In this meaningful conversation, Wendy Green sits down with Becky Blue to talk about aging with curiosity, purpose, and passion. Becky shares her journey of becoming a first-time author at 60, proving that it’s never too late to follow a dream. Her book, Turning: The Magic and Mystery of More Days, isn’t just a story—it’s an invitation to rethink what’s possible in the years ahead.

Together, Wendy and Becky dive into the common fears and doubts that can hold us back as we get older—like the fear of failure or feeling like our best days are behind us. But what if we approached aging like an explorer—full of curiosity and open to new possibilities? They explore how adopting this mindset can help us break through limiting beliefs, embrace change, and step into the unknown with excitement instead of hesitation.

This episode is filled with real talk, personal stories, and encouragement to help you redefine what aging means to you. Wendy and Becky also touch on the power of community and connection, reminding us that we don’t have to navigate this journey alone. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late to start something new, this conversation will leave you feeling inspired and ready to take the next step—whatever that looks like for you!
