Relax, I Got This! Podcast -- Embracing Life After 60
Embracing Life After 60 is a podcast for seniors, adult children, and families navigating the realities of this next chapter. Each episode covers the things that matter most as we age—downsizing, decluttering, aging in place, staying safe, and making thoughtful life transitions with less stress.
You’ll also find conversations about living life to the fullest. We talk about travel, friendships, wellness, purpose, staying active, building new connections, and keeping joy at the center of everyday life. Because aging isn’t just about what’s changing; it’s about what’s still possible.
Guests include Senior Home Advisors, Realtors, longevity specialists, life coaches, and other trusted experts who understand both the emotional and practical sides of growing older. We discuss real decisions families face every day: preparing a home for the future, supporting aging parents, maintaining independence, avoiding scams, and creating a life that feels exciting and meaningful.
Whether you’re planning ahead for yourself or helping someone you love, you’ll find tips, real stories, and clear guidance designed to bring confidence, comfort, and a renewed sense of possibility. Tune in and learn how to move forward with clarity, humor, and the freedom to enjoy this chapter to its fullest.
