Angela is joined by special guest, Zora Benhamou, to examine the multifaceted experiences of menopause, exploring how cultural attitudes and personal stories shape women's journeys through this natural transition. Zora shares her fascinating project of interviewing women from various countries about their menopause experiences, revealing that while symptoms may be universal, perceptions and responses differ significantly across cultures. She also highlights the importance of awareness and education around menopause, discussing common symptoms such as fatigue, mood swings, and sleep disturbances, while also addressing the stigma surrounding hormone therapy KEY TAKEAWAYS Menopause is a universal experience, but cultural attitudes towards it vary significantly. In some countries, women are more open to discussing their experiences, while in others, there is a stigma that leads to rejection of such conversations. Fatigue, mood swings, and sleep disturbances are among the most common symptoms of menopause, often overshadowing hot flashes. Many women are unaware of the full range of menopause symptoms, which can include over 100 different manifestations. The perception of stress plays a crucial role in how women experience menopause. Women in less stressful environments or with a more relaxed attitude tend to cope better with menopausal symptoms, often attributing their resilience to their overall life perspective. There is a lack of awareness and acceptance of hormone therapy in many cultures. Many women are hesitant to consider hormone replacement therapy due to fears of negative health effects, despite the potential benefits it can offer during menopause. BEST MOMENTS "Menopause happens to everyone. No one's getting away with it. We all experience very, very similar symptoms. However, the attitudes are different." "I always say that I'm most worried about the asymptomatic woman, because she's the one who's not going to be aware of what's going on under the hood." "It's incredible that we've never been told... that a woman will lose her periods somewhere between 45 and 55." "Fatigue is something that's big on the list... but I think more than the mood swings would be the sleep."

Professor Emerita Connie Corley, PhD, talks about the evolution of the positive aging movement and how embracing change, conscious awareness, and perspective are keys to aging well. About Connie Connie Corley, MSW, MA, PhD has a long history in the fields of gerontology/geriatrics as a graduate of University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. She co-created the doctoral concentration in Creative Longevity and Wisdom in the School of Leadership Studies at Fielding Graduate University and is Professor Emerita at California State University, Los Angeles as well as Fielding. A Fellow of the Gerontological Society of America and Academy of Gerontology in Higher Education, she has engaged in multiple programs as a mentor and leader in curriculum development and co-founded and directed a lifelong learning program in Los Angeles for over 10 years. Recent work involves creativity in later life (emerging from a national study of Holocaust survivors) and intergenerational/intercultural mutual mentoring. Her website for coaching and podcast archives is https://conniecorleyphd.org/. Key Takeaways The field of positive aging emerged from positive psychology looking at is ways in which humans can live life more fully. Conscious aging means doing an internal audit, examining experiences, and gaining greater awareness. Becoming aware means living in the moment, mindfully. “Gerotranscendence” is spending time in reflection and having perspective to step back and look at the larger dimensions of life. It is an act of consciousness to step aside from worrying and ruminating and become aware of those negative thoughts. Do more of nothing. It is a gift of growing older to have fewer professional commitments. The four different dimensions the 4A Plus Model of positive aging are Wellness, Affiliation, Attitude and Awareness.

My guests today on Specifically for Seniors caught my attention in an Opinion piece in the Washington Post.  Professors Ben Katz and Pamela Teaster urged “an objective, scientific conversation about mental and physiological aging - both for our leaders and for the rapidly aging populations around the world” realizing that these conversations are both difficult and obligatory. We're going to try to at least open that conversation here on Specifically for Seniors, today. Both Ben Katz and Pamela Teaster, are part of the faculty of Human Development and Family Science at Virginia Tech Pamela Teaster is also director of the Virginia Tech Center for Gerontology and on the editorial board of the Journal of Elder Abuse and Neglect. She is a fellow of both the Gerontological Society of America and the Association for Gerontology in Higher Education. She is an active board member and former president of the National Committee for the Prevention of Elder Abuse.

The episode focuses on the challenges and solutions associated with ageism in the workplace, particularly concerning mature adults. With insights from experts Dr. Phillip Taylor and Dr. Phyllis Cummins, the discussion explores the importance of addressing age discrimination, rethinking job roles for older workers, and the benefits of intergenerational collaboration.Dr. Phyllis Cummins, Senior Research Scholar, Scripps Gerontology Center, Miami University, and Fellow for the Gerontological Society of America.Dr. Phillip Taylor, Professor, Institute for Employment Research, University of Warwick, Coventry, England. Fellow for the Gerontological Society of America and Associate Editor, Ageing & Society; Convenor, Aging Workforce Interest Group for the Gerontological Society of America.Key Points Discussed1. Ageism manifests in various phases of employment, from hiring practices to job retention and retirement.2. Older workers encounter barriers when seeking employment, such as outdated perceptions regarding their skills and adaptability.3. Older workers are seen as valuable resources for training and mentoring younger employees, bridging knowledge gaps, and fostering a collaborative environment.4. Flexibility in job roles and hours can significantly benefit older workers and employees across all age groups.5. Integrating intergenerational mentoring and training programs can leverage the varying skills and perspectives of different age groups, enhancing the work environment. 6.

