In this 100th podcast episode, I celebrate two women in my life who have lived to 100 years old and beyond with Dr. Amy, a life transitions expert. My Nana Mo and my Great Aunt Alice, each from different sides of my family lived to be 103 and 104 respectively. These women role modeled what it meant to be a feminist before it was fashionable. Dr. Amy shares her insights as to how to live a long, rewarding life and how having essential conversations with family members helps you share your legacy of stories, memories, and values. The first of a 3-part series on Breaking Money Silence® on Longevity, this episode is not to be missed!
