In this insightful episode of The Innovators & Investors Podcast, host Kristian Marquez sits down with Jay Crone, Managing Director and Venture Capitalist at Deloitte Ventures, to explore the firm’s strategic approach to corporate venture capital. Jay shares Deloitte Ventures’ investment thesis, focusing on supporting innovative Canadian startups at Series A and B stages across key sectors like cybersecurity, climate tech, fintech, future of work, health tech, and AI.

The episode delves into Deloitte’s due diligence process, the importance of founder relationships, and the firm’s strategic role as a co-investor. Jay highlights emerging trends, particularly the promise of vertical AI tailored to industry-specific needs, and shares his bullish outlook on fintech innovations like stablecoins and cross-border payments. He offers candid advice for entrepreneurs on risk-taking and aligning business vision with funding goals.

For those of you who are Loving Later Life regulars, you know that I began this podcast to connect us all so that we feel heard, seen, inspired and also entertained. My hope is that you'll be inspired by my guests and perhaps even through my experiences that it is not ever too late to go for what you want in this precious life we have been gifted. There are also times when I am compelled to express a point of view that I am passionate about. This is one of those times, and the way it manifested was in a spoken word poem. Some of you may have seen my YouTube video of this already and if you haven’t, after you listen to this episode, I invite you to go watch the video. The link is in the show notes page for this episode, if you go to nancylanggibbs.com, click on the arrow next to podcast in the top bar and then click on Show Notes. Then click on this episode entitled It’s Up To Us and scroll down for the link. Or you can go to YouTube and search Nancy Lang Gibbs, It’s Up To Us. (Or below if you're reading this on the Show Notes page!) I ask if perhaps you are not on the same page as I am, that you listen anyway to open the aperture of your lens. For those who are on the same page, please forward the link to others and ask them to do the same. The message, I believe, is so very important to share. Thank you for listening and until the next time, Live Passionately, Live Vulnerably and Keep Loving Later Life. YouTube Video Link: https://youtu.be/vLdDCUKrRc0?si=PlC9V3Em1_658kU3…

What a time it is in our lives right now. What a crazy ass f-ing time. I told a friend that if all of what is occurring in our country and in our world were the plot of a movie, we’d all be saying thank goodness this couldn’t actually happen, that’s so unrealistic! And, I’m going to take a wild guess and say that you are out there worrying about something. Am I right? I mean heaven knows there are a lot of things to be worried about right now. Like real things. Then there's the type of worrying about things that have not yet happened. And for frosting on the worry cake, add the thought process that if you worry it will prevent something bad from happening. I’ve earned a master’s degree in this kind of worrying, from thousands of hours of life-long learning. And I thought I was unique in this special brand of fear and worrying, until I found out that I wasn't. How? Join me as I share my biggest worry, the big A Ha I had about it, and what I'm now doing to stop it!…

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the 100th episode of Loving Later Life! This is a first because for this, the 100th episode, I was not prepared at all. It was when talking to a friend who had recently been discovering some of my old writings online that the light bulb sizzled on. As I was describing how I was feeling about this episode, they said to me, “F-you!” And I looked at them and said, “What now?” And they said, “You know, like you wrote in your article!” I really wasn’t sure what they were referring to until I did an investigative search into my archives, and there it was. There was what was meant to be my message for myself and for you, for this 100th episode of Loving Later Life. As always, I hope you will listen and share with anyone who needs to hear it. I also want to take this moment to thank you for continuing to invite me into your car, your ears, and your bathroom as you’re getting ready for the day. I am truly honored.…

Welcome back to Loving Later life, episode 98! I want to start by saying thank you to those of you who receive my emails every other week and responded to my question wondering if you are receiving them consistently. Annd, I am truly touched by your comments affirming that the podcast and the emails are resonating and that they are providing value to you. We know that it’s best not to rely on external validation, and it sure is yummy icing on the cake to hear it! So, thank you and if you would please consider going to where you get your podcasts and leave a review. OK! Our special guest today joins us from the other side of the world. Her name is Sheridan Ruth and she is a Performance Coach and Nervous System Specialist. From being stripped of every strand of hair on her body to losing her ex to suicide 3 weeks after breaking up, Sheridan was forced to use trauma-healing to sustainably build her business. While there are a lot of 'trauma-informed' and 'body-based practitioner' coaches in the industry, none of them do it by merging body-based tools, the nervous system AND business strategy. Sheridan helps entrepreneurs combine the nervous system with business strategy to increase profit and decrease anxiety - even when traditional methods haven’t worked. And I can say that you don’t have to be an entrepreneur to benefit greatly from her wisdom and experience in how to regulate your nervous system so that you can find relief from anxiety and fear, and live a fulfilling life.

I have to tell you that this has to be one of the most vulnerable interviews I have had with a guest. Do not miss one minute of this episode. Elizabeth Laura Nelson is a Brooklyn-based writer and editor. I discovered Elizabeth after reading her Modern Love Story in the New York Times (the link is below), which was their most popular article on social media the weekend it was published! Back to that in a minute. Elizabeth co-founded Jenny, a digital magazine focused on Gen X and elder Millennial women and served as the managing editor of Woman’s World and the deputy health editor for Best Life. Known for her candid essays and approachable style, Elizabeth has contributed to websites including xoJane, SheSaid, Elite Daily, YourTango, and more. Her work often explores relationships, wellness, pop culture, and modern family life, connecting deeply with readers through her personal stories and insights on subjects like single motherhood, dating, and midlife. After I read Elizabeth’s Modern Love story in the New York Times, I immediately played detective to find her so I could ask her to be my guest on Loving Later Life. I keep telling you all, it never hurts to ask! Beginning with a blooper that I decided to leave in, this episode blossoms like a flower being watered in real time. And by the time we get to the end you will have witnessed the full bloom of an incredibly moving story of self-discovery and love. I am so grateful to Elizabeth for sharing her genuine heart with us. I know for certain that anyone who listens to the entire episode will walk away with something they will not ever forget. There are so many golden nuggets unearthed along the path of our conversation. You must hear every single minute. Please join us……

