Send us a textWhat if aging wasn't about slowing down - but about pushing your limits, chasing bold goals, and tapping into more energy than you ever thought possible? In this episode of The Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, Kevin sits down with endurance athlete, writer, and barefoot adventurer Ken Posner. From Wall Street cubicles to mountain trails, Ken has discovered that vitality doesn't fade with age - it expands when you challenge yourself. We dive into:How Ken went from “last kid picked in gym class” to running ultras and summiting mountains barefootWhy exhaustion from the office pales in comparison to the energy gained through movement and natureThe role of fasting, simplicity, and minimalism in building strength and resilience after 50How barefoot training restores balance, agility, and natural alignment - critical for staying strong as we ageWhy pushing your body past “impossible” isn't about punishment, but about empowerment Ken's story is a powerful reminder that the second half of life isn't about decline - it's about ignition. Whether you're a weekend walker or dreaming of your first ultra, you'll walk away inspired to stretch your own “rubber band” and reclaim the energy, confidence, and vitality that are your birthright.

What if surrender wasn't weakness, but your gateway to more freedom, more power, and more magic?In this episode, I speak with transformational teacher and bestselling author Kute Blackson - my very first male guest -about a topic that's at the heart of midlife transformation: surrender. And not the kind that asks you to give up, but the kind that cracks you open and calls you home to your wild, feminine truth.Kute's powerful perspective on surrender as the portal to authenticity, creativity, and freedom is exactly the divine masculine energy many of us didn't realise we were craving.We talk about why surrender has been misunderstood -especially for women - and how it holds the key to navigating grief, identity shifts, and deeper embodiment in midlife.Tune in to hear Kute share:Why surrender is not passive, but powerfulThe difference between control and alignmentThe grief and letting go required to fully step into midlifeHow women can reclaim their wild, intuitive, embodied natureThe societal systems that have kept us disconnected from our powerThe masculine and feminine dance of creation, and what real partnership looks likeHow to trust the unknown and let life live youWhether you're navigating change, loss, or the call to become more you - this episode is here to remind you: you don't need to hold it all together to step into your power.It's time to redefine surrender.Connect with Kute:Website: kuteblackson.comFree 8-part course: eightlevelsofgratitude.comInstagram: @kuteblacksonPodcast: Soul TalkBook: The Magic of Surrender – Available now via AmazonConnect with me:Instagram: @pennyvandersluys - Follow my 52 Shades of Fifty Project Sign up for the Bringing Sexy Back Challenge (May 2–4): pennyvandersluys.com/sexybackDownload my free 10 Tips to Turn On: pennyvandersluys.com

The energy of 2025 continues to guide us through powerful shifts, reshaping the collective consciousness in ways that can no longer be ignored.   The month ahead brings a profound spiritual change as we close the Pisces season, completing an activation beneath the surface. As we step into a new astrological year, we are not just crossing into Aries season but into a new era. Eclipse season and the Spring equinox with Mercury, Venus retrograde, and Neptune entering Aries is a POWER month. This month's energy demands our presence, awareness, and trust. Some themes we can expect as we launch into a new era include:New inventions, wealth on all levels, health and healingDiscovery of hidden treasures, order, harmony, and establishing healthy connectionsIncreased clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentienceRevelation through meditations, dreams, signs, and synchronicities in natureThe age of passive dreaming is over—this is about bringing the vision into reality.Technology is about to accelerate in ways that require ethical discussions: artificial intelligence, bioengineering, and virtual reality are not only seen as tools to some but also extensions of a person's identity. But, with that, we cannot lose touch with the true essence of things found in nature beyond AI, computers, phones, televisions, etc. Music, art, and culture will reject watered-down trends in favor of something authentic, vital, and genuine.The same applies to spirituality—what was once packaged and sold as enlightenment will be challenged, dismantled, and redefined. Spirituality is about seeking our higher self, our truth, and our connection with what we know to be our truth. Listen as Laurie shares her perspective of the month. Send us a textSupport the showThanks for listening - For questions or comments email Laurie at Laurie@yourlifecore.comInstagram @yourlifecore or Twitter @yourlifecore Facebook https://www.facebook.com/YourLifecoreWebsite www.yourlifecore.com

