The Long Life Era: Thriving at Any Age with Marla Letizia | Ep #32

In this episode, our guest Marla Letizia sparks a vibrant conversation about aging and living our BEST life — no matter how old we are. We dive into what happens at different stages of life, and don’t worry, young listeners — this one’s for you, too!

How old would you be if you didn’t know your age?

That question framed our discussion on how to feel your absolute best, regardless of the number!

And here’s another thought-provoking question: How old do you think you’ll be when you die?

Did you know that 85% of people who answer that question for life insurance actually die at the age they predicted? Why do you think that is? And more importantly, do you want to change it?

We’re living longer than ever, and Marla believes the first person to live to 120 is already here. Could it be you? What does it take to live with that kind of longevity?

Imagine retiring at 65 and having another 30 years to pursue a brand-new career or passion. That’s an incredible window of time for new possibilities, new achievements, and fresh adventures. The question is — what will you do with it? How’s your health, and is it set up to support an active, fulfilling lifestyle for the next three decades?

Society starts aging us as soon as we hit 50. The AARP card shows up in the mail, followed by Medicare, and suddenly we’re labeled as “senior.” But we’re living in the longest phase of our lives, so let’s redefine what aging means! It all starts with mindset. Marla shares that she doesn’t yet know what her next big move will be, but she’s certain that when she turns 90, she’ll be starting a new business or venture!

Let’s embrace this journey together and thrive at any age — it all begins right now, no matter what stage of life you’re in.

The Dash
by Linda Ellis

I read of a man who stood to speak
at the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on the tombstone
from the beginning…to the end.

He noted that first came the date of birth
and spoke the following date with tears,
but he said what mattered most of all
was the dash between those years.

For that dash represents all the time
that they spent alive on earth.
And now only those who loved
