Growing Older Together: Facing Fears, Embracing Resilience is a podcast about the moments that shape us.  Each episode is a short, easy-listen where we explore personal stories that reveal how our past has influenced who we are today. Have you ever wondered how your experiences have made you the person you are? Do you enjoy hearing how others have faced similar challenges? If so, this podcast is for you.

About the Podcast:

This podcast is about sharing the everyday stories that make up our lives. Every two weeks, I’ll share a piece of my life and stories from other older adults. Growing Older Together is about the laughter, the struggles, and the small moments that shape us as we move through life. With episodes under 15 minutes, it’s easy to fit into your day. While most episodes are short, I might take a bit more time when guests join me to share their stories. 

Spanish Version:

I also offer this podcast in Spanish called Madurando Juntos. You can find it on my Spanish YouTube Channel. [Listen here]

New Series | Whispers of Regret: Women Finding Peace in Silence

Launching October 31, 2024, Whispers of Regret: Women Finding Peace in Silence is a recurring series within Season Two of Growing Older Together. This series provides a safe space where women share stories they may have held inside, sometimes for years. In Whispers of Regret, each woman can open up about her journey through challenges, perseverance, and lessons she’s picked up along the way. Some guests choose to remain anonymous, while others share only their first names, finding a level of sharing that feels comfortable and natural.

Through Whispers of Regret, we hear stories of regret, hope, and renewal, along with other experiences that shape us. While some women are working through feelings of regret, others speak to find closure, healing, or simply to give voice to their past. Each story gives listeners a unique glimpse into experiences and choices that often go unspoken. For many, this series marks the first time they’ve opened up in an interview setting—a brave and meaningful step that brings authenticity to their voices..

As Brené Brown says, “Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it.” Inspired by these words, Whispers of Regret invites us to pause, listen, and find comfort in shared experiences. Every 6–8 weeks, new voices offer honest perspectives on moving forward and finding peace.

In this series, you’ll hear about the small yet powerful moments, the wisdom that comes from facing life’s bumps, and a sense of calm that emerges through it all. Together, we’re creating a community that values openness, kindness, and the strength it takes to keep growing with intention.
