In EPISODE 190 OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER  I talk to author, Sue Camaione, author of “The Practical Seductress: How I Learned to Take My Hat and Run”,  about the value of writing a memoir.  Sue is a member of The Writers Center in Bethesda, Maryland. Two of the chapters from The Practical Seductress were originally presented to Washington DC–area audiences at the Story Fest Short Slam storytelling contests. In addition to performing in area storytelling competitions, Sue is penning her second book, a dark comedy of errors, and learning to play drums. Sue’s eclectic professional life included working as an Education reporter, publications creative manager, and a business development professional focused on health research. Sue is also a literacy mentor to area students, hoping to foster a new generation of writers.

Dr. Gillian Lockitch Dr. Gillian Lockitch

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.
