When you write your own obituary, you get to have the last word. With your Gen X independent nature, that might be right up your alley.
In this episode, Jamie Passaro, owner and writer at Dear Person Obits, talks about the four benefits of writing your own obituary.
If it's even a consideration, dip your toe in and just get started. It doesn't have to be a huge undertaking, and thoughtful processing can take months or years.
It's not necessarily easy to face our own mortality, but it is true that we're all going to die, so we might as well face it head on. And, when you write your obituary, you get to say what you want to say the way you want to say it.

On this March 8th, 2024, Happy International Women's Day! This is a day that has been celebrated around the world for 113 years. It’s about recognizing women’s achievements and raising awareness about what still needs to be done to achieve equality.
In recognition and celebration of this day, I have a special episode for you. It's with my WoW friends. They're Boomers, and I'm a Gen Xer, and they're dishing up all sorts of juicy wisdom. Get ready for a fun and deep conversation, with insights you can use right away.
In this episode with Norma Bishop, Peggy Pitz, Lauren Hofland, and Betsy Alles, we're learning about their work and personal backgrounds, when they retired and how they knew it was time, and where and with whom they choose to spend their time and energy post retirement.
 

If you're 50+, you've likely received an invitation to join AARP (formerly known as the American Association of Retired Persons).
If you're under 50, do you know you can join right now? Actually, you can become a member at 18. Who knew?
In this episode with Amber Miller, Associate State Director of Community Outreach in Wisconsin, we're talking about the benefits of being a member, issues that AARP is advocating for with legislators, topics important to Gen X that are different than Boomers, as well as how AARP is reaching our generation differently.
