The Moment We Realized We Were Getting Older

In this episode of Silver Not Gray, we talk about the moment we realized we were getting older—not all at once, but in small, often funny, and unexpected ways.

We share stories about physical changes, shifting priorities, and how the world begins to see you differently over time. Most importantly, we reflect on what it means to accept this stage of life—and maybe even appreciate it more than we expected.

Why We Started Silver Not Gray

Welcome to the premiere episode of Silver Not Gray!

We’re Don and Nanny—a long-married couple, grandparents, and two people still figuring things out as we navigate life after 60.

In our very first episode, we share why we started this podcast and our hope to create a cozy place for honest conversations about life, love, marriage, family, and getting older without fading into the background. We talk about the funny moments, the unexpected shifts, and why we refuse to let life slow down.

Plus, we launch our recurring segment, Nanny’s Candy Jar, where Nanny unwraps a classic favorite and gives it her own sweet review!