Beth Truett, MDiv, BS, believes in serving. It comes naturally to her and has guided her career path over the years. Her earliest memories are of lunches with the Ladies' Aid Society. After a lengthy corporate career where she was committed to mentoring women, she worked at Chicago Lights, then Oral Health America. Both organizations needed to reignite or start a program for older adults, and she concentrated her efforts there. Oral health is crucial to total health, influencing both diabetes and heart health. But, it is difficult for most older persons because it isn't covered by traditional Medicare.When she retired from Oral Health America in 2019, Beth wasted no time in moving towards her interest in gerontology, receiving her gerontology degree at Concordia University. Today she serves as a consultant and project leader with the Center for Gerontology at Concordia. Beth is determined to help eliminate the implicit bias of ageism. Through the Center for Gerontology at Concordia, she is leading an initiative with  the National Center to Reframing Aging, (led by The Gerontological Society of America.) “Connecting men and women to opportunities in retirement is critical to mitigating social isolation and loneliness. - Beth TruettConnect with Beth Truett:Email: bethtruett@gmail.comVoice or Text: 708.271.2834

Well-being improves across young adulthood and into midlife, according to a new study by Susan Charles, professor of psychological science at the University of California, Irvine. “Contrary to negative stereotypes of aging, late life is a time of relatively stable and high levels of well-being,” says Charles. “With older age, people focus more on the present and less on planning for the future, and this mindset is one possible explanation for high levels of well-being later in life. Older adults generally report greater satisfaction with their close friends and family members, which may also explain why people who are older have relatively stable levels of well-being over time.” Charles and her research team followed 1,000 people, ages 22 to 95, over two decades for the study, which was published earlier this year in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. They asked participants about the positive and negative emotions they were feeling that day, in the past week and in the past month. You can read more details here. Professor Charles is enthused to discuss her team's findings.

Pamela Toto, a professor at the University of Pittsburgh Department of Occupational Therapy, shares details on the Pitt Healthy Home Laboratory which develops and evaluates technologies and home services to help people live safely and independently at home. About Pam Pamela Toto, PhD, OTR/L, BCG, FAOTA, FGSA, is a Professor at the University of Pittsburgh and senior scientist in the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences Healthy Home Laboratory. She is also a Doctor of Clinical Science in Occupational Therapy Program at the University of Pittsburgh, an online post-professional clinical doctorate focused on strategies to implement best evidence in clinical practice. She is an occupational therapist, researcher and educator who is internationally recognized within her field for her expertise in gerontology. Board Certified in Gerontology and a Fellow of  the American Occupational Therapy Association and a Fellow of the Gerontological Society of America, Dr. Toto has over 30 years of clinical experience as an occupational therapist providing services for older adults in the community and in long term care settings. Dr. Toto's clinical and research interests focus on the implementation of client-centered interventions in “real world” settings to promote independence, participation and healthy aging in older adults.  She is a national trainer and instructor for evidence-based programs including CarFit, Matter of Balance, and Skills2Care, and  has over 100 peer-reviewed publications and presentations, combined, on topics related to successful aging. Key Takeaways Healthy Home lab brings together professionals who help people age in place to educate students about challenges and develops solutions. Professionals include nurses, social workers, engineers, occupational and physical therapists, physicians, and physician assistants. Occupational therapists are trained to help people across the lifespan with activities of daily living and help people maximize their bodies and minds. The goal is helping older adults remain autonomous and independent as long as possible.  Housing stock in the United States is not ready for aging in place. Only 10% of homes are ready for people to age in place, and in the Northeast it is 6.8%. The dynamic between older adults and adult children is challenging. Older adults want autonomy and adult children choose safety over independence. Older adults are willing to accept some risk to maintain their dignity. It is important to have hard discussions when people are well rather than waiting for a crisis. We must figure out better ways to minimize the risk and find solutions for older adults. Eliminating a person's chosen activity is not the solution. Young people have fewer natural opportunities to interact with older adults, so working with older adults is not their first impetus. Occupational therapy students are excited about the shift to a preventative model versus Medicare reimbursed “damage control.”

Around 2am on April 6th 2018, a mysterious person walked down a snowy suburban street in Wadsworth, Ohio. At some point, this person came to a stop in front of a modest two story home and then looked around to make sure no one was watching them. Feeling satisfied no one was, this mystery person turned away from the road and walked down the driveway toward the backyard of the property. What they did next was unspeakably cruel... and it was caught on camera.For 100s more stories like this one, check out my YouTube channel just called "MrBallen" -- https://www.youtube.com/c/MrBallenIf you want to reach out to me, contact me on Instagram, Twitter or any other major social media platform, my username on all of them is @MrBallenSPOILERS BELOW THIS POINT:....Main Sources:1.
