    Episode 9: The Grief Train: Lessons in Grief, Gratitude & Love

    You never know when the Grief Train may stop at your station. When it does, author Marinda Freeman believes the answer isn't to avoid grief, but to honor it, learn from it, and eventually discover the gratitude and love that remain. In this heartfelt conversation, Marinda shares the story behind her book "The Grief Train" and the sudden loss of her husband that inspired it. Together, Judy, Jess, and Marinda explore grief, aging, friendship, remembrance, and the idea that all of life is an event worth acknowledging with intention, appreciation, and love. Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode: 🚂 Grief doesn't follow a timeline 🕯️ How rituals and personal altars can help healing 💭 The importance of feeling grief instead of avoiding it 👥 The role of community and human connection during loss 🌱 Why aging itself can sometimes create feelings of grief ✨ Learning to celebrate life while honoring loss Episode Links: Marinda Freeman Event Consulting: https://marindafreeman.com/ Get your copy of The Grief Train: https://www.amazon.com/Grief-Train-Healing-Journey-Renewal/dp/1684335361 Get your copy of Everything is an Event: https://bit.ly/4ednOLY Where To Find Us: Website: https://www.notreadyforthefarm.com/ Follow on Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@notreadyforthefarm Follow on Facebook: https://bit.ly/4vnIasT Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/notreadyforthefarm_ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Episode 8: No Time To Sit Down… Get On Out There!

    What if one of the biggest secrets to aging well isn't found in a supplement, exercise program, or medical breakthrough? What if it's simply… staying engaged? In this episode, Judy introduces two groups of remarkable people who are proving that growing older doesn't mean slowing down. First, you'll meet members of the Orange County Lockdown Band, musicians who found friendship, purpose, and creative expression through music. Then you'll hear from participants in the Chatham County Senior Games, where competition, community, and personal growth continue well beyond retirement age. Their stories offer a powerful reminder that meaningful connections, lifelong learning, and a willingness to try new things can make the years ahead some of the most rewarding of our lives. Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode: 🎸 Music & Purpose: Finding community through creativity 🎤 Orange County Lockdown Band: Passion that spans generations 🤝 Cross-Generational Friendships: Learning from one another 🏅 Senior Games: Competition, connection, and confidence 🌱 Staying Engaged: Refusing to sit on the sidelines ❤️ Meaningful Aging: Building a life filled with purpose Episode Links: Orange County Lockdown Band: https://orangecountylockdown.com/ Chatham County Senior Games: https://www.ncseniorgames.org/chatham Pittsboro Center for Active Living: https://www.chathamartscouncil.org/venue/pittsboro-center-for-active-living/ Where To Find Us: Website: https://www.notreadyforthefarm.com/ Follow on Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@notreadyforthefarm Follow on Facebook: https://bit.ly/4vnIasT Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/notreadyforthefarm_ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    STOP ELDER SCAMS WITH AARP'S AMY NOFZIGER

    Scammers are getting smarter and increasingly targeting older adults — but you can stay one step ahead. In this episode, we sit down with Amy Nofziger from the AARP Fraud Watch Network, who brings 20+ years of experience helping victims and tracking emerging scams. She breaks down the most common schemes hitting seniors today, how criminals use emotional manipulation (and even AI-generated voices!), and how you can spot a scam before it happens. You’ll also learn exactly what to do if you or a loved one falls victim, plus the free resources available to help protect your family. This is an essential conversation to share with anyone at risk.

    EPISODE 1: DEATHBED INSIGHTS TO TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE

    Our guest this week is palliative care physician Dr. Kathy Zhang — a woman who has witnessed more “departures” than LaGuardia. After Covid burnout and years of hearing countless deathbed regrets, she now advises others on how to live life to the fullest, including three questions you must ask yourself before you kick the bucket. THE FARM CAN WAIT Not Ready for the Farm navigates our universal journey of aging — consciously, realistically, and with a great attitude. Through candid conversations with professionals, authors, and everyday people, Judy Miller and her sidekick, Jess Anderson, with humor and compassion, deep dive into the issues we confront as we grow older. No holds barred as we explore money, relationships, living life to the fullest, family dynamics, finding our purpose, third acts, retirement, health and health care, longevity, activities, travel, community, loneliness, quality of life and dying. Often painfully honest. Empowering and inspirational. With laughter and tears. How do we make every moment count? What’s your journey? What’s your plan? JUDY MILLER HOST, WRITER, PRODUCER, CREATOR Judy has had many lives, Lawyer, Entertainment Producer, Real Estate Developer, College Instructor, Inventor, Strategic Business Consultant, Corporate CEO, and now Podcast Host. She's curious, irreverent and incapable of slowing down. When her doctor at Duke said, "Judy, I'll be with you til the end" — a startled Judy said, “What end? What do you know that I don’t? There’s no end!” That jarring little moment was an awakening. She hadn't ever thought about retirement, where she'd live if she couldn't live alone, or dying — none of it… and that she was actually now a senior! That wake-up call became the inspiration for Not Ready for the Farm — a Podcast to intimately share insights, as we learn together navigating Judy's personal journey of aging...a journey we're all on.