Welcome to the last 2024 episode of Loving Later Life. This episode is dropping on December 23rd just 2 days before the holiday and a little over a week away from the year 2025. And because it is a bonkers time for all, I’m keeping this shorter than usual. I learned a new term recently: liminal space. Apparently, the word liminal is from the Latin word limen, which means threshold. It is defined as “a transitional state between where someone is and where they are going—not knowing the future whether physically, emotionally, or metaphorically.” The space between what has already been, and what is to come. At this time of year, as we balance on the precipice of family and friends gathering or sitting alone at home with the unknown of a new year around the bend, I am suggesting that we focus on the opportunities that are hiding underneath whatever challenges we encounter. I hope you'll join me for more on this, and my special toast to you.…

Her artwork is in prestigious museum collections, and her commercial work has appeared in renowned magazines like the Smithsonian. In her third act after a 30-year teaching career, Sky felt pulled by her dreams and passions in the direction of being behind the lens of a different kind, motivated and inspired by the love of her Grandma who was turning 100. She wanted to find other people like her Grandmother who could be her role models for aging. Sky spent 4 years interviewing 40 ppl with a collective life experience of 3000 years and created the film Lives Well Lived currently on PBS, Amazon, and iTunes to name a few. Her goal was to discover their secret, and she found that they had 3 things in common, which she shares with us, and more! You will feel incredibly positive about aging after watching her film. It has been so popular that she then wrote the book "Lives Well Lived — GENERATIONS. " The first half is about her experiences making the film and the lessons she learned.

Sky’s passion is creating films and projects that inspire intergenerational connections, emphasizing the power of shared stories.

Welcome back to Loving Later Life and if you are a returning Loving Later Lifer I so appreciate you. If you are new, thank you, welcome and this is a hell of a first episode to hear! And I’m hoping it won’t be your last. I’m going out on a limb with this one while reminding myself of phrases like, ‘not everyone will like what you have to say, and that’s ok,’ or Hamilton’s, "If you stand for nothing, what will you fall for" or as Martin Luther King Jr. said, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter,” and yes, lastly the saying: "If you see something, say something." I have been silent, and I’m at the point now where I feel if I don’t say something, it will make me complicit in history repeating itself, and as MLK said, in watching our lives (as we know it) begin to end. I decided that I can’t let the fear of losing listeners or of upsetting anyone prevent me from sharing a perspective that I’ve been thinking about, and then heard it stated much more eloquently by a historian. So, I ask that you please hang in for thirteen minutes until the end, no matter if you agree or not.…

Writing a book together was the last thing they thought they'd be doing at this stage of their lives, but the magic that came with finding each other later in life compelled them to share their story. And they wanted to do their part in making things a little bit easier and more fun when tackling the world of dating. You will not be able to listen to this without smiling the entire time. We had so much fun, and we also had fun navigating some internet issues including my power going out in the middle of our conversation! Come join us in the fun!…

Ellen was also a guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 1992, on the show where Oprah spoke openly about her own struggles with emotional eating, for the first time ever. Prior to her work in the Wellness Field, Ellen was a journalist. Her documentaries and news series on Binge Eating Disorder won Emmys and a Clarion Award. Also joining us is a client of Ellen’s, Kathy Blackburn. Kathy shares vulnerably and beautifully her personal experience in overcoming her challenges with emotional eating. After listening to this episode, you will have a greater understanding of this all-too-common issue, and if you deal with this, you will also feel understood and hopeful, because there is a way out. We hope you’ll listen and share to help others……

Encore encore Rachel Wright! This episode is hugely important to me as Rachel’s mom. I am still getting messages as to how it has helped others by giving them an understanding about other lifestyle choices… “I was SO GRATEFUL to be able to step into a conversation (on this topic) with some knowledge provided so candidly and thoroughly by you and Rachel!“ My daughter Rachel MA, LMFT is a distinguished psychotherapist and is non-monogamous/polyamorous... and she and her partners Yair and Ashley just had a beautiful baby boy. In this episode, we talk about how to have tough conversations and improve communication in all of your relationships. The 2nd half is about her non-monogamous/polyamorous life, its challenges, misconceptions and much more. Someone recently said to me that they listened to the first part of the episode but stopped listening to the rest about non-monogamy because it’s not how this person chooses to live. While this lifestyle isn’t for everyone it is so important to learn about it. Why? In our current divisive climate we all know that when there is ignorance, there is judging and othering, which can lead to bullying, violence, loss of rights, freedoms and isolation. We need more understanding, kindness and love in this world and it starts with getting to know each other better. I hope you’ll listen to this episode at least once and share it to help open more minds and hearts and hopefully encourage understanding and acceptance for all kinds of love.…

What is Ageism? Ableism? What are everyday ageism’s? What can we do to liberate ourselves from the challenges of aging? I am so excited for you to hear this conversation that wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t said what the f*ck! I’ve always said, it never hurts to ask, and I am walking that walk these days. I first saw Ashton Applewhite on CBS Sunday Morning and I was pulled to reach out to even though I felt it would be a long shot. Loving Later Lifer’s, I am beyond happy to say that she said yes. Ashton is an internationally recognized expert on ageism, and the author of This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism. A co-founder of the Old School Anti-Ageism Clearinghouse, she speaks widely at venues that have included the TED mainstage, the United Nations and is at the forefront of the emerging movement to raise awareness of ageism and to dismantle it. In 2022 the Decade of Healthy Aging, a UN + WHO collaboration, named Ashton one of the Healthy Aging 50: fifty leaders transforming the world to be a better place to grow older. I know without a doubt that you will find this a compelling conversation. Treat yourself to this 47-minute episode to gain awareness about this ‘ism’ that can be used as a catalyst for change.

There’s no time to wait to feel ready. 2. If there’s something you’re passionate about, something you’re excited about stop wasting time and go do it. 3. When in doubt, do what you were going to do first, especially if you’re a second guesser or an over thinker. 4. People aged 60 + have the most difficulty sleeping. 5. There’s an old zen saying: you open the front door and you open the back door you let thoughts move through but you don’t sit them down and invite them to tea. 6. Sleep affects everything. It’s so foundational to our health. If we’re not sleeping everything is endangered. 7. If you’re a little older and you feel like you have a dream that you haven’t pursued yet, it’s not too late!

