April 04, 2023 05:31 - 47 minutes - 65.7 MB

This week we bring back one of our most popular podcast guests, Laura Davis, to talk about the power of writing our stories. Laura, who wrote the award-winning memoir The Burning Light of Two Stars, tells us how she writes to gain perspective and make sense of her evolving life.

What About Money is Important to You? A Conversation with Laura Rotter

March 07, 2023 02:30 - 56 minutes - 77.5 MB

We did not go into this conversation easily. Talking about money isn’t something we’re comfortable with. The question, what about money is important to you, is a hard one for us to answer. We don’t want to think about it. In fact, the culture of consumption, accumulation, marketing and money-making turns us off, provokes waves of nausea. And even brings up shame. But this conversation was different. Laura Rotter brought a plot twist. It was pleasant, open, hopeful and even spiritual. Take ...

What Matters?

January 24, 2023 02:12 - 24 minutes - 33.2 MB

Hannah and Cecilia sat down to chat recently, and found the conversation moving in an unexpected direction. We started asking, what matters now at this stage in our lives? Up until recently, our lives have been driven by external markers, jobs, degrees, partners and successes. But now there seems to be some buried impulse, more internal, emerging and wanting to take the lead. Listen to this week’s podcast as we try to figure out how to listen to ourselves in different ways and forage new pat...

Rest and Digest

December 13, 2022 14:16 - 28 minutes - 39.6 MB

Sleep is not a dead space, but a doorway to a different kind of consciousness – one that is reflective and restorative, full of tangential thought and unexpected insights. In winter, we are invited into a particular mode of sleep: not a regimented eight hours, but a slow, ambulatory process in which waking thoughts merge with dreams, and space is made in the blackest hours to repair the fragmented narratives of our days.  - Katherine May from Wintering   It’s here, the pull for the lon...

Life Story Work with Dr. Shoshi Keisari

November 15, 2022 03:28 - 49 minutes - 68.3 MB

We all tell stories about our lives, some we make up, and some we inherit.  Through stories, we figure out who we are, where we’ve been, and where we’re headed. Stories grow as we grow. Our stories about ourselves as individuals and as a collective, are not static things that once set, never evolve. In fact, most of us encounter crossroads or thresholds of change where the past, present and the future become unclear. It is during these transitional times that our past stories must be...

Intergenerational Living

November 01, 2022 02:07 - 38 minutes - 52.7 MB

This week Twisting the Plot Podcast offers Part II of our conversation with the GenZer, Fran Dintino.  In many ways, this conversation is just getting started.  There is so much to explore, so many diverse lenses through which to look at one’s life experience. Intergenerational conversations lead to intergenerational living that is rich and expanding. We stand on the backs of each other, one generation to the next, forever connected, always in flux. Our shared narratives twist over and...

OK BOOMER/OMG GEN Z

October 18, 2022 02:33 - 43 minutes - 59.3 MB

We are years and years apart.  There are decades between us, the Boomers and the Gen Zer’s. Our world views are different. Our narratives do not line up.  Can we get along?  Are we able to listen to each other? We use different language,  we have varied values,  we embody diverse identities. We look different, think different and feel different. Is it possible to understand each other? We’re not sure. But we’ll try. On this weeks’ podcast we talk with 21-year-old Fran Dintino...

As the Spirit Twists

October 04, 2022 00:56 - 22 minutes - 30.7 MB

We often talk about how our minds and bodies are changing as we age. But what about our spirit? Does that evolve too? And what do we mean when we speak about the spirit? To us, spirit means that which is felt but not seen. Perspective, inner voice, energetic connection with others, gratitude, love and a mindful appreciation for the complexity of life, is what we call – spirit. To us, this experience of spirit seems to be growing as we age. We are not alone.  Erik Erikson and his wife...

Evolving… Again

September 20, 2022 03:03 - 31 minutes - 42.9 MB

Well, here we are. Another Fall.  Another starting over.  Whether it’s school, work, or perspective, we (Hannah and Cecilia) find that as the seasons change, so do we. It’s supposed to be that way, right?  Nothing stays the same.  Yet, as we change, we also preserve the multitudes of who we’ve been in the past. It’s quite the collection. So many years, so many selves. Writer Anne Lamotte says, “We contain all the ages we have ever been.”   We are like living nesting dolls. Each doll ...

Summer Replay - Elderhood, Part II with Tracey Gendron, PhD

September 06, 2022 00:32 - 27 minutes - 37.6 MB

We talk about the history of caregiving, giving and getting it, and discuss how to give care more value and importance....

Summer Replay - Ageism Unmasked, a conversation with Tracey Gendron, PhD

August 23, 2022 01:05 - 56 minutes - 77.6 MB

Here’s a twist for you. We are getting tired of promoting “successful aging” and no longer want to buy into the social construct that defines aging and being old as a problem to avoid.  We don’t know about you, but we are getting old… and loving it. But not because we are staying young, or not facing losses. We love it not despite of the challenges, but because of them. We love it because we are growing and changing. We love it because there is an opportunity to create yet another purpos...

