Turning Toward More Days: Aging, Meaning, and the Art of Becoming Whole | Ep. 411

  1. Turning Toward More Days: Aging, Meaning, and the Art of Becoming Whole | Ep. 411 Jeff Armstrong 35:02

What does it mean not just to live longer — but to live more fully?

In this episode, Dr. Jeff Armstrong sits down with Becky Blue, author of Turning: The Magic and Mystery of More Days, to explore the deeper work of becoming whole over time.

Drawing from her personal journey and reflections on transformation, Rebecca shares how pivotal life transitions can become invitations — not just to change direction, but to reorient the center of our lives.

Together, they explore the connection between aging and flourishing, the role of identity and purpose, and what it means to move from fragmentation toward integration across the spiritual, physical, intellectual, emotional, and social dimensions of life.
