As we approach the end of the summer, I wanted to revisit some of my staff’s favorite podcast episodes of all time. This week we start with my favorite episode with Dr. Amy D’Prix to celebrate our 100th episode. Dr. Amy and I discuss women’s longevity and two special women in my life – my maternal grandmother, Nana Mo, and my paternal great aunt, Aunt Alice. While I love being a podcast host and enjoy all my interviewing experiences, I love this one because it highlights two special women in my life that taught me at a very young age that women could change the world. 

Here are the original show notes and description. I hope you enjoy this encore episode as much as I enjoyed recording it. Happy Listening! kbk

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! 

Dr. Amy’s Plan B Question:

If there was a shift in my health or mobility, or the health and mobility of someone I love, what might I do differently?
