Prolific author and lover of “old ladies” Melinda Blau hosts an unprecedented mother/daughter conversation with “America's gerontologist” Kerry Burnight, her 96-year-old mother Betty, and Melinda's daughter Jennifer Martin, a hospice nurse. The four discuss complexities of the mother-daughter duo as both age – role shifts, stumbling blocks and challenges, the need to simultaneously stay connected and draw boundaries.The episode is dotted with clips of Betty sharing her strategies for living exuberantly into her nineties. Kerry's videos of her everyday moments and thoughts have made Betty a burgeoning Instagram star – and that's okay with her. “I'm just thrilled with the fact that she is so popular. She's my baby!”Jennifer admits that as a young mother, being the daughter of a parenting expert was “challenging…similar to Betty having a daughter who's gerontologist!” But because of her own aging, her father's recent death, and her professional role helping patients and their families face end-of-life realities, Jen has a new appreciation of Melinda's life and choices. One hopeful takeaway from this lively discussion is that it's never too late to see the other as a person, not merely “mother” or “daughter.”Show NotesKerry's website: https://drkerryburnight.com/On Instagram: @the_gerontologist Kerry's book, Joy Span, is now available for preorder online and wherever books are sold.Enjoy this poem about mothers and daughters written by a member of the Crows Feet podcast team: https://jeanfeldeisen.com/blog/Support the show

In today's conversation, we delve into Melinda's latest book, The Wisdom Whisperers: Golden Guides to a Long Life of Grit, Grace, and Laughter. The book reflects on her friendships with women 20 or older than her and the invaluable wisdom, humor, and zest for life she gained from these relationships. Melinda shares how her friends' experiences and perspectives on aging have reshaped her views and helped her approach the later stages of life with more joy and grace.We also discuss the unique benefits of cultivating friendships with people who are much older than us, and how these relationships can offer profound insights into how to live a full, engaging life—whether in your 80s or well into your 100s.This conversation also brought to mind my grandmother and mother, both of whom lived life to the fullest, despite facing hardships, which made Melinda's book all the more meaningful. In Betsy's view, The Wisdom Whisperers is a heartwarming and inspiring read that encourages us to embrace our family stories and seek out friendships with older generations.❤ Melinda would love to connect with book clubs via Zoom to discuss her book further, so be sure to reach out if you're interested!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/chatting-with-betsy--4211847/support.

Relationship expert Melinda Blau is back with her new book, "The Wisdom Whisperers: Golden Guides to a Long Life of Grit, Grace, and Laughter." Melinda began collecting her "old ladies," as she calls them, in mid-life and shares here the tremendous wisdom and benefit she has received over the past twenty years or so from these relationships with women much older than she is. Not so much a book on aging as a continuation of Melinda's astute career-long observations about the magic and wonder of relationships, The Wisdom Whisperers will make you laugh, reflect, learn, and may inspire you to give the book as a gift to someone dear to you. Always forthright and plain spoken, but also optimistic and good-humored, Melinda now finds herself in the ranks of these golden oldies and reminds the listeners to appreciate all that life has to offer. A wonderful upbeat and thought-provoking episode.Melinda's website:https://melindablau.com/My previous episode with Melinda about "Consequential Strangers":https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/books-shows-tunes-mad-acts/episodes/2021-12-31T22_00_00-08_00Thoughts?

It's a gift to let your family and other loved ones know what to do when you're gone and what you want done with everything from pets to possessions. But where to start – and how to make that happen? One answer: Rusty Rosman's “Two Envelopes” – a way to preserve “your voice” and let others know your wishes.In this anecdote-packed episodes, Rusty Rosman tells all-too-familiar stories about how we tend to avoid the difficult topic of dying and the chaos that comes of not-planning.  After all, we all have an expiration date...as host Melinda Blau puts it, “at least until there's a cure for mortality!” In the meantime, it behooves us to each leave behind a roadmap for our loved ones.  Rusty wrote her book, "Two Envelopes", as a guide to get us started navigating the practical and emotional complexities of end-of-life planning. She stresses that "Two Envelopes is not a workbook or a filing system! It's a guide to personal reflections and conversations you'll have with your loved ones. As you prepare your envelopes, you'll be ensuring that your voice, your wishes, continue to guide your loved ones after your death." "Two Envelopes" is available on Amazon and other booksellers. If you'd like to connect with Rusty, go to her website or email: TwoEnvelopesABook@gmail.com.Thanks to comedian Susan Rice for allowing Crow's Feet to feature one of her Don't Tell Comedy YouTube clips in our intro.