It’s a true tale of following the breadcrumbs that included the implosion of an abusive relationship, followed by finding myself in a scary seat at Disneyland for a life-changing ride, which led to traveling thousands of miles to begin a new life adventure only to be interrupted by the pandemic. This is a story of how listening to your inner knowing can lead you to incredible personal growth, creativity, and discovering resilience that you didn’t know you had.

Do we lose the art of longing as we get older? If so, do we miss it? What do you do when your partner is no longer interested in longing to do things, and you are? Should we hope that we don’t actually get what we desire so that we don’t lose that sense of longing?

How many of us lose a part of ourselves over time, either not realizing it, being in denial, or making the choice to allow it to happen because it was seemingly easier to go with the flow, or to appease a spouse or a parent or someone in our lives. I went to see the Broadway touring show of Funny Girl recently, and so many feelings came to the surface, including the feeling of my younger self rumbling beneath. She was feeling a bit overlooked, and I also saw a part of myself in Fanny Brice; perhaps a part of me that has been ignored at times over the years. It was an emotional day. Why are so many of us willing to give up our passions, our preferences, our dreams?? And why are we so afraid to ask for what we need and want? In this episode I share a very personal story in hopes that if you can relate, perhaps it will help you take some kind of action on your path to finding peace in your heart, your mind and soul so that you can live life the way you wish to live it.

Ideas for these episodes come from a variety of sources and at different times of the day and night. This one came flowing out of me from my personal experience, from a movie I love, and some hard facts. And I share all of it. The moments in our lives when we meet, connect and share with someone create meaningful relationships that are not only etched in our hearts and minds, they also have a profound effect on our quality of life. Based on research, the connection we feel for certain people and the relationships we have are crucial to our physical and psychological well-being. After you listen, I believe you will be motivated to make time to create more meaningful relationships and spend more time (IRL) with those whom you feel safe, seen and supported.

At first when Allie first reached out to me, I thought that maybe the subject of navigating the changes in life when becoming an empty nester may not be applicable to you all. And I’m here to tell you that I was wrong! I recently had a month filled with lots of people from my life coming to celebrate my mom and her artistic partner’s accomplishment of having their musical produced. There was so much love, support, and so many delicious hugs and conversations. And then it ended, and my ‘nest’ felt empty. We all deal with so many changes in life.

The past month has been one of a lot of feelings and experiences from one end of the spectrum to the other, some anticipated some not. From the saddest moments to the most exciting. From feeling disconnected, irrelevant and sad to the point of my face breaking out (which nevvver happens) to feeling embraced by the most loving hugs; both literally and metaphorically. It seems like it’s the big moments in life that attract most of our attention and anticipation. They are the times that embed themselves as memories in our mental film library. There’s no question that our huge accomplishments are huge and important. AND, so are the moments in between that fill our hearts and life experience. This got me thinking more about moments in between (the good ones of course)…an exercise I highly recommend doing. Remembering past good in between moments also reminds you that you had them, even when perhaps there were other not such good things happening at the same time. And that can be true again. Many of us are afraid that in later life there are to be fewer of these moments. And I say, if you believe that to be true, it will be. What do you choose to believe? I hope you'll join me to also hear which moments in between of mine came to mind.…

Hello and welcome back to the 68th episode of Loving Later Life, and I have to say that you are in for such a very special treat. You’re about to hear a story proving the fact that it is never, ever too late to see your dreams come true. This is a story of two incredible women in their 80’s…one of whom is my mother. It is a story of friendship, of courage, tenacity, resilience, love, and passion. It is a story that comes full circle spotlighting relationships, perseverance, and timing. I am so excited to say that due to a change in their schedule while my mom was in town for a presentation they were doing about Sarah at Dominican University, I was able to grab them for 30 minutes for an impromptu recording at a small park sitting at a picnic table. You all met my mom Elaine Lang Ockner in episode 35 of LLL and if you haven’t listened to it yet, you must check it out after you listen to this episode. She is is a pianist/composer, and Musical Director. She has composed the music for many musical stage productions and created original music for Bravo’s TV documentaries on the lives of Sarah Brightman, Jackie Chan and Nathan Lane. She was also pianist and Musical Director for Princess Cruises, Royal Viking, and Sitmar Cruise Lines. My mom met June Richards in 1979. June is a professional actress, theatre director and emeritus professor. June created theatre programs for Dominican University, Contra Costa College, and served as Chair of Visual and Performing Arts at San Diego City College, and has directed more than 100 productions . Since they met, they’ve been dear friends and artistic partners. Over the years their collaboration created many theatrical projects and wacky adventures behind the scenes. As single mothers they persisted even as they experienced heartache and sadness with relationships and loss of loved ones; choosing not to be taken down but instead to focus on their creative passion. One constant thread in the quilt of their creations was a musical they wrote in the 1980’s of the story of Sarah Bernhardt, the renowned French actress who also defied the odds and never gave up. Fast forward 40+ years later to right now, their musical “The Divine Sarah” has been selected out of over 40 submissions of new works by the Ross Valley Players in Marin County, California to be produced this month, March 2024. Ironically, 100 years after Sarah’s death, Paris recently had a Sarah Bernhardt exhibition. Vogue magazine had a spread, and Barbra Streisand is a super fan, talking about Sarah in her new book. (And if you’re listening Ms. Barbra, there is a ticket waiting for you at the theatre!) Loving Later Life listeners, if you want to be moved and inspired, you must listen to these women tell their story. Annnd, be sure to listen all the way through because I got special permission to share with you a one-minute sneak preview of one of the songs played by my mom, the composer, Elaine Lang Ockner. So now, picture if you will, I’m sitting at a picnic table with these two beautiful and talented women in the warm sun, birds chirping, (the occasional car driving by), and my phone resting on the table to record their incredible story….…

I took Alison’s series of workshops in 2006 for several years, and she changed how I looked at men and at relationships. Little did I know that one day I would have the honor of having her as my guest on my podcast almost 20 years later! Alison is a true expert in human behavior. In 1991 she began to study men to find out how she was bringing out the worst in them. Her success in understanding men led her to studying women’s behavior and making vital connections between the two. Bottom line dear Loving Later Life listeners: she will shock and surprise you with what she says about dating, sex, her own experience of losing her incredible husband in 2019, her current relationship, and how both men and women behave in ways that contradict and undermine our own purposes, goals, values, needs and relationships.…

If we choose to be open and aware, we can always be learning how to have what we crave and be happy with what we have all at the same time. We can feel happy and stuck at the same time.

