EP 20 Art, Aging, and Embracing New Experiences

“I think everybody has a little secret of something they may have always wanted to do, but didn’t do, and perhaps this is the time to try it!”Meet Laurie Raskin, age 72, an extraordinary artist and designer from Los Angeles, who proves that creativity is boundless and ageless. From being one of the artists who designed an official poster for the 1984 Summer Olympic Games, to designing a carpet line that premiered at the Cube Art Fair in Brussels, to exhibiting her fine art in galleries and museums around the world, Laurie’s story is a vibrant tapestry of saying yes to life's opportunities.During our delicious conversation, Laurie and I explore so many wonderful pro-aging topics, including:•Forget Retirement—Embrace What You Love•A Book Born of Love and Fun: Help! We Can’t Stop Aging – co-authored with Laurie’s dear friend and poet Joyce King Heyraud, 84, during the COVID pandemic.•Adventures and Inspirations•Embrace New Experiences and Seek Help When You Need ItLaurie's spirited journey through art and life is a testament to the endless possibilities that exist when we stop letting age define us.Please visit https://www.helpwecantstopaging.com to purchase your copy of this fun, witty and wise book!And follow Help We Can’t Stop Aging on Instagram here. You can connect with Laurie via her website https://www.laurieraskin.com or on Instagram @laurieraskin.Laurie loves hearing from folks, so please reach out to her!If you found inspiration from this conversation, please rate, review and share this episode.I’d love to hear your thoughts, so be sure to hop on over to Don’t Be Caged By Your Age on LinkedIn or Instagram.
