THIS EPISODE OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER reflects on the unique perspective of grandparents, having the freedom to Love their grandchildren without the responsibility of shaping them and highlights the value of empowering ourselves to value and share the Wisdom we have accumulated through life with the young ones around us.

Today’s Featured Guest is Judith Frizlen, writer, teacher, mother, grandmother, founder of the Rose Garden Early Childhood Center and author of Where Wisdom Meets Wonder:  40 Stories of Grandma Love. An advocate for young children and everyone who cares for them – she is a champion of play and loves to go on adventures with her husband – whether traveling, kayaking, hiking, bicycling, or just strolling through the local park. Her other books include: “Unpacking Guilt, a Mother’s Journey to Freedom”, “Words for Parents in Small Doses”, and “Words for Teachers and Caregivers in Small Doses”.

Dr. Gillian Lockitch is an international speaker, author of Growing Older, Living Younger: The Science of Aging Gracefully and The Art of Retiring Comfortably, and host of the Growing Older, Living Younger Podcast. As a dual-certified Specialist in Paediatrics and Medical Biochemistry and Professor at the University of British Columbia, her professional career was rooted in science. During her rehabilitation from life-saving emergency spinal surgery, her passion to be able to dance again led her to explore the intersection of medical and epigenetic science with non-Western healing traditions, to understand how to change aging at the cellular level. Within the Growing Older, Living Younger Project, the Change Your Aging Masterplan cycle is a year-long 3 part coaching program to preserve mind and brain, build your best body, and to survive and thrive in your environment. At 70 Dr. Lockitch became a first time entrepreneur, building a global online business with the premiere wellness and beauty company, to help others extend their healthspan, stay vibrant, active, and independent as they age. Now retired from medical practice, Dr. Lockitch is an empathetic coach and mentor but does not diagnose, treat or prescribe for medical diseases.