Are You Living Life or Just Planning it? Some Quick Thoughts as My Plans Took a U-Turn 18:08

Are you a planner? Do you schedule everything so you can be organized and proactive, attempting to avoid all possible pitfalls along the way? And if you spend all your time planning, are you missing what is happening in your present moment? Are you living life or just planning it? This is an unplanned episode from the couch before I unexpectedly got on another plane headed to the East Coast. When my daughter breaks her foot and asks me to please come help her for a few days, I just go. Without plans and without over-thinking I’m in each moment making it happen. So many of us seem to be constantly controlling our schedules in advance. I’m wondering if we are also allowing ourselves to enjoy what we’re doing when we’re doing it. As we get older, I think we become more acutely aware of precious moments and the importance of paying attention to them. I hope you’ll join me on my couch as I talk with you as if you are on the other end of the phone. This time, I’m asking YOU for the take-aways, and what will be your mission?! Please email me at nancy@lovinglaterlife.com.…

How a Sense of Community and a Keychain Made a Magical Weekend…and inspired this episode. For those of you who listen regularly to Loving Later Life know that there was no episode last week as I prepared to go across the country for a workshop. I’m here to tell you that it was an incredible growth experience with many exciting take-aways, some of which I will share another time because there’s still so much I’m processing. The experiences I share in this episode include spontaneous adventures, realizations, and stories of the welcoming people in a town I’d never heard of, which culminate in two reminders that seemingly don’t go together; and also must. I hope you’ll come along with me for the ride!…

Hey everybody! This is going to be a shorter than the usual not so long episode…and please stay to the end so I can tell you something fun and important. The reason this is shorter is because I am getting ready for a trip that will be taking me many miles out of my comfort zone. I often talk the talk of how we have to be willing to take a risk or nothing will change; and I try to walk the walk just about every single day. Well, this will not be walking but flying. Literally. In this episode I share with you where I’m going and why, and why I’m nervous and excited. It is also important to listen to the end so you know what is new and different for next week!

This episode is very important for all of us. Please join me as I share the personal moments and revelations I had one night about the people in my life. I was at the surprise engagement party my son made for his partner. And that wasn’t the only surprise. I unexpectedly re-discovered how good it feels to be amongst people who are accepting, loving, genuine, supportive and kind. I felt a vibrational match with this group of amazing humans that I have not yet felt in this season of my life. Just a few days later I was reminded that according to a study done by the Harvard Study of Adult Development, the single best decision you can make to improve your health and happiness is to cultivate warm relationships. These are the people who make you feel warm and fuzzy; and safe. And then I heard a recording from Oprah where she said, “We are responsible for the energy that we allow to be brought into our space. You cannot move forward in your life to the level you want if you allow people in your space who are not supportive of you.” This all could not have been timelier for me. I'm confident it will impact you as well.…

Whether you’re in your car or lounging in a chair at a pool on vacation, taking a walk, on the couch relaxing…just don’t be eating for this one! I recently had a very fun 48 hours thanks to being in later life. Let’s just say you cannot say I’m full of shit. How’s that for a hint? Yes, had a colonoscopy. And I decided that it would be so cool to take you along with me on the journey, so I recorded myself (you can relax, not during any of those moments) as I was going through the time before as to what I was doing and how I was feeling. And then afterward on the ride home…which to be honest, I have no recollection of what words came out of my mouth. Before the entertainment portion of the episode, I remind you all of the importance of getting a colonoscopy and some updated information we should all know. Warning: There are some frequent puns that will roll your eyes! Join me!!…

Hello and welcome to Loving Later Life! I am Nancy Lang Gibbs your host, and this month I'm sharing some of my crazy ass dates and relationships. Last week was one of the more intense sagas, so this week, instead of the super soapy saga I was going to share, (I’ll save it for another time) I thought I’d share one that had some very funny moments before it became scary. After that, I have some one-liners from dates and almost dates that were so awful and absurd I had to write them down. Then a quick story of one that was actually a fix-up that turned sour, and lastly, to close out the episode and the month on a more positive note, I share about a couple of the good guys, even though they didn’t work out. And I want to say again, I’m sharing these because we all have stories and there are numerous benefits of sharing our stories for the storyteller and the listener. In fact, I invite you to please record a voice memo, or write a story of yours and send it to me so I can share it. And if you’d like to be a guest on LLL, let me know so we can discuss that possibility.…

Since the stores start displays for Valentine’s Day in December, I figure to start talking about dating and relationships two weeks before the big heart day is totally acceptable. In fact, here at Loving Later Life for the next month or so we’re going to wrap ourselves up in conversations about love, the search for love, and the stories of love—the good and the cringe worthy! (That part comes from my experiences!) I also have some very exciting guests lined up so don’t miss any episodes! With Valentine’s Day approaching, it is a good time to remember to treat ourselves and honor our most important relationship: the one with ourselves! One way to do this, is to be sure we’re setting boundaries. Boundary lines are essential to our total health. We are so conditioned not to disappoint and let down those we love. It might also upset, or even anger some people. It can be scary to draw that line in the sand knowing the possible consequences. In truth however, letting ourselves down is the worst option. It’s betraying yourself. I hope you’ll join me.…

Karen Cheong is an international transformational speaker, writer, champion for self-empowerment and healer who has worked with thousands of people worldwide. She is sharing with us how frequency work can change our lives. After a health crisis in her early 20's catalyzed her spiritual journey, she was driven by curiosity to explore the mystical and energetic systems that govern our experience—of ourselves, of others, and of life itself. Karen felt like something was missing—and that is when what she refers to as “frequency work” discovered her. By intensively releasing unconscious blocks she calls distortion patterns, she transformed not only the way her life looked, but the way her life felt. Momentum really started kicking in, and life became so much richer, so much fuller, and so much more expansive. Today, Karen guides others, helping them to start to experience the true richness of life, embrace their power as the intentional co-creator of their reality, and develop a deep connection to the Divine within. By providing step by step tools to self-realization, and releasing their distortion patterns at frequency level, her clients are able to rewrite their “spiritual blueprint,” truly living in the abundance of the present moment. This will open your mind, do not miss this conversation!…

