Living our truth means embracing authenticity, pursuing passions, and unapologetically living by values. For Baby Boomers, it’s about breaking stereotypes and reclaiming our identity, especially as we are Aging. Whether it’s chasing a lifelong dream, rekindling Relationships, or fighting for a cause, our generation is characterized as resilient and resourceful, and leaving our mark on future generations is living our truth because we have learned from our mistakes in the past. Our Experts in this section of the site explore how our past experiences of questioning authority, pushing back against societal norms, and fighting for equality, shaped our worldview and continue to drive our decisions today.
Our truth comes in redefining Retirement knowing that it is not the end, but the beginning of a new chapter where we explore hobbies, traveling and pursue personal Growth. We have the opportunity to rekindle connections with Family and friends. We can give back through service to others. We can champion causes that we care about such as climate change, social justice, and healthcare reform. We can leave a Legacy that reflects our values and passions through Philanthropy, storytelling, or family traditions. Living our truth as we redefine aging, is embracing authenticity, pursuing passions, and living in alignment with our values, regardless of societal expectations.

Someone else just decided what you're worth.
You didn't get a vote.
That's happening in the whiskey industry right now. Barrels that were worth a fortune two years ago are worth a fraction of that today, even though the whiskey inside hasn't stopped becoming exactly what it was crafted to become.…

Someone else just decided what you're worth.
You didn't get a vote.
That's happening in the whiskey industry right now. Barrels that were worth a fortune two years ago are worth a fraction of that today, even though the whiskey inside hasn't stopped becoming exactly what it was crafted to become.
I think the same thing happens to leaders every time a market, a board, a new CEO, or a changing economy decides to value something different.
This episode uses a whiskey industry crash — and a rickhouse full of barrels that have no idea the market changed its mind about them — to ask a hard…

Discover why selling an eight-figure business can feel like grief disguised as success, how delegation is the real bottleneck between scaling and plateauing, and the counterintuitive truth that derails most women entrepreneurs: it's never about having a bigger vision. It's about believing you're worthy of one—and whether you have the systems and people around you to make it real.In This E…

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.
Maybe like me you love hearing stories by women who know who they are. They don’t waste words on small talk. They don't give "nice" little speeches. When they speak, the whole room stops.
Many of us spend our lives doing the exact opposite. We say what we think people want to hear. We shy away from speaking our truth, offering our ideas.
For example, recall a time when you spoke up in a meeting. The surface story is: “I pitched an idea, it got rejected, a…

A federal judge said something this week that should concern every American, regardless of their politics.
Judge Kathleen Williams ruled that President Trump’s lawsuit against the IRS was filed for an “improper purpose.”
Think about that.
Not “weak.”
Not “unpersuasive.”
Not merely “dismissed.”
Improper purpose.
I wrote about this in May, questioning the lawsuit’s validity and Trump’s motives. I’m pleased Judge Williams agreed.
According to the judge, the lawsuit was used to lend judicial legitimacy to a settlement with no basis in law—one that would h…

Veteran progressive PR strategist David Fenton says Democrats are guilty of “unilateral disarmament in message war with Republicans.
By Bob Gatty
Democrats and progressives are bringing policy papers to an information war—and veteran activist and public relations strategist David Fenton says they are getting clobbered.
After more than 50 years helping progressive causes win public attention and political support, Fenton has a blunt diagnosis: Democrats too often use complicated language, assume good ideas will sell themselves and fail to communicate with the mass audience in a way people c…
