Description

What makes relationships so vital as we age? Join Merry Elkins and Cathy Worthington for an intimate chat about the evolving dynamics of relationships in later years. We dive into why these connections are more than just social—they're lifelines that boost health, resilience, and life satisfaction. Drawing insights from the Harvard study of adult development, we uncover how nurturing warm relationships can stave off cognitive decline and combat loneliness.

We share personal stories—like Cathy's walking group and Merry's writing circle—that illustrate the power of community. Together, we explore practical ways to foster connections, from rekindling old friendships to embracing new, intergenerational bonds. Plus, we delve into the nuances of romance later in life, offering tips on setting expectations and embracing vulnerability.

Join us as we champion creativity, courage, and intentionality in relationships. Subscribe to Late Boomers and let's enrich our lives together!