Welcome bk to a very special episode of Loving Later Life, and if you are new, I hope you will continue to join me moving forward by clicking to ‘Follow’ LLL wherever you get your podcasts! Today, I have an incredibly special guest joining us! Now, before I tell you all about her, you must do yourself a favor and make it a priority to listen to the entire 50 minutes. If you can’t do it all at once, be sure that you make the time to finish the episode! My guest today is Dr. Stephanie McClellan. Dr. McClellan has a 30+ year career as a practicing, board certified OBGYN advocating and caring for the needs of women while integrating the world of research and academia with frontline care delivery. Trained at the University of Southern California, she quickly began creating innovative care models for women as she founded the Doctor’s Office for Women in Orange County, CA in 1987. Dr. McClellan practiced in this setting for 17 years, before starting another private practice bearing her name in 2004. As a result of the success of the Doctor’s Office for Women model, she collaborated with Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian in Newport Beach, CA to design and develop a premier women's healthcare program. Her evolving interest in good health and vibrant aging led to co-authoring a book on the science and clinic effects of chronic stress published by Simon & Schuster called “So Stressed: The Ultimate Stress Relief Plan for Women”. Recently Dr. McClellan served as the Chief Medical Officer of Tia, and the first practicing OB/GYN at Tia's NYC Clinic — an outpatient gynecology, primary care and wellness practice. Following Tia she served as Co-Founder and CMO for another growing tech-driven, women’s health start-up, Plenish. Dr. McClellan continues to see patients in her private practice, while serving as a consultant and Medical Advisor for companies across the country. She is sought-after on both the speaking and consulting circuits for her expertise in women’s health, hormone therapy and menopause. And, last but not least, she is my very own gynecologist! You are going to learn so much and also be very surprised by some of what she has to say!…

My special guest in this episode of Loving Later Life is Cathi Colas. Costco magazine did a cover story on 2nd chapters of life. It was about people, as they said, had one thing in common: a mindset open to opportunity. Cathi was one of those people featured. So, because I’m a lifelong proponent of the “it never hurts to ask” club, I looked her up and reached out to her asking if she’d join us on Loving Later Life! I am very happy to report that she said yes. Cathi has done many things in her life but it wasn’t until about 8 years ago that she found what lights her up. And then she made it a reality. Cathi is a professional Audiobook Narrator, Coach, and Voice Actress. She currently has over 60 audiobooks on Audible that include everything from Self-Help to Horror. She also has many notable voiceover credits on TV and video games. I hope you’ll join our conversation because you will be inspired by her journey to finally finding her passion and purpose in later life. And then we went even deeper about what keeps us from believing, trying, seeking, and doing anything that may give us joy in this chapter of our lives. Don't miss this!…

31:51

Hello Loving Later Life family. Before I tell you about this very special episode in more detail, I must tell you if you don’t already know, that today, is a milestone day. Today is June 26th, 2023, and on June 27th 2022, Loving Later Life’s first official episode was born, making this the official one year anniversary of Loving Later Life!! I suppose this could be a very good excuse for a cake, yes?! Well, the gestation for this baby took a lot longer than 9 months. If you haven’t listened to the very first full episode, I hope you will go back and do so as I share the story of its conception leading up to the date of birth. Click here to listen! Cranking out one episode a week has been so much fun, and pretty intense. You may or may not know that I am a one woman band including writing, recording, editing for sound, sound effects (that episode # 12 was fun to create),… creating a page for each episode on the website: https://nancylanggibbs.com/shownotes/ , submitting it all to the podcast hosting platform, creating visuals to promote each episode, the weekly email and more. On this anniversary day I am cognizant of walking the walk and taking moments to acknowledge my accomplishments without diminishing them by focusing on what could have been better or different. (But you know I'm going to go there for a second!) In my wildest dreams I wanted each episode Loving Later Life to be in thousands of listeners ears by this time, with wanna-be-Loving Later Life sponsors blowing up my phone. I should insert a record scratch sound effect here, because that didn’t happen…yet! If I had to grade myself tho, I’d say that I did what I set out to do as far as sharing my experiences, talking with experts, and amazing women telling their compelling stories. And I hope that you have felt heard, understood, valued and connected. The part I intend to continue to grow is the creating a safe place where we can connect, ask questions, get answers and feel inspired, part. What do I mean by that? I want to grow this community of women in later life, both virtually and in real life. Or, IRL as they say! I have some super exciting ideas that I’m working on, and I want to hear yours. What would interest and excite you? Would you like to see in person events, perhaps a monthly or by-monthly virtual way to connect with me and other Later Life listeners where we can share, learn, laugh and grow? What about a trip with fellow Loving Later Life listeners? These are not rhetorical questions. I would greatly appreciate your input. After all, it has been a year now and you know me pretty well, so this is no time to be shy with your thoughts. Please, write me and let me know if you have ideas and/or interest in any of the above! We all need community. Feeling a lack of connection with other women, especially at this age, is a recurring sentiment. Those of us with kids know that they have their lives. The landscape of our friends changes as we get older. Help me create this community with your feedback. It takes a village ladies. When I do episodes myself, I share my thoughts, experiences and stories. We’ve talked about love, loss, life after loss, and is there life after death. I’ve shared horrifying/funny dating experiences, my personal challenge of singing with a jazz band, pacifying perfectionism, tweaking the Golden Rule, listening with your whole face, talking with our younger selves, being afraid of joy, accepting the help of others, how the stories we tell ourselves are holding us back, getting out of our comfort zone, how setbacks and quitting may not be a bad thing, and so much more. The episodes with guests have covered topics like reinventing, love stories, death and dying, techniques and insights for better sleep, living with Alzheimer’s, Medicare, finding your superpower, hormone therapy/menopause/libido, real estate, and the value of positive affirmations…on your socks! I talk with a TV Emmy winner NYT best-selling author, a financial advisor, real estate expert, a veteran of the stand-up comedy scene, a CBS Sunday Morning correspondent/ author, anti-ageism activist, America’s premiere dating expert, and yes, my mom! As you may remember, with each guest, I ask the same 3 questions at the end of each conversation: 1. What for you have been the most rewarding things about getting older? 2. What are some of the most important lessons you have learned in your life. 3. With all that you have learned, what life advice would you pass along? So, I thought it would be neat for today’s anniversary episode to do a sort of highlight reel of their answers, taking one question at a time. It’s fun to hear similar answers expressed differently, and fascinating to also hear totally different answers. Putting this together was a lot of fun…for the most part! Anyhow, I hope you’ll listen to them all because these women are smart, insightful, funny, loving, caring humans. And to all you ladies who gave me the honor to speak with you…I must confess, I was humbled by your yes, to being my guest!! I am so very grateful to each and every one of you, and anytime you want to come back and visit Loving Later Life Land, I will welcome you with open arms. Please listen until my parting words at the end which includes some very important information. And….I want to thank you Loving Later Life Listeners….for being here not just at the beginning… for showing up with me week after week. While there may not be thousands of you yet, you are my core founding Loving Later Lifers! Without you, I wouldn’t be here and I hope you know how much I appreciate you. And now that we’re at the year mark, let’s move forward together. Please remember to let me know how the Loving Later Life community can be there for you! What would interest and excite you? Lastly, while I await your responses, I have decided to take the months of July and August off to regroup. I want to provide the time and space for ideas to perculate, cook and rise up so that I can create more opportunities for us all to love later life. And I hope you’ll add some ingredients into the mix by contacting me with what you’d like to experience. The next episode of Loving Later Life will drop on Monday, September 4th, Labor Day. Meanwhile, I’m hoping that if you are new to Loving Later Life, or you need to catch up on some episodes, this will give you time to listen to any of the other 52 episodes while you’re on summer vacation, on a road trip, or just chilling on a nice weekend. And if any of the episodes are helpful for you in any way I’d so appreciate if you would share them. Remember how viral covid became was when it was 1:1. Simply letting one other person know about Loving Later Life and asking them to do the same will help to grow this community of women exponentially. Thank you so much, and let me hear from you!…