Sumer Replay - Time Twisting

August 09, 2022 13:50 - 25 minutes - 34.5 MB

It often feels like time is a conveyer belt, ushering us forward year after year. It moves faster and faster, sometimes at a pace that makes it hard to glance back and savor what’s been. Sometimes a lifetime moves too quickly for us to be intentional about where we are going.  We just keep moving. On this week’s Twisting the Plot Podcast, Hannah and Cecilia take a pause and consider time from a different direction, vertically instead of horizontally. In this way, time becomes more than a...

Summer Replay - What Do You Spin About? Advice from the Anxiety Sisters

July 26, 2022 02:21 - 57 minutes - 78.7 MB

Abbe Greenberg and Maggie Sarachek have been friends since college. Throughout this time, they shared many things, even anxiety. For years they supported each other, through phobias, panic attacks and catastrophizing mindsets. As time went on, it became clear that they weren’t alone. In fact, they found that many women wanted to talk about anxiety, its perils, nuances, and the many ways to cope. So they decided to start a sisterhood, an anxiety sisterhood.  In 2017 they launched their onli...

It chronicles the estrangement, reconciliation and care-giving relationship between Laura and her mother. And it is about so much more.   The Burning Light of Two Stars is plot twist after plo...

Consider the Hag, with Marianne Franzese

June 28, 2022 02:39 - 53 minutes - 73 MB

Consider the Hag. Will You? Most of us cringe at the mention of her.  We would just as soon keep her banished to the deep woods.  Who can blame us?   She is rot, she is ugly, she does not follow our rules. She has one foot on the other side; death. The Hag embodies suffering, a weathering by life; she stands for oldness. She is not who we want to become. But…Marianne Franzese sees things differently.   She challenges us to re-consider.  Marianne suggests that we could go de...

The Nourishing Path, with Nadya Trytan

May 17, 2022 01:31 - 52 minutes - 72.2 MB

Her online program, Nourishing Path Project, offers imaginary paths for us to learn and grow by. On th...

Me and Margaret Fuller, a conversation with Maria Dintino

April 26, 2022 02:29 - 57 minutes - 79.6 MB

Sitting myself down and writing Margaret from the heart became a story about me too. Why me? Leave me out of this, I thought. But no, it was not to be. I was not allowed to write her story without writing my own because I had unburied two women.  - From The Light Above by Maria Dintino Even though she discovered a dog-eared, post-it-filled copy of Women in the Nineteenth Century on her bookshelf, Maria Dintino hadn’t remembered much about Margaret Fuller from graduate school. She was certa...

Artful Contemplation, with Dr. Maureen Carey

March 29, 2022 02:30 - 1 hour - 85.3 MB

In her early twenties, Maureen Carey was called to the religious life. Her interest in the anti-war movement and civil disobedience led her to the sisterhood and years of service to others. During this time she also got her Ph.D. in social work, taught at Molloy College, and co-authored books. Twenty-five years later, Dr. Carey twisted her plot and left the religious life. More recently, she retired from teaching. She’s had a new calling, art as a means for spiritual contemplation. Maure...

For All You Heartbroken Artists, a Conversation with Nina Hart

March 15, 2022 00:39 - 53 minutes - 73.6 MB

A little improv… What is creativity?  Go.  (frozen pause) Ummm. It’s green? Yes, and…It crawls. Yes, and… it morphs like a caterpillar into a butterfly. Yes, and… it can be venomous, like a snake. On this week’s podcast, guest Nina Hart challenges our notions about what is art and who gets to do it. She tells us about her journey to heal what she calls her “heartbroken artist.” Nina shares how she finally freed herself from criticism, judgment and creative blocks that silenced and shamed...

Replay - Creatrix Rising, a conversation with Stephanie Raffelock

January 04, 2022 03:00 - 42 minutes - 57.8 MB

What is a creatrix, you might ask? According to Stephanie Raffelock the word creatrix is defined as “a woman who makes or creates things.” Stephanie suggests that creatrix may be a good replacement for crone when it comes to selecting an archetype for women to age into. We love the idea of a woman continuing to “make things” beyond the biological clock of fertility. Stephanie Raffelock herself is a creatrix. She is a storyteller and writer who published two books after she was 50. Crea...

December 21, 2021 03:00 - 1 hour - 95.2 MB

Who knew getting older could be so funny? In the 1960’s gerontologist Robert Butler told us that thinking back over our lives is therapeutic. He termed his method of reminiscence, “Life Review”. Through a life review, experiences from the past, particularly the unresolved conflicts, can be resolved and reintegrated into our life experience. There is also substantial research pointing to the benefits of humor. Humor has been found to lower blood pressure, increase pain threshold, and impr...

Kwavi Agbeyegbe has a mission.   She wants to make women over 50 aware of their potential and value.   As a life coach, she started by asking 50 women who were over 50, from all over the world, to describe themselves.  Over 80% of the women she talked to reported feeling invisible.  The women don’t see themselves represented in the media.

Twelve in Twelve: An Artful Process

November 16, 2021 03:00 - 54 minutes - 75.4 MB

We are so often bombarded with negative messages about aging that it makes us not want to do it.  We don’t want to get older.  But what if aging could be a process that’s creative, intuitive and deepening?  What if getting older was a creative act?

So this week on our Twisting the Plot Podcast we talk with Julie Lythcott-Haims, who wrote Your Turn: How To Be An Adult. A former c...
