Podcast appearances and mentions of julie roxane

Today is a special episode because, after five years, this podcast is ending. You'll hear why in this episode. Debbie and her husband, Sam Harrington, talk about why it's time for a finale, about getting old, about legacy (and how it's different for the two of them, right now), about their life during the past decade, how it's changing even now (they're both 72), and about what lies ahead, at least creatively.  Frankly, Debbie doesn't sound very happy in this episode, but that's because this has been a hard decision. Debbie thinks it's the right one; Sam needs convincing. But there is some good news!Debbie is continuing to explore the topic of [b]old age on Substack where she writes essays, host Q&A's, and has created a lively community of [b]old women writers, in their 60s, 70s, and 80s. And some younger women too. She invites you to join her on Substack! It's more interactive than the podcast, you'll get to know other subscribers in the Comments, and you can offer your own take on the topic of what it's really like to get old and why it requires [b]oldness.https://debbieweil.substack.comEndings are always bittersweet but you've got access to 120 past episodes of [B]old Age on Apple or wherever you listen to podcasts. //////////Continue the conversation about [B]old Age, and what getting old is really like, on Debbie's [B]OLD AGE Substack. ////////// Mentioned in this episode or useful:S3E21: Nicholas Christakis on How the Pandemic Will Affect Your Life Until 2024S4E13: Nicholas Christakis With a COVID Update and the Connection Between Pandemics, War, and Climate ChangeS3E24: Steven Petrow on the Stupid Things He Won't Do When He Gets OldS6E8: Steven Petrow on His Sister Julie, the Importance of Choice, and Medical Aid in DyingS5E7: Andrew Steele on Research at the Cellular Level That Could Slow AgingS4E17: Dr. Bree Johnston on Psychedelic Therapy to Ease Fear of DeathAt Peace: Choosing a Good Death After a Long Life by Samuel Harrington MD (​Grand Central Life & Style; 2018)LA PETITE PERIGOURDINE, Paris (restaurant Debbie & Sam mention, where Julie-Roxane used to work)Debbie's Substack editor: Erin ShetronFINALLY, a shoutout to Julie-Roxane, Debbie's podcast producer (currently off social media & website-less!).

Debbie hands over the mic to her producer, Julie-Roxane Krikorian, for a deep dive on the conversations we need to have with ourselves and our loved ones about old age and dying. Together, they unpack the difference between theory and practice when it comes to these emotionally-loaded conversations. They talk about the challenges of becoming weaker and more vulnerable as our bodies decline, and the flipping of the dynamics of care between parents and children at the end of life.They discuss the difficulty of giving space to our aging parents all the while trying to support them with practical help. They also talk about a reframe from weakening to softening and how to become elders who lead the way into the unknown of aging and dying.Debbie shares her personal journey with this topic as a daughter, a big sister of four, and a mother of three. She even reveals what her “dream death” is. This is a real and honest account of Debbie's experiences and, we believe, a useful conversation to anyone navigating the complex waters of aging parents and aging ourselves.Don't worry, there's plenty of humor.  Mentioned in this episode or useful:S4-EP5: Debbie and Julie-Roxane Dissect How Reinventing Your Life Really WorksS3-EP25: Debbie Weil on Turning 70, Mortality, and Making the Most of Growing OlderThe FAR OUT Podcast: Julie-Roxane's podcast with her husband Alasdair Note from DebbieIf you've been enjoying the podcast, please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts.

Today, Debbie brings her producer Julie-Roxane back on the show. Or rather, the opposite. Julie-Roxane takes control of the mic to interview Debbie about her experiences of reinventing her life, starting at age 14 and continuing up to the present as she turns 70. Together they explore what life reinvention really means and how it works.It's not that Debbie is a perfect model for life reinvention. Rather, what emerges in their conversation is a surprising life pattern. Why would a shy teen embrace an adventure in another country? What makes someone radically change course in a career?What does personality type have to do with a propensity for reinvention? Mentioned in this episode or useful:The Corporate Blogging Book by Debbie Weil (Penguin Portfolio, 2006)Season 2, Episode 6: Debbie's Story: What Happens When You Connect the Dots BackwardSeason  3, Episode 20: Jeff Hamaoui on Navigating the Messy Middle of TransitionsSeason 3, Episode 25: Debbie Weil on Turning 70, Mortality, and Making the Most of Growing OlderJulie-Roxane's podcast with her husband: FAR OUT #148 ~ Going our Separate WaysMarriage needs tending just like a base camp (Deseret News, March 15, 1992)The Road Less Traveled, Timeless Edition: A New Psychology of Love, Traditional Values and Spiritual Growth by M.