Hello and welcome back to Loving Later Life! Everyone listening today is in for a very special treat and her name is Jan Kreidman. For those who have been listening to Loving Later Life you know that the episodes will be a combination of my thoughts/stories and experiences, talking with experts, and also brave women telling their compelling stories. Well today, I am talking with one courageous woman. I knew that her story would be an important one to share with all of you. I also knew that Jan met her husband in later life and not long after he was diagnosed with early dementia. What I didn’t know is about her incredible journey prior to meeting her beloved Steve. I didn’t know about her contagious outlook on life. Her courageous choices that went against the societal grain, her love for taking risks, for embracing the unknown and ability to embrace the valleys. Her skill in listening to what is right for her even when it meant zigging when she was expected to zag, and how she lives her life with a drive to thrive, feeling all the feelings and not letting anything steal her spirit. And then there is her love story. Jan didn’t meet Steve until she was 66. And you’ll just have to listen to know how long she had been single prior to that. You’ll also hear about their unique story of how their relationship escalated, and what has happened since they’ve been married. This is not a story that will make you sad. If anything, you just might have a more positive outlook about life’s possibilities. Please join us. I promise you will be glad you did!!…

After a conversation with a friend, I was inspired and reminded once again that it isn’t fair to assume that because someone is of a certain age they won’t understand or won’t evolve or expand the way they look at things. I am specifically talking about ‘old dogs.’ I also give an honorable mention to one other saying that I don’t agree with. So, in answer to the title, I say false. You can teach an old dog new tricks IF they are of open mind and spirit. So won’t all you ‘old dogs’ come and join me and see what you think?!…

Would you believe that the road paved with setbacks can be the way to fulfillment? To love? To joy? To peace of mind? To happiness? To success? To satisfying relationships? Are what we perceive as setbacks, always actually a setback? This week’s episode was inspired by one of my recent experiences, and a comment made in the show A Million Little Things. All of this led me to the concept of how our perception of situations can affect the quality of our lives. Things are not always as they appear if we are able to zoom out and be more of an observer of our lives. I hope that you’ll zoom in with me to see that possibly what we see as setbacks on our road of life are actually pointing us in the right direction.…

Have You Seen Fleishman Is in Trouble? 18:25

I recently watched a series on Hulu called Fleishmann’s in Trouble with Jesse Eisenberg, Claire Danes, Lizzy Caplan and Adam Brody. In my humble opinion, this series should get nominated for a plethora of awards, and I would like to thank my son for recommending I watch it. Taffy Brodesser-Akner the showrunner of the show (and author of the novel upon which it’s based) described it best: “It’s a story about middle age and marriage and divorce, and getting older and nostalgia and lifelong friendship, and parenting and career and ambition. There’s no category of middle-class, middle-life that it isn’t about. But ultimately, Fleishman is a story about storytelling.” And yes, while this show focuses on mid-life and most of us here are in later life, one of my biggest take-aways is that no matter what age we are, we are all human and experience many of the same feelings and challenges. So much of what happened in this show resonated with me even though I’m 2 decades older than the characters. After I watched all 8 episodes I went back and hand-picked some of the quotes that stood out most to me so I could share them with you; and I think they may resonate with you too. Join me?!…