In this episode, I share the power of quiet confidence and how embracing your authentic self can transform your life. As a highly sensitive person (HSP), you may feel pressure to be more extroverted or outgoing, but true confidence comes from being unapologetically yourself, whether that means being more reserved or preferring deep, meaningful conversations. I dive into how accepting your quiet nature and stepping into radical self-acceptance can help you show up confidently in any situation, without fear of judgment. This episode is a call to embrace who you truly are and carry yourself with confidence.What you will learn in this episode:How embracing your authentic self leads to true confidenceWhy quiet confidence is just as powerful as loud, extroverted confidenceHow to stop second-guessing yourself and fully accept your quiet natureThe importance of building self-worth and self-acceptance to feel grounded in who you areHow embracing your authenticity can positively impact your relationships and how others perceive youCLICK HERE to sign up for the Un-Botherable Workshop: a free workshop where you'll learn my 6-step process for managing & neutralizing your triggers as an HSP!CLICK HERE to download the Cord-Cutting Meditation

We live in a culture that constantly tells us to push harder, achieve more, and stay on top of everything. But this relentless striving often keeps us from the fulfillment we seek. Many of us face anxiety, procrastination, and burnout as we struggle to accept that the key to a more meaningful life lies in embracing our limitations rather than fighting against them.This week, I'm honored to welcome Oliver Burkeman, bestselling author of Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals, as our special guest. Oliver's work challenges the conventional approach to productivity, urging us to face our inherent human limitations and embrace the concept of finitude. His insights offer a refreshing perspective on how to live with greater intention, focusing on what truly matters rather than constantly striving for control.In his new book Meditation for Mortals, Oliver goes even deeper into the themes of time, control, and human limitation, offering a counterintuitive yet liberating approach to living well in a finite world. His philosophy encourages us to accept our limits and let go of the need to constantly “do it all.”In this episode, Oliver walks us through the journey of moving from understanding the constraints of time to taking meaningful action. We dive deep into the concept of finitude—our finite time, energy, and capacity—and explore how surrendering to life's limitations and letting go of the need for control can lead to a more purposeful, fulfilling life.Tune in to learn how embracing our limitations can lead to profound freedom, allowing us to live fully within those boundaries and create a life of intentionality, meaning, and true presence.Topics CoveredEmbracing the concept of finitude and human limitationsHow to let go of control and live more intentionallyThe connection between productivity and surrenderOliver's journey from Four Thousand Weeks to Meditation for MortalsThe role of mindfulness in taking meaningful actionWhy hustle culture leads to burnout and dissatisfactionPractical strategies for accepting our finite natureThe paradox of letting go and achieving moreOvercoming procrastination and anxiety by facing our limitsHow to align daily actions with what truly mattersTranscriptYou can find the transcript on the episode's web page by clicking here.Oliver's Bio & ResourcesOliver Burkeman's books include the forthcoming Meditations for Mortals, about embracing limitation and getting around to what counts, along with the New York Times bestseller Four Thousand Weeks and The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking. For many years he wrote a popular column for the Guardian, 'This Column Will Change Your Life'. In his email newsletter 'The Imperfectionist', he writes about productivity, mortality, the power of limits and building a meaningful life in an age of distraction.Website: oliverburkeman.comNew book: Meditation for Mortals Book: Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals Explore Zen HabitsZen Habits BlogFearless Living Academy

What would it be like to rely solely  on yourself, lean into ecological literacy, to really notice the changing patterns of the season & offer yourself the time it genuinely takes to live intimately with the earth . Claire  tells of her pathway to  following a calling to initiation - a need to let her social identity rot away on the forest floor & go into a place of deep introspection. Spurred by a  primal knowledge that we are living in a world with a deficit in:  nature, elders, community, ritual & skills, Claire is rewriting her story & rebuilding the culture around her to become one of eco awakening - it starts with something as basic as an intentional 'wander' or journaling & accepting awkwardness as we relearn the art of village building using pan cultural tools like rhythm, percussion, scent, song, body movement, repetition, nature noticing,Links You'll LoveNatures apprenticeMy year without matchesRewilding the urban soulJoanna Macy - Active hopeSupport the showCasual Support - Buy Me A CoffeeRegular Support - PatreonBuy the Book - Futuresteading - Live Like tomorrow mattersShow NotesSpending a year off grid, alone, connecting to her human identityTo do what I could to be a voice for the voicelessHer psyche turned towards a deep interconnectedness which heals the rift between the human soul & natureThe constant flow of the forest sees an intruding human as a benign presenceRewriting her patterns of productivity, structure, Growing from a solo wolf into a community beingWhy she never felt lonely when in the bushLearning the art of community generated & self designed ceremony which links nature & cultureVision quests - multiple days along in a wild place.

