Aging Better (Part I): Reimagining Midlife & What’s Possible

As we begin a new year, this episode marks a fresh chapter for the Living Big Mindfully podcast.

After a brief pause, Kate shares reflections on stepping away from the noise, reconnecting with purpose, and moving toward a more intentional way of creating and connecting. The podcast is evolving into a more mindful format—offering mini-series and deeper conversations that honor your time, energy, and lived experience.

This episode sets the foundation for a two-part Aging Better mini-series focused on reframing midlife, purpose, and what’s possible as we age.

In Part I, Kate is joined by Allison McCune Davis, naturopath and author of Sixty Is a Good Start. Together, they explore how to reimagine aging, embrace midlife with intention, and rediscover vitality, meaning, and possibility.

Allison invites us to view life after fifty not as a period of decline, but as an opportunity for growth, clarity, and renewed purpose.

In Part II, the conversation continues Dr. Betsy Greenleaf--with a deeper exploration of the body, hormones, and holistic health—offering practical tools to support vibrant aging for both women and men.

To support this series, Kate has created the Aging Better Tool Kit—a free resource filled with simple tools and gentle micro-practices you can weave into everyday life. Download here: https://livingbigmindfully.com/aging-better

As the year comes to a close, I wanted to reshare a conversation that continues to resonate—especially during this time of year.

This episode explores a simple question: Can one word change your life?

Rather than setting long lists of resolutions, this approach invites reflection, clarity, and intention. A single word can act as a quiet compass—something to return to when things feel noisy or uncertain.

I’m resharing this episode on New Year’s Eve as an invitation to pause. To reflect on what you’re ready to release from this past year, and what you might want to carry forward into the new one.

There’s nothing to fix. Nothing to accomplish. Just space to listen and consider what feels meaningful for you. If a word begins to emerge, trust it. If not, that’s okay too.

In this episode, Russell Rogers and I dive into the power of intention—and the incredible influence our words can have on how we live our lives.

We talk about:

• Why a single word can be more effective than a New Year’s resolution
• How to choose your word
• Ways to thoughtfully incorporate your word into daily life

Whether you’re reflecting on your physical health, relationships, or personal growth, this conversation offers practical ideas and gentle guidance to help make the year ahead more intentional and meaningful.

As you know, this show is all about inspiring and supporting people to live longer, stronger, and more intentional lives. I’ve been using power words to guide my own year for some time now—and I truly believe in the process. I’ve seen the growth it can bring. Honestly, it’s kind of wild.

If this episode resonates, consider sharing it with a friend or loved one who might appreciate a quieter, more grounded way to step into the New Year.

Whether you’re listening for the first time or you’ve been here for a while, please know how much I appreciate you. Thank you for being part of this community—and for listening. Wishing you a peaceful, healthy year ahead...

Are you honoring your inner adventurer?

Today we explore that question in a powerful conversation with Ted Jackson — endurance athlete, director of the North Pole Marathon, and philanthropist known for his passion for extreme adventure.

Ted has run seven marathons on seven continents in seven days. He’s rowed across the Atlantic Ocean — twice. He’s crossed the deserts of Chile, raced through the streets of Sydney, and raised significant awareness for Multiple Sclerosis.

But despite these incredible achievements, Ted struggled to feel that he was truly enough. His journey through addiction, self-reflection, and healing eventually helped him realize that adventure isn’t just about the challenge — it’s about growth, resilience, and stepping outside our comfort zones.

This conversation reminds us of the importance of pushing ourselves, embracing discomfort, and recognizing that the spirit of adventure is deeply wired into all of us. I hope it sparks something in you too!

On a personal note — things are shifting a bit in my world. It’s summer, which means I’m spending more time outdoors, unplugging, and filling my creative cup. So podcast episodes may be a little less frequent.