What is Ageism? Ableism? What are everyday ageism’s? What can we do to liberate ourselves from the challenges of aging? Hello and welcome back to Loving Later Life. I am so excited for you to hear this conversation that wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t said what the f*ck! I’ve always said, it never hurts to ask, and I am walking that walk these days. About a month ago on a Sunday my mom sent me a clip of a segment from CBS Sunday Morning that she happened to see and thought I’d find interesting. Not only was she correct, I was also pulled to reach out to one of their featured guests even though I feared it would be a long shot. Loving Later Lifer's, I am beyond happy to say that Ashton Applewhite said yes. Ashton is an internationally recognized expert on ageism, and the author of This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism. A co-founder of the Old School Anti-Ageism Clearinghouse, she speaks widely at venues that have included the TED mainstage, the United Nations and is at the forefront of the emerging movement to raise awareness of ageism and to dismantle it. In 2022 the Decade of Healthy Aging, a UN + WHO collaboration, named Ashton one of the Healthy Aging 50: fifty leaders transforming the world to be a better place to grow older. I know without a doubt that you will find this a compelling conversation. Treat yourself to this 47-minute episode to gain awareness about this ‘ism’ that can be used as a catalyst for change.…

Hi there and welcome back to Loving Later Life! I’ve been in Arizona for the weekend to spend time with my Dad and his wife to be together for his 88th birthday. I remember like it was yesterday throwing him a surprise 50th …38 years ago! So crazy. We had a wonderful relaxing time talking and talking and eating and eating. I feel so grateful at my age to still have both my parents around and available for quality time. Birthday’s, like holiday time, are milestones marking the passage of time. Sometimes these milestones are joyous and sometimes they can be stressful, painful, difficult and challenging to name a few. Am I right? I actually had another episode all cued up and ready to go for this week, and I realized I can’t skip over this ‘most wonderful time of the year’ without calling out what so many of us feel, think… and don’t say. So I am sitting here on the airplane in the middle seat, the day before this is to drop, writing down my thoughts to make this episode happen. As soon as I get home around 8pm, I will record, edit, write the shownotes (which I hope you check out on occasion at nancylanggibbs.com/shownotes), and then I’ll hopefully upload it in time for it to drop tonight at midnight PST. It would be much easier to let the scheduled episode land in your queue, but I’ve gotta follow my gut on this one. There is also a very special part to this episode because…. some listeners wanted to chime in with their thoughts regarding the last episode, which warned against getting bugs in your eyes. And if you didn’t listen to it yet you must, in order to know what that means! So yes! You will hear recordings from women sharing their thoughts on how they feel about asking for help. I want to thank you ladies for sharing...and for your help! So be sure to listen all the way through to hear what they have to say!…

The article I wrote that I’m going to read you in this episode coincides with the idea that we all need one another; not only at this time of year, but all the year round. This point is driven home (another pun intended which you’ll understand once you listen) in a TV show I was watching some years ago, using an analogy with the help of a term that bikers use.

Brene Brown was asked how long true grief lasts, and her answer was, “As long as it takes.” I believe that love in a relationship continues once someone is gone and I have witnessed this by receiving what I believe are ‘signs’ from the other side. I share unexplainable events that have happened to me after losing people I love, and also stories from others. Skeptics may think what they want, and I challenge any of them to explain how these things could have happened. We are energy, and our energy doesn't die.

How to Embrace Aging Despite the Media 27:02

Aging. Try and avoid it at all costs. This is basically the message the media tries to convey to women. They sell us on the fact that we are not as beautiful, and not as sexy as we would be if we erased, plumped, lifted, and enhanced our aging selves. They tell us that looking younger is sexier. It’s all about fighting aging instead of embracing it. They drill into our psyche that it’s a bad thing to look older. In an infomercial I saw recently, the main point being rubbed into our brain was that we should us their cream to erase our wrinkles, erase the crepiness in our skin, erase, erase erase. We can embrace aging despite the media. Please join me as I look at how this can affect our sense of worth and value. In this episode I push my comfort level of vulnerability in sharing some of what has been said and done to me when I have dared to go without make-up and as I have gotten older. Quotes from Maria Shriver and Glennon Doyle help me express my message to all of us women of a certain age: embracing aging can empower us to feel sexy and beautiful while accepting all parts of us.…

Happy September everyone. I can’t believe we’re turning the corner to Fall and then the holidays already, again. The seasons we are falling into, pardon the pun, are of things dying annnnd recognizing the beauty that also surrounds it. Finding beauty in dying is usually challenging. For most of my life I had total fear around it, which I think began when I was 13 when my great uncle passed away. It was my first experience with someone I was close with dying. He was bigger than life and everybody loved Uncle Sam. My family flew to Chicago to go to his funeral and we stayed in his home, which really spooked me at the time because all his things and medicine were in place as if he were still there. At the funeral they had his casket open and I’ll never forget how scared I was as I saw him under this red-ish light that was hanging above, and my grandfather loudly crying over his brother. It was the only time I had seen my grandpa cry. Needless to say that left quite the impression on me with regard to death and dying. And not a good one. Last year I happened to watch a TEDx talk on this topic with Dr. Martha Jo Atkins from 2013, which has over a million views. And when I heard her say, “When we educate families and the patient about the experiences of dying, there is less fear. And my goodness, we need less fear around death and dying” I grabbed my computer and wrote to ask her to be my guest on Loving Later Life. And I am so thrilled to tell you that she said yes! Dr. Martha Jo Atkins, is a dog-loving, (Ph.D.) end-of-life licensed professional counselor and counselor supervisor (LPC-S), coach, speaker , doula and author. Dr. Atkins has a thirty-year career helping children and adults negotiate end-of-life and grief. She is the founder of the Children’s Bereavement Center of South Texas, served as Executive Director of Abode Contemplative Care for the Dying in San Antonio, and is the author of the book Signposts of Dying. She is the founder of Dying School, designed to build community while deepening conversations around end-of-life + aliveness. Now don’t touch that dial! I can’t wait to share this conversation with you and I do believe that it will have you thinking a little differently about death and dying. And I really want to have her back because there is so much more I want to talk about with her that we just didn’t have time for. So get comfy, and let’s let Martha Jo help us think about and talk about dying……

As we grow older we accumulate some wisdom along the way, which can be cleverly disguised as heartbreak, loss, pain, disappointment, sadness, embarrassment, hurt or growing pains. So, if we get wiser as we get older, why do so many of us, so often, look outside ourselves for the answers? Perhaps they’re in a place inside us where we’d least expect! In this episode, we experiment with a different way of discovering wisdom to find answers, feel emotionally safe, loved, and heard. Please join me, and I’d love to hear how it worked for you!…

