In this Aging GreatFULLy power-hour as we bid farewell to fall and welcome the coming season of winter, we put the spotlight on celebrating transitions! Join this enriching hour as we welcome special guest, Cheryl Richardson, a New York Times bestselling author and self-care expert whose latest work is an audio release, Self-Care for the Wisdom Years: Practical Ways to Celebrate the Mystery and Wonder of Aging. During the hustle and bustle of this season and as the year comes to a close, this is a timely conversation. Cheryl shares how self-care is the key to a rich and joyous experience of aging and invites listeners to find inspiration in the changes and challenges of aging – and create a more authentic, soul-directed life.
Cheryl’s work has been covered on Good Morning America, the Today Show, CBS This Morning and many more. She was the team leader for the Lifestyle Makeover Series on The Oprah Winfrey Show and joined Ms. Winfrey on the “Live Your Best Life” nationwide tour. Her books include Take Time for Your Life, The Art of Extreme Self-Care, How to Survive the Loss of a Pet, The Unmistakable Touch of Grace, Life Makeover and several others. Her latest book is Waking Up in Winter: In Search of What Really Matters at Midlife.
But she was inspired to transition from pen to microphone with her latest audio creation. Cheryl’s wisdom is rich with inspiring practices to honor the experiences of growing older while finding meaningful ways to get the most out of life. She invites her readers and listeners to look at aging through the lens of what is gained verses what is lost. She heeds the importance of finding the freedom to cultivate deeper, more meaningful experiences of life. “The journey through mid-life and beyond,” says Cheryl Richardson, “is when we make the shift from less ego to more soul.”
Through six audio sessions, Cheryl offers teachings, tools, journaling exercises, and guided practices towards discovering the opportunities and gifts of our later years. She discusses energy drains and ways to become more aware of and efficient about our vitality, the importance of investing in authentic connections, how to awaken aliveness and she uncovers her most valuable insights towards aging consciously, to flourish as a wise and compassionate elder. Listeners will so appreciate the invitation to rejoice in the beauty of aging by cultivating presence, pushing comfort zones, practicing meditation and even building the skill of sitting with space.