Debbie Weil is interviewed by her producer Julie-Roxane Krikorian about turning 70, mortality, productivity, her halting efforts to age gracefully, and Season 4 of The Gap Year Podcast.This is the last episode of Season 3. We'll be back in the fall with Season 4!As a way to finish this season on a special note, Debbie turns the mic over to her producer, Julie-Roxane.JR gets Debbie to reveal her ambivalent feelings about turning 70  and how she can't shake ageist thoughts about growing old. They talk about mortality and what her priorities are for the decades - well, maybe two decades - to come.  At almost 70, Debbie figures she's got 15 - 20 years of good time left. They talk about what “good time” means and how the definition of productivity might change in your 70s and 80s.If you've been listening for a while, you know that one of the broad topics of the podcast is aging with acceptance, wisdom, and grace. So the dirty secret is out. Debbie is not a model, yet, for how to do this.  It's still aspirational. She continues to work on a more positive mindset as she looks ahead, as well as a more intentional way of living. In other words,  "making the most of growing older."  That will be the underlying theme of Season 4.Thank you so much for listening and participating in Season 3 of The Gap Year Podcast. We'll see you back here, in the fall, for Season 4. Mentioned in this episode or useful:About DebbieIsland Women Speak, Debbie's intergenerational women's storytelling event in Stonington, MaineThe FAR OUT Podcast, Julie-Roxane's podcast co-hosted with her husband Alasdair PlambeckThe Tim Ferriss ShowSebastian Junger — Seeking Freedom, Near-Death Experiences, and Reordering Your Place in the World (#513), The Tim Ferriss Show (May 11, 2021)Freedom by Sebastian Junger (Simon & Schuster 2021) Note from DebbieI hope you are enjoying this podcast.

A successful manager of a start-up yet feeling like an outsider. That was the backdrop to Alasdair Plambeck's healing journey and life transformation with Julie Roxane Krikorian.  In this second part episode, we explore how a diagnosis of a chronic illness, Hashimoto's disease and an Ayahuasca Meditation Retreat prompted questions for Alasdair about the direction and meaning of his life. The challenges that the Millenial generation face means the traditional lifestyle models are increasingly less motivating or even achievable. For Alasdair and Julie Roxane, the question become why? Why are we doing this? What is the meaning of our lives? And how Julie Rozane and Alasdair are using their experiences to help others through their Far Out Life business and podcast. You can find out more about Alasdair and Julie - Roxane at their website, The far-out life. Their podcast, Far-Out - adventures in unconventional living can be found on most podcast channels.

Debbie Weil brings her husband, Sam Harrington, back onto the show. A retired physician, Sam is NOT a  believer in midlife-crisis camps nor in navel gazing, which is what he told family and friends Debbie was dragging him across the country to do. But somehow, after both of them were twice vaccinated, Debbie persuaded Sam to get on a plane and fly to Mexico’s Baja Sur. Their destination: Modern Elder Academy.If you've been listening to the podcast, you've heard about MEA.  You could call MEA a wellness retreat. It’s idyllic: simple accommodations overlook the crashing waves of a broad mile-long beach.  Birdsong fills the air, water trickles from fountains, and bright Bougainvillea blooms everywhere. An organic garden produces wonderful meals and a dusty dirt road leads to the nearest village.But MEA is more than a wellness retreat. It’s also a school - and a community - of like-minded people. MEA tends to attract open-minded individuals from their 30s to 70s, who are on a quest to define "what's next” in their lives and who are willing to think differently about aging. Guests can attend structured discussions, there’s time for journal writing and reflection, and there are meditation and yoga classes. Debbie and Sam talk about a few of the topics that were on offer during their two-week stay, including the difference between growth vs. fixed mindsets (you can guess which one is preferable) and something called appreciative inquiry which is an expansive way of both listening and asking questions. Sam ultimately admits that he IS feeling calm and centered.  Mentioned in this episode or useful:Modern Elder AcademyEl Pescadero, Baja California SurNavigating Midlife Transitions, MEA’s Online ProgramS3-EP20: Jeff Hamaoui on Navigating the Messy Middle of TransitionsS1-EP6: Chip Conley on Growing Wise at Modern Elder Academy (Modern Elders, Part 1)S1-EP7: Four Different Decades on Transition and Reinvention (Modern Elders, Part 2) Previous episodes featuring host Debbie Weil and her husband Sam Harrington:S3-EP16: Debbie & Sam on Fasting For Five Days and Why They Were Crazy Enough to Do ItS2-EP24: Debbie & Sam on the Gap Year For Everyone, Silver Linings, and Not Should'ingS2-EP18: Debbie & Sam on the New Normal, Quarantines, Immunity Passports, and Masks & GlovesS2-EP12: Debbie & Sam on the Coronavirus, Magical Thinking, and AgingS1-EP10: On Debbie & Sam's Bucket List: Living in FranceS1-EP2: Debbie & Sam on How They Decided to Take a Gap Year at Age 62 A gift for listeners: a Baja meditation soundtrackDebbie created a 20-minute meditation soundtrack (with help from producer Julie-Roxane) from the distinctive Baja birdsong and trickling water she heard every morning before meditation practice.