SummaryIn this episode, Ron Hayes and Jason Loftus are joined by guest Nehemiah Ray, and they share discussions of how venturing into the wild in their childhood has developed a strong appreciation for the finer details in nature. Nehemiah Ray, a wildlife professional, shares his philosophy for raising his children to appreciate the wonders of nature. This episode digs into the importance of family, outdoor experiences, wildlife biology, and the impact of human behaviour on ecosystems. Nehemiah Ray shares his experiences with nature, wildlife removal, and the importance of teaching children to appreciate and respect the natural world. The conversation covers a wide range of topics related to nature, wildlife, and exploring the natural world. It delves into the impact of invasive species, the importance of understanding wild edible plants, the value of foraging, and the significance of being aware of one's environment. The conversation also highlights the benefits of spending time in nature, the challenges today's technology has on kids, how it limits their opportunity for outdoor experiences and the influence of childhood experiences on adult perspectives.TakeawaysTeaching children to appreciate and respect nature is important for their development.Human behavior, including the release of pets into the wild, can have significant consequences for ecosystems.Wildlife removal and the coexistence of humans and wildlife is a complex and important aspect of environmental management. Understanding the impact of invasive species on ecosystemsThe value of learning about wild edible plants and foragingThe importance of environmental awareness and spending time in natureThe impact of childhood experiences on adult perspectivesHow technology is limiting today's youth from having outdoor experiencesSound Bites"It's not about not being afraid. It's about being able to overcome it.""The impact on the ecosystem, you know, just by people releasing pets is significant.""Don't keep a pet that should be wild. And secondly, don't ever turn them loose. There's always other options. But if you go turn them loose, then the ecosystem is dealing with a problem that you didn't want to manage. So.""The grocery stores have such a small amount of foods that we eat. And granted, I know shelf life and all those types of things play a part into it, but I really want to teach them at a young age to be explorative. Don't just go with what's offered to you.""It's really easy to admire the mountains. It's a lot more difficult to admire the molehill. Being able to ... You don't have to go far. You don't have to take a trip to Yellowstone, which, I mean, that's on the bucket list for me.

As someone who deeply values the importance of connecting people with nature, I was thrilled to have John Muir Laws as a guest on the latest episode of The Fancy Scientist podcast. Ever since completing my PhD and working with kids, I've recognized that fostering an emotional attachment to nature, especially during childhood, is a central solution to all conservation problems. Because when people aren't emotionally attached to nature, they won't know how to care about its decline and loss. These attachments are formed from experiences in nature. And what better way to cultivate that connection than through the beautiful practice of nature journaling?Nature journaling is the simple, yet profound act of using a notebook to record and draw your observations, questions, and reflections about the natural world around you. By slowing down and paying close attention to details, you not only deepen your appreciation for nature but also enhance your ability to remember and learn.John Muir Laws is a champion of this transformative practice. With a background in wildlife biology and a lifelong passion for nature exploration, he has dedicated himself to spreading the joy and wisdom of nature journaling across the globe. In an era where technology often disconnects us from the great outdoors, his mission to reconnect people with the natural world is more relevant than ever.In our conversation, John shared fascinating insights and practical tips for embracing nature journaling. We explored the benefits it offers for both children and adults, discussed strategies for overcoming the initial hesitancy (especially for us grown-ups!), and celebrated the sheer magic that unfolds when we immerse ourselves in the present moment, pen and notebook in hand.Specifically, we discussed:What exactly is nature journaling and how to get startedThe benefits of nature journaling and being out in natureThe power of nature journaling in fostering deep observation, curiosity, and wonderPractical techniques for engaging kids in nature journaling, including prompts and scaffoldingOvercoming the fear of "not being good enough" at drawing or writing, and embracing the journeyThe importance of role-modeling present, nature-connected behavior for childrenStrategies for making nature accessible and welcoming to people of all backgroundsAnd MORE!!Whether you're a seasoned nature lover or someone seeking to reignite your connection with the great outdoors, this episode is a delightful invitation to slow down, observe, and capture the beauty that surrounds us.

In today's episode we discuss King Hubbert the technocrat and scientist with a flawed methodology and Malthusian worldview. We also go over a brief history of the Rockefeller starting with John D. Rockefeller's rapist snake oil salesman father up to the offspring that would dominate the world oil market during the Cold War years. The majority of the episode we discuss a theory outside of the conventional western geological orthodoxy that challenges the very notion that petroleum is dinosaur goo. Oh yeah, we're talking abiotic oil theory my friends. Abiotic oil would come out of the Soviet Union during the Cold War when Stalin realized that being dependent on the west for oil could be a possible death sentence for Russia so he would create a project to study all the various aspects of oil in a move that some people have compared to the Manhattan Project in scope. This is an interesting one and if the theory of Abiotic Oil is true it would change the way we think about geology and geopolitics at a fundamental level. I personally find the theory of Abiotic Oil persuasive, but I am by no means an expert in geology so take what I say with a grain of salt and enjoy this slippery ride.Sources:Myths, Lies and Oil Wars by F William EngdahlEndless Oil?
