Previous conversations: What Do You Really Want to Do?  |   Take the Detour --- Richard Haiduck Richard Haiduck is a former life sciences executive and mentor and now has an active retirement. He is becoming the Voice of Boomer Retirement Stories. He is immersed in challenging the boundaries of his own retirement, while observing the experiences and areas of curiosity of his fellow retirees. At age 7, he was sure he wanted to be an author. Now, 66 years later, that dream has become a reality. The inspiration for the book came from hearing about the meaningful journeys in retirement taken by friends and colleagues. They were doing fascinating activities at this stage of their life, and often completely new directions from their prior careers. The idea that these stories could become a book became a driving force for Richard. His 75+ interviews and his frequent social media interactions have developed his perspectives and insights on the retirement activities of the boomer generation. Richard's prior roles as both a leader and a mentor have been based on his ability to listen and to get people to share their feelings. He uses a style of interviewing with short, open questions to get people to open up about their retirement stories. The result is Shifting Gears: 50 Baby Boomers Share Their Meaningful Journeys in Retirement now available as an audiobook. He graduated from Miami University and got his MBA from Xavier University. He is happily married to his wife of 52 years and has 2 daughters and 4 grandsons. His own retirement has been hyperactive. He learns new things through weekly interactions at Stanford, formerly via attending lectures and via zoom during the pandemic. Each year he reads about 100 books and bikes more than 3000 miles. He mentors organizations serving refugees and small farmers in Ghana. He combines family time with domestic and international travel. Previous conversation: Are You Ready to Shift Gears? --- Dr. Thelma Reese Thelma Reese, is the co-author of How Seniors Are Saving The World: Retirement Activi...

There’s a common notion that we engage in activism to keep ourselves busy after our work life ends. But is it really just about occupying our time?    According to Dr. Thelma Reese, older adults are saving the world because we realize we still have a lot of work to do—and now we have the time to help. She’s the author of three books, including “The New Senior Man,” and her latest work, “How Seniors Are Saving the World: Retirement Activism to the Rescue.”   In this episode, we’ll learn from Thelma how to use our hard-won wisdom to make deeper connections, let go of what we can’t control, and contribute more to the world.   We covered:   Why older adults have a critical eye for what needs to be fixed in the world How to accept we all have very little control over our lives What helps us give less attention to the natural aches and pains of aging The biggest difference between aging vs. ageism Why Thelma dislikes the word retirement (and what term we’re replacing it with) How we can bridge the gap to communication between generations   Links   How Seniors Are Saving the World: Retirement Activism to the Rescue by Dr. Thelma Reese with BJ Kittredge   The New Senior Man: Exploring New Horizons, New Opportunities by Dr. Thelma Reese with Barbara Fleisher

Dr. Thelma Reese recently published a book called "How Seniors are Saving the World." In it, she and her co-author, BJ Kittredge profile 24 seniors from 65 to 95. Each profile looks at how the individual has become an activist to an cause or an issue that speaks to their heart and their passion. In my discussion with Dr. Reese, we covered what she had learned in the process of writing the book, we talked about what motivates activists and we talked about aging and how time impacts our perspectives on life. We also discussed how our society looks at aging and the barriers that are there to make intergenerational understanding difficult. It is a fascinating and inspiring conversation. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/wendy-green9/support

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 ...

It's never too late to pursue your passions. Now more than ever, it's not only possible but it's likely you'll have several more decades after 50 to keep living, growing and learning. Get inspired to make the rest of your life, the best of your life.

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?

Just like women, men are living decades longer — and the old model of retirement just doesn’t apply. But while women’s lives already make room for sharing feelings and insights about their new lives, men are traditionally told to “man up” and focus on what to do and how to save. Faced with a whole new horizon, men deserve a better roadmap for navigating the rest of the journey — and getting the most out of this next phase of their lives.

12-06-15 - Thelma Reese - "The New Senior Woman" by Warm1069

Tired of feeling invisible? Sick of getting no respect? Not willing to take it anymore? Three women of a certain age come together on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show,  to talk about fighting back with attitude. Joining Halli at her table are the authors of THE NEW SENIOR WOMAN: REINVENTING THE YEARS BEYOND MID-LIFE: Dr. Barbara M. Fleisher and Dr. Thelma Reese, and Cheryl Benton, aka the “head tomato,” the founder and publisher of The Three Tomatoes, a digital lifestyle magazine for “women who aren't kids”. Barbara Fleisher and Thelma Reese, the founders of the popular websiteElderchicks.com, for women over 60 are members of the fastest growing part of the population: senior women in their retirement years also known as “Women of a Certain Age.” Wives, moms, grand moms and successful college professors, the two “old” friends came together, serving as catalysts for witty, candid, and inspirational conversation for women entering their retirement years as told in their tantalizing book THE NEW SENIOR WOMAN, REINVENTING THE YEARS BEYOND MID-LIFE, a compilation of conversations with women from 60+ to 100.After running her own successful ad agency on Long Island, Cheryl Benton sold her agency to one of the largest ad agencies in the world, and spent nearly 25 year in the New York City ad agency world of mad men and women. Benton, aka the “head tomato” then founded and became publisher of The Three Tomatoes.com, a digital lifestyle magazine for “women who aren't kids”. Having lived and worked for many years in the land of size zero twenty-somethings, she was truly starting to feel like an invisible woman. She created The Three Tomatoes “just for the fun of it” as the antidote for invisibility and sent it to 60 friends. The rest, as they say, is history.A conversation with three dynamic women of a certain age about being a certain age and loving it on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show for more information visit http://goo.gl/tMuVJc

Kathryn interviews George L. King MD, Research Director at Harvard's Joslin Diabetes Center and author of “The Diabetes Reset: Avoid It. Control It.