My guests in this two-part episode are the' far out couple' Alasdair Plumbeck and Julie Roxane Krikorian. Two people who came together through a serendipitous rejection of the lives they had been living. Alasdair and Julie Rozane are podcasters, entrepreneurs, guides & coaches. In 2016 we both walked away from lives that had made them tired and sick and stepped into the unknown in search of a better way to live. Julie Roxane and Alasdair met by chance in a chai shop in Rajasthan, India, whilst on a self-discovery journey. It was this chance meeting that changed their lives and set them together on a shared healing path. In this first part, we hear about the events that led up to their serendipitous meeting in India. From Julie Rozane about the hidden depression, anxiety, and abuse that characterized her childhood. The meditation retreat in India, that was the catalyst for a deeper understanding and realization of the impact of events in her childhood. And finally, how the unravelling of her identity was the beginning of rebuilding her and Alasdair's life together. You can find out more about Alasdair and Julie- Roxane on their website, The far-out life. Their podcast, Far-Out - adventures in unconventional living can be found on most podcast channels.

Debbie Weil interviews the one and only Seth Godin.Seth writes one of the most popular blogs in the world, read by more than a million people. He’s been blogging abut marketing for almost 20 years but his topic is really life: how to live well and fully. He blogs every day, seven days a week. Suffice it to say that when Seth talks, or writes, people listen. It's hard to put your finger on exactly what makes Seth so appealing. He is generous as a person. He's full of ideas, often counterintuitive, that he gently urges you to consider. And he always makes you think. For Debbie and for thousands of others, he’s an unofficial mentor, sitting on your shoulder like Jiminy Cricket, and challenging you to think bigger, or deeper - and always, more truthfully. Debbie got to know Seth about 15 years ago. He was holding funky workshops in a walk-up space in Chinatown in lower Manhattan. They were very Seth. There were no handouts, you were not allowed to take notes, he encouraged questions by handing out prizes and he served weird (at the time) vegetarian snacks. Always, there was his insistence on authenticity and consistency. In other words, be clear about who you are and what you do and why it matters. Debbie was working on her book about blogging (The Corporate Blogging Book) and he suggested that she call herself “the Mona Lisa of Blogging.” She did, for a time!Seth has published 19 bestselling books (The Dip and Linchpin are two of Debbie's favorites). Although he may be best known as an author and blogger, in the past five years Seth has increasingly defined  himself as a teacher. He’s gotten deeply into online learning through Akimbo, the organization he founded  that, with a small team, is the hub of his online projects. It’s also the name of his podcast. But take the emphasis off online learning because it’s really the future of learning that he’s interested in. A future that leverages the wisdom of your cohort, the people you are enrolled with, and that requires engagement, generosity and kindness.One of his online projects is a podcasting workshop. It’s where this podcast was born and where Debbie met producer Julie-Roxane.Debbie invited him on the show after he blogged recently about taking a gap year. She figured it was a perfect chance to hear more of his thoughts about gap years, for adults or students, and how or why such an experience might be relevant right now. And to find out what else was on his mind during this unprecedented time.
