    Need Surgery? What Every Patient Should Know Before Saying Yes

    Your doctor says you need surgery. Now what? Do you say yes, get a second opinion, or wait? And how do you know you’re making the right decision? In this episode of Deep Diving Divas, Nancy and Elaine sit down with highly respected Cedars-Sinai general surgeon Dr. Neel Joshi to answer the questions every patient should know before saying yes to surgery.

Dr. Joshi explains what everyone should know about hernias, and shares where the future of surgery is headed. Whether surgery is in your future or someone you love is facing it now, this is the conversation you'll want to hear before entering the operating room. 🎧 Listen now—and learn how to become a more informed, confident patient.

    What if turning 90 wasn’t about slowing down… but taking off all over again?

    What does it really mean to age well — and can life still surprise you at 90? Sylvia Martin returns to Deep Diving Divas, this time with her daughter, Stacy Viva, for an inspiring mother-daughter conversation about healthy aging, independence, purpose, family, and finding joy at every stage of life. At 90, Sylvia is still exercising, hiking, driving, staying socially connected, making plans, and embracing each day with curiosity and gratitude. She once described her life as an airplane that had enjoyed an extraordinary journey and was finally coming in for a gentle landing. Then Stacy came home — and everything changed. “I feel like I’m taking off again.” Sylvia and Stacy open up about this unexpected new chapter together, what they’re learning from each other, and why staying connected, active, curious, and excited about the future can matter so much as we age. We talk about aging well, maintaining independence, the importance of friendships and family, finding purpose later in life, and why having something to look forward to can be powerful at any age. If you’re navigating life after 50, 60, 70, 80 — or beyond — Sylvia’s story is a beautiful reminder that growing older doesn’t mean your most meaningful chapters are behind you. Sometimes, when you think you’re coming in for a landing, life gives you another chance to take off. It’s never too late to dive in. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Why Anxiety Gets Worse As We Age — And What Helps

    Are you worrying more now than you did when you were younger? Many women assume anxiety should lessen with age. We have more experience, more wisdom, and often more stability. Yet many find themselves worrying about health, adult children, aging parents, finances, grandchildren, and what the future may hold. In this episode, Nancy and Elaine sit down with licensed psychologist Dr. Liz Bias to discuss why anxiety often changes as we age, why our attempts to control uncertainty can leave us feeling drained, and how we can learn to live more peacefully alongside life's inevitable unknowns. Dr. Bias shares practical tools for managing anxiety, explains why gratitude and worry can coexist, and offers a compassionate roadmap for finding calm in an uncertain world. Because peace doesn't come from knowing what happens next. It comes from believing you'll be able to handle whatever comes your way. We hope this conversation helps you breathe a little easier—and reminds you that you're not alone. ⚕️ MEDICAL DISCLAIMER The information shared in this episode is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.