Her 16th book, The Wisdom Whisperers, is her most personal and important to date. It introduces readers to nine admirable women in their 90s and 100s whose paths to aging illuminate the joys of the journey and its roadblocks. Melinda calls these friends “my old ladies” and now, at 80, proudly joins their ranks. Melinda first embraced the notion of “whispering” in 2000, when she met the late Tracy Hogg (a.k.a., the "Baby Whisperer"). That collaboration led to three best-selling books: Secrets of the Baby Whisperer, Secrets of the Baby Whisperer for Toddlers, and The Baby Whisperer Solves All Your Problems. In 2014, Melinda followed up with Family Whispering, the book that inspired her advice column on Huffington Post, "Dear Family Whisperer." In 2009, she covered casual relationships in Consequential Strangers. A mother, longtime partner, grandmother, and friend to many, Melinda stands by her tag line: "If you're good at relationships, you're good at life." She has mixed feeling about social media but is always happy to have a conversation.

Melinda Blau is the author of the new book The Wisdom Whisperers, a poignant, hilarious, and deeply insightful exploration of how to make the most of life's possibilities—at any age. In this deeply personal and heartwarming book, acclaimed journalist Melinda Blau confronts the stereotypes surrounding life's later chapters, drawing from unexpected friendships with the remarkable women she affectionately dubs my old ladies. Through intimate storytelling and candid reflections, Blau peels back layers of societal judgment to uncover the hard-earned wisdom and resilience that come with the unfolding of years. From her relationship with Henrietta, a vibrant nonagenarian, Blau discovers that age is less a number and more the unexpected twists and turns of a life fully lived. Zelda, ever the free spirit, shows that the sparkle of youthful passion can persist well into later years—she's nailing tennis serves even in her 90s. And then there's Anne, a Holocaust survivor who proves that at 98, it's still not too late to pen your life story. Yet, Blau's book isn't simply a compilation of friendship tales. It's a wake-up call that encourages us to build meaningful connections across different phases of life. These bonds are mutually enriching, offering us valuable insights and a depth of understanding that is impossible to obtain from our contemporaries. At its heart, Wisdom Whisperers is about the boundless opportunities that unfold when we dare to look beyond age as a limiting factor.

Professor Ellen Langer, better known as "the mother of mindfulness,” spent the better part of her 45-year career challenging widely-held assumptions about the power of our minds. Her famous "Counterclockwise" study, first conducted in 1979, showed it's possible to reverse the affects of aging in one week. In her latest book, The Mindful Body: Thinking Our Way to Chronic Health, she says our minds can make us more hopeful, speed the healing process, and even help us live longer. The key: remember your mind and body are one integrated unit. "Where you put the mind, the body will follow." Langer defines Mindfulness as being in the moment — noticing new things about yourself and the environment rather than assuming today will be the same as yesterday which, in turn, opens us to new possibilities. In this rapid-fire conversation with Melinda Blau, Langer talks about applying mindfulness to aging, grief, caretaking, and serious illness.  You can find Ellen's books on Amazon and her websiteSupport the show

A child prodigy on the piano, music gave Patricia Ross refuge from a chaotic home. In this episode, Ross tells host Melinda Blau how resilience, curiosity, and making good choices were key to her life — achieving what Blau calls “exuberant geezerhood.” Becoming sober in her 40s was one turning point for Ross, along with learning photography from the great Ansel Adams, which led to a career in the craft. Marrying a psychologist put her on the path to becoming a psychotherapist herself and, now in her ninth decade, she writes personal essays on Medium.

How do you build a healthy, connected, and intentional life that fulfills your greatest purpose? In this episode, Caroline Fausel shares how it all started. She talks about her journey, how she became an intentionalist and why she created this podcast.  A voracious reader herself, Caroline also shares some books that have changed her life and shaped her aspiration for intentionalism in all aspects of her life. For instance, the book “Eating Animals” by Jonathan Safran Foer heavily influenced her to become vegetarian. She thought it was a good way to bio-hack her genetics and keep certain diseases at bay. Learning about factory farming and what's in our food also sparked her passion for the environment. She believes that while individual action is not enough to turn the entire environment around, it's definitely a huge part of it, and it's something she could do.  Eventually, upon reading “It Starts with Food” by Melissa and Dallas Hartwig, which talks about nutrition science, she went straight from vegan to the paleo-based Whole30 diet, which she and her husband, Chaz, did for 30 days. It was an intense time but they felt better than ever and they became more intentional about what they were eating. And so, the book is what started it all for her – the lifestyle, the blog, and this podcast.  In this episode, Caroline shares how becoming intentional has dramatically changed the way she lives her life – as a wife, as a mother, and as a human being.

Emily Morgan is a single mum, by choice.  The experience of motherhood took an unexpected turn when, whilst pregnant with her second child, she was diagnosed with peri-natal depression.  It took this fiercely independent mum and forced her into a state of dependency, which ultimately led her down a track of coming to understand the concept of Informed Parenting.  Emily is now committed to helping parents not just have access to different parenting ideas and philosophies, but to critically analyse theories surrounding parenting to make choices, not based on popular theory or someone's ability to sell an idea or even peer pressure, but on cold, hard fact.
