Flourish As You Age

BRAIN HEALTH
MENTAL MANAGEMENT
A GOOD DEATH

Let's not just fade away; let's FLOURISH as we age!
The MINDRAMP Podcasts focus on three key components that have been shown to contribute to flourishing in the later years of your life. You will find mini-series of episodes that explore each component.

1) Keeping your brain and body healthy - see The Roots of Brain Health
2) Managing your mental states - see Flourishing
3) Planning the kind of death you want to have - (coming 10/1/24))

You will also find the occasional episodes that focus social concerns that I feel have an impact on our well-being, for example "Elections."

I find myself in the surprising position of being the eldest male in my immediate family. In these troubled times, As such i should be a positive role model for my family and could think of no better role model for myself than Fred Rogers of children's television fame.

I met Mr. Rogers when I worked for PBS and got to see the man in action in a variety of settings. No matter where he went, he exerted a positive influence on the environment and magically made everyone become their best selves.

This podcast shares some stories about my times with Mr. Rogers and speaks to the power of compassion, love acceptance. A print version of this podcast appears in the most recent edition of 3rd Act Magazine.
