In this episode of Next Third Best Third, I open up about one of the biggest health and purpose crises we’re facing today: We’re living longer, but not better. Americans are now reaching their 70s, 80s, and even 90s in greater numbers than ever—but are we doing so with vitality, clarity, and joy?

We dive into the hard truths—rising obesity, cognitive decline, medication dependency, and dangerous inactivity—and challenge the myths around aging, retirement, and what “later life” should look like. I share not just statistics, but stories from my own journey, including how I transformed my 60s through exercise, purpose, and passion. From running a podcast to taking acting classes, my life is fuller now than ever before.

Whether you’re in your 40s preparing for your future, or in your 60s wondering what’s next—this episode is your wake-up call. Let’s not just add years to your life, but life to your years. Start now. You can change your future one intentional decision at a time.
