Advantages To Aging Podcast Debbi-Jo Horton

I had the pleasure of chatting with Kurt Roskopf, an inspiring advocate for inclusivity and accessibility. Kurt's story is nothing short of transformative, and I guarantee it will expand your perspectives on what's possible as we age. His mission is to create a world that is more inclusive for people with disabilities, and he's done incredible work in adaptive water skiing that will leave you both amazed and inspired.
Kurt’s journey took him from being part of a traditional water ski club to revolutionizing it into a welcoming space for people with disabilities. He shares how adaptive water skiing opened up a whole new world, leading to the creation of the "Everybody Skis" program. One powerful anecdote involves taking a friend with cerebral palsy water skiing, showcasing his determination and the impact one person can make.
In this Episode:
- Challenges and triumphs of adaptive water skiing
- How inclusivity leads to unexpected and rewarding outcomes
- Stories of perseverance and community support
- Viewing obstacles as opportunities at any age
Kurt's passion is contagious, and his insights are sure to inspire you to rethink what aging and ability mean.
Kurt is a disability ally committed to shifting our world to be more inclusive, accessible, and accommodating to people with disabilities. He is the founding director of the Adaptive Division to the Wisconsin Water Ski Federation. Wisconsin with Kurt's Inclusion to Water Skiing Campaign and EveryBODY Skis Program has more than sextupled the access to the sport of water skiing for those coming through Wisconsin in 6 years. It is with this flair that Kurt is passionate about nudging the way for people with disabilities to be favored into positions on boards and other executive positions in business all over the world. Kurt touts people with disabilities as the Masters of Ability.

Listen as my guest host, Andrea Kumlin, interviewing me on the topic of aging and family caregiving. I shared my personal experience of supporting my mother through recent health challenges, emphasizing the importance of setting boundaries, providing support, and taking time for self-care. We discussed the challenges of balancing caregiving responsibilities with work obligations and highlighting the need for clear communication. I explained the significance of being supportive to my younger sister (who lives closer to mom) while navigating the complexities of elder care and addressing untreated depression. Andrea was a great host, you may remember from a few episodes ago, who can relate to everything I am currently going through due to her business Senior Sass.

Little did Andrea Kumlin, with Senior Sass, know that caring for her mom's end of life would present her next career opportunity. Once her mom has passed, she dusted herself off and thought it was over.  But then family and friends started to go to her for advice. 
Andrea had also cared for other family members in their final days. She had a wealth of knowledge to share with others and has now created a way to help others. She gave us sneak peeks of what she offers. One thing she shared was the "go bag". We usually think of this when a woman is expecting. This is a similar idea but for a different stage of life. Andrea shared what was in her go bag and why. It was very insightful and I can't wait to hear what you found most valuable. 
Meet Andy Kumlin, the founder of Senior Sass. Andy’s background of living in a multi-generational family and the experience of caring for her mother through the battle with dementia gave Andy tremendous insight into elder concerns in both the physical and financial realms.
As she has been asked by friends for advice in the care of their own family and seniors, Andy was surprised to find that Elder Care problem solutions are not well socialized or understood. She is very passionate about advocating for elders and sharing/socializing her knowledge, insights, and solutions.

And, as Andy has reached the age of “Seniorhood” herself, she wants to celebrate with other “Seniors” the wonderful older people they have become, with emphasis on the joy and beauty that lies ahead!

While nutrition is an important component of living a healthier lifestyle & dis-ease free it is part of a much bigger equation. It is in recognizing patterns of behavior that are sabotaging the very things you want most, which will allow you to step into a place personal power & the ability to consciously make better choices to live a life of incredible health & wellness.
