When you think of senior women living life to the fullest, you might not imagine 107 women between the ages of 50 and 80 jumping out of a plane and skydiving. For Jean Ketcham, this fits perfectly into her international movement Aging but Dangerous® – and this event actually helped kick it off! Aging but Dangerous aims to inspire women 50 and older to control their destinies and make their dreams come true. It has gained buzz, with thousands of newsletter subscribers and features in TIME Magazine, NBC news and more. Jean explains to Senior Services Expert Lori Williams about how this movement was born from a need for women to abandon self-limiting mindsets as they age - and how it has blossomed into fashion shows, annual skydiving events, colonoscopy parties(!), virtual happy hours and a sense of community connecting women from all over. Topics discussed:- Staying positive as you age- Senior women social group- Living life with attitude- Getting outside your comfort zone- Virtual events for senior women- Eliminating fear around aging- Senior women empowerment Takeaways from this episode:- Aging but Dangerous was created as an environment for women to open up, communicate and experience the “senior” phase of life together - by experiencing life head-on. - If you have a positive attitude about life and “make your own sunshine,” so much good can come from it, and there will always be something worth celebrating. - It’s important for women to share their feelings and experiences during the aging process since they’ll all go through it. - If your life isn’t going the way you’d like, change it. You have the power and are the only one who can. This is true for any age and it’s never too late. - Take care of yourself because nobody else is going to do it for you. - Don’t put yourself in a box because of your age. Be proud of what you’ve experienced and continue to create the life you want. It’s a gift. Resources mentioned on this episode:014.
