear about it because they do not purge on social media and seek answers from the internet. This show is talking about men who are currently over the age of 50. Our gender is our identity and that is the book we bought and we play out in life. Men are starting to crack open and testing the waters to share their stories of grief, loss, pain, struggle, acceptance, and all the changes in life they are experiencing. Men were conditioned to man up and to continue the legacy of their forefathers. Men grasped the concept of how their life would play out just after they graduated from high school and once they were on the path, that is the way it will be, period. "Men create legacies and women create lives" Dr. Jeanette How are men evolving and how can we support them?
