In this episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast, we talk with Ellie Laks about lessons you can learn from a cow (and chicken) and Cow Hug Therapy.

That led us into exploring the intuition children have and how that changes into adulthood. We explored the state of the world’s ecosystem and what we can do to make this world healthier for future generations.  Ellie Laks is the Founder of The Gentle Barn Foundation, a national organization that rescues and rehabilitates unwanted animals and heals people with the same stories of abuse and neglect.

In this episode of the Plant Trainers Podcast, we share stories of inspiration in a time where we think many of us need to be inspired. Inspiration can be found in all different shapes and sizes. Sometimes we realize that we are being inspired and sometimes we only notice that it occurred when looking back. The best kind of inspiration is one that is completely unexpected. We have all had our turns to inspire and be inspired. Many of us touch the lives of others in a meaningful way on a daily basis. We don’t always get thanked, but if our intention is to create positive energy and help other people we will always get something back whether we realize it or not. If everyone is continuously inspiring and paying it forward, quality of life will begin to improve. We share three stories that are like colourful threads in the fabric of life.

If you remember, we interviewed my centenarian grandmother, or Bubbie, 8 years ago about her life. Sadly, we lost her in living form last week. She made it as a centenarian to 101-Ish, which was quite an accomplishment. She still had such a sharp mind and was completely independent. Bubbie never wanted to be a burden to anyone. She even walked to the mall to buy yogurt on Thursday almost 12 hours before her last breath. So…101-ISH…what’s that about? She had 3 birthdays. She was never sure the exact date that she was born, all she knew is that she was born somewhere between Passover and Shavuot (birthday 1). December 22 is the date that her father finally made it into the city to register her. This is the birthday that we celebrate. And when she arrived in Canada, the government gave her the birthday of February 2. So according to her first two birthdays she’s 101 according to what the family celebrates she is 101-ish. Or if you really like math she’s 302.  She was born in Poland in 1922, came to Canada by boat in 1935 and lost her husband 1975 and has been on her own, building an empire without any boyfriend or new husband since then.  We’d like to commemorate her by sharing 15 lessons I learned from her that although may not seem directly about health, can be and are definitely conducive to a better quality of life.  In this episode we discuss:  Centenarian lessons for a strong body Centenarian lessons for a positive mind  Lessons for a sharp mind Centenarian lessons for a wealthy life  Centenarian lessons for fashion Lessons for youthful skin Centenarian lessons for a good long life Links to things we mentioned: Sign up for our newsletter –  Longevity with 93 Year-Old Irene -
