Dr Mara Karpel & Your Golden Years Dr Mara Karpel Your Golden Years

Happy Mother's Day!!

 

We'll be joined by Alistair Hawkes, Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Clarity Breathwork specialist.  Alistair specializes in helping therapists prevent burnout. She will talk about what she learned from the experts presenters for preventing burnout and increasing self-care at her recent on-line Summit for therapists, caregivers, and others in the service professions.  And she'll let us know about her upcoming Free Masterclass, and her 12-session burnout recovery program that is beginning Wednesday 5/17. 

 

And for Mother's Day, Dr. Mara will talk about a few more of the lessons she learned from her mom, from her social media series "Lessons from Mom."

We're back with another live show and we'll be joined from Big Sur, California by Monica Eastway, Eco Gerontologist - Founder, The Eco Generation Model. Monica is an environmental gerontologist and she’ll talk about use of nature to enhance the quality of life for people of all ages. 

(Lesson #7 of Lessons from Mom:  Get outside every day, even if it’s just for a few minutes bundled up on cold days, or get to a window where you can see the nature outdoors. I believe that this is what gave her the resilience to get through all of her ups and downs that come with growing older.)

We’ll be joined from right here in Austin by Marcela Cabay, of Ria Health, which uses an evidence-based approach to addiction that is vastly different from the 12-step programs.

And Dr. Mara with more on living a passionate life through the obstacles of life.

After this interview you may never look at water the same as before.

Michael Mascha, founder of FineWaters.com, and aficionado on waters from around the world, will join us to discuss WATER....from glass bottled to plastic bottled, international waters to American waters, purified vs. natural sources.  He has been on or program before, but with all that is happening in the world to put our water at risks, such as droughts and more, Michael will give us more insight into the world of H2O. 

Also we'll hear from our favorite twins, Ruben and Minerva from Mexico.

And Dr. Mara on the journey of living a passionate life!  This time, what about all the critics???

Geriatrician, Dr. Michael Wasserman,  Chair of the Public Policy Committee of the California Association of Long Term Care Medicine, returns to the program!  He is an author and editor of numerous books, a speaker, and a tireless advocate for improving healthcare for older adults, as well as improving care received in nursing homes.  He will join us to continue our discussion of some of the pressing current issues of geriatric healthcare and nursing home care.  

Also, Rosie Davis, founder of the international organization, Yellow Heart Memorial, advocate for COVID victims, and co-author of the book, Who We Lost: A Portable Covid Memorial, will return to join us once again from Austin, TX.  Rosie will tell us about More Than A Number,  a traveling memorial, honoring those lost due to Covid.

This week, we're joined by Marsha Joiner, host of the Blog Talk Radio show, Betrayed by Hospice, and former Board Member of the Hospice Patients Alliance.  Marsha joins us to discuss how hospice went from being a way for people who are actively dying to die with minimum pain and with dignity to a profit-making business, causing people who are not necessarily in that category are convinced to enter into their care and where patients are often given one-size fits all drugs.   Marsha lost her own precious Mom by trusting hospice, where she was told they would do no harm but the worst harm imaginable killed her Mom.  This experience led her to advocate for the elderly and made it her focus to warn others about the danger of trusting without verifying. In addition, to her podcast, Marsha has a facebook group, Murdered by Hospice, that gives victims' families a safe place to share their tragedies and ask questions.  Marsha's goal is to inform the public, so that more informed decisions can be made without falling pray to manipulation.
