Ep. 718 | It’s Not Too Late: Resurrecting Your Dreams and Protecting Your Health
Aug 10, 2026 Season 14 Episode 718
Shawn Perry

What dream did you once carry—and somewhere along the way, life caused you to put it aside?

On this episode of The Senior Zone, Shawn Perry sits down with Pastor Scot Moore, author of Resurrecting Your Dream: “Everyone Had a Dream… What Happened to Yours?”. Together, they explore how responsibilities, setbacks, grief, caregiving and simple survival can cause our dreams to become buried—and why growing older does not mean it is too late to rediscover purpose, possibility and hope.

Then, Dr. Eric Wargotz, President of MedChi, the Maryland State Medical Society, joins us for an important conversation about colorectal cancer. We discuss why screening matters, the fears and misconceptions that cause people to delay it, the screening choices that may be available and why feeling perfectly healthy does not mean screening can be ignored.

Plus, we celebrate our Birthdays of the Week, hear from Joel Simone in Dear Grave Woman and share important resources through the Later Life Lowdown.
