Are Baby Boomers really trying to make Millennials feel bad about themselves? Some Millenial TikTok'rs, bloggers and YouTubers say YES! Boomers have no empathy towards us. "They don't understand what we're going through."

I have some thoughts on this. Hit PLAY and we'll talk.

Heard in This Episode:

Canadian Kindness

Empathy and Isolation

Do you ever find yourself just channel surfing looking for something on tv? Whether you have cable, or you stream (like me) watching apps most of the time it seems like you always end up saying, "There's nothing to watch".

Hang in there, True Believers cause help is on the way.

In this episode, I discuss three shows and one movie that I find funny, engaging, touching and just the right amount of old-fashioned (this doesn't mean boring) entertainment that resonates with discerning, mature audiences.

These shows, and film, have topics that include:

* Positive portrayals of aging

* Reinvention and legacy

* Relationships in life

* Grief, healing, and second chances

And I'll even let you know what professional critics and audiences are saying

Sit back, hit that PLAY button and say it together, LIGHTS! CAMERA! ACTION!

In the 12 Steps, or Traditions, of AA, Steps 8 and 9 stand out as the vital actions to help heal old wounds, but admitting that our words and eeds from long ago might need addressing today can be difficult.

Let's talk about how it can be accomplished and what life looks like afterwards.

In a continuation of The 12 Steps series, I examine the concept, derived from the 12 traditions of AA, of conducting a moral inventory in order to create a more truthful version of ourselves...for us.

It can be hard to to admit the wrongs we have done to others, but it can even more difficult to admit the wrongs that we have done to ourselves. Conducting a moral inventory just may the way for you to do that and begin living a more forving, peaceful life.

NOTE: I am not a doctor or a therapist. This concept of using The 12 Steps to enrich our lives is my personal belief based on my experience and research. If you believe that you may have an addiction, emotional or mental health issue, PLEASE consult your physician or a professional.

Have you ever felt like your life was unmanageable?

We're supposed to be wiser as we get older but even at our age, we're making the same mistakes, and we have the same problems we've had throughout our lives.

I might have an answer for you, and it can be found, believe it or not, in The 12 Steps used in programs like Alcoholics Anonymous. Simply put, if we apply these same ideals to our daily lives, even if we're not struggling with addiction, it is my belief that we can overcome some of the things that plague us in life.

In this episode, we ask the question, "Could it be me?".

In this episode, Bill Monty explores the concept from Alcoholics Anonymous of developing a “God of your understanding.” Rather than prescribing a specific religious belief, this idea invites individuals to form their own spiritual understanding of a higher power.

Bill discusses how this concept can help people—especially as they age—develop serenity, humility, and compassion, while letting go of the need to control everything in life. The episode examines how spirituality, regardless of religious affiliation, can bring inner peace, purpose, and a stronger desire to help others. The conversation also looks at why people often think more deeply about spirituality and the afterlife later in life, and how embracing a personal understanding of a higher power can lead to greater acceptance and happiness. Listeners of all ages will find insights into living a calmer, more meaningful life.

Growing older brings challenges. Bodies slow down. Tasks become harder. But with age also comes wisdom, clarity, and a deeper appreciation for the small, beautiful moments that make life meaningful.

In this episode, Bill Monty talks about the lessons that come with age: why sunsets suddenly feel more meaningful, why the laughter of a child can stop you in your tracks, and why—after a lifetime of compromise—you finally realize you don’t have to make everyone happy anymore.

This episode is a reminder to live fully, appreciate the present, and embrace the perspective that only time can teach.

If you're navigating aging, supporting an older loved one, or simply thinking about the passage of time, this episode will resonate deeply.