Do You Listen With Your Whole Face? 16:39

Today I’m talking about what I believe is quickly becoming a lost art: Listening. I think it’s also the biggest gift we can give someone else. When we aren’t truly listening, it means that the person who is trying to share something with us is likely not feeling heard. Feeling heard, is one of the most universal human needs, and when that need is not met on a consistent basis, it just doesn’t lead to anything good! Whether we’re 5 or 85 we want to feel that someone is listening to us. Do you always ‘listen’ with your head down in your phone? While watching TV? In this episode I share some stories that might just make you never want to do that again. It may also change the way you look at listening forever. I hope you’ll listen. (See what I did there?!)…

This is an unplanned episode. My efforts to be organized and plan somewhat ahead got thrown off course a little as I felt blindsided by some friendly feedback. So, I deviated from the plan (heaven forbid) and this, My Confession, is now episode 6. It’s my reaction, my feelings, my introspection about how something many may consider morbid is my motivator; and a whole lot more. I hope you’ll join me.…

I am honored and thrilled to share a conversation I had with Ciji Ware. Ciji is a Harvard graduate, New York Times and USA Today bestselling novelist, Emmy award winning television producer, reporter for TV and radio, a DuPont award winner for investigative journalism, and sought-after event speaker. In this episode, Ciji shares fascinating fun facts and stories you won’t believe. She grew up in Hollywood (and James Cagney was her godfather); as a married TV reporter for NBC, she was fired in 1971 because she got pregnant; just a few years ago she found out she had cancer with the help of a spider; and now at 80, she is writing her 16th novel. This book is the third in the series “American Spy Sisters” inspired by brave U.S. women secret agents who fought the Nazis in WWII. Ciji has had many setbacks and challenges, and she persevered. Listen to this inspiring conversation and you will be reminded that you can make it through anything by accepting change, and staying both curious and grateful.…

Are you more patient with other people than you are with yourself? Do you talk to (or about) yourself the same way you would a dear friend? Have you noticed what you’ll do for others but not for yourself? I’m not going to give any spoiler alerts about how I’ve decided to change the Golden Rule! However, I will say that the main topic in today’s episode is about how we treat ourselves and how we talk to ourselves compared to how we do so with others. Please join me in tweaking the Golden Rule in a way you may not have thought about before, and let’s do it before we do any further harm to ourselves!…

I am so honored to have Cathy Brown as a guest on Loving Later Life. Cathy is a financial advisor, and President of CB Wealth Management Group, which is a family-owned business in Palm Desert, CA. Cathy has her degree in Economics from the University of Notre Dame, has worked at Merrill Lynch, American Express, and Smith Barney until she realized her goal of creating her own independent financial planning company. She was also the financial analyst for the local CBS affiliate for 7 years, has received the Elite Advisor designation from her broker-dealer IFG for the last 7 years, and has enjoyed giving back to her community for the last 30 years. Cathy is also the proud mother of two sons and extra proud grandmother of two grandchildren. Last but not least, she is my financial planner, and I don’t know what I’d do without her! Cathy has guided me over the years to help me create a nest egg for myself that I wasn’t able to start building until later in life because of my life’s circumstances. In this episode we cover many important topics including how to choose a financial advisor and what to be leery of; what the most important things are for us to know and be prepared for; what to do given the stock market today; what if you don’t have a retirement portfolio—is it too late? What are some safe ways to invest our money right now? What are the most important things we should all have in place…and lots more! --LOVING LATER LIFE SHOWNOTES: https://nancylanggibbs.com/shownotes/ --LOVING LATER LIFE INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/lovinglaterlifepodcast/ --LOVING LATER LIFE FB PAGE: https://www.facebook.com/lovinglaterlifepodcast --DOWNLOAD “The First 5 Steps to Loving Later Life” at https://nancylanggibbs.com/…

How to Give Up Perfectionism 22:12

Do you feel that everything needs to be ‘perfect’ before you start something, do something, or even think about it doing something? Perfectionism. How often do you allow this ‘ism’ to keep you from enjoying your day-to-day life by making perfect, the enemy of progress? To be honest, it almost kept me from doing this podcast. The perfection monster likes to take up space in our heads telling us things like: if you can’t do it perfectly don’t do it at all, don’t even think of trying something new because you won’t do it perfectly right away, just wait until the ‘perfect time’ when you feel ready, or don’t date or buy new clothes until you get to the perfect weight. If we allow it, this monster can rob us of doing what will bring us joy, fulfillment, fun, and from living whole-heartedly. I hope you’ll come with me while we kick this ‘ism’s’ butt! --LOVING LATER LIFE SHOWNOTES: https://nancylanggibbs.com/shownotes/ --LOVING LATER LIFE INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/lovinglaterlifepodcast/ --LOVING LATER LIFE FB PAGE: https://www.facebook.com/lovinglaterlifepodcast --DOWNLOAD “The First 5 Steps to Loving Later Life” at https://nancylanggibbs.com/…

Welcome to the first official episode of Loving Later Life! Please join me, Nancy Lang Gibbs, Later Life Coach and published writer, as I share Who I am (I tried to keep it from sounding like a combo of my resume and dating profile), What this podcast is all about, Why the heck I’m doing it, When you can tune in on a regular basis, Where you can find it, and How the idea for this podcast was born. You’ll hear how I’m finding my voice again. I share an overview of my journey including how, after the implosion of an abusive relationship I landed in a seat at Disneyland for a life changing ride, which led to traveling thousands of miles to begin a new life adventure only to be cut short by Covid. I also flashback to some other twists and turns along my path including my divorce, and then losing my home and moving in with my mom in my 50’s. I’m now 62 and it’s not too late for any of us to live our best Later Life! I hope you’ll come with me on this journey! --LOVING LATER LIFE SHOWNOTES: https://nancylanggibbs.com/shownotes/ --LOVING LATER LIFE INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/lovinglaterlifepodcast/ --LOVING LATER LIFE FB PAGE: https://www.facebook.com/lovinglaterlifepodcast --DOWNLOAD “The First 5 Steps to Loving Later Life” at https://nancylanggibbs.com/…
