    Life Lessons Pt. 1: Parents Are People Too
    2024/10/07

    Ever look back and wonder how you got here so quickly? At 67, I've been reflecting on the swift passage of time and the insights that come with it. In this episode of "Bill Monty's Guide for Getting Older," I share a personal revelation that's resonated deeply with me: understanding our parents as real people.
    Remember those youthful days when you felt invincible, and you believed that your parents were too? Age brings a shift in perspective, a more cautious mindset, and a deeper appreciation for the intricacies of life.
    Join me as I explore the lesson of seeing our parents in a new light—beyond the roles we assigned them as kids. They, too, had dreams, fears, and flaws, and recognizing this can transform our relationships with them. I open up about my personal journey and invite you to reflect on yours. Let's connect—whether it's through email or text—and share our stories as we navigate the complex, rewarding journey of aging together.
    This episode is dedicated to Howard Lurie. R.I.P., Howie, You did good.

  • Ageism, Long Covid and a Senior Moment - Episode 3

    Ageism, Long Covid and a Senior Moment - Episode 3
    2024/02/20

    Is ageism real? You betcha! We're speaking from personal experience but is the current conversation about the age of the candidates running for president an example of it?

    Long Covid is a problem for Americans of all ages, and we examine the recent Senate committee meetings to see what, if anything, is being done to aid those suffering with it.

    Living a long life can teach us many things and help us prioritize what's important and what we should let pass.

    What are the signs that you may need to seek medical advice for your loved one with signs of mental or physical decline? We'll let you know.
