EP 96 Karen Salmansohn on Aging, Mortality and Creating a“To-Die-For” Life

What if thinking about the end of your life… could actually help you live more fully right now?In this powerful and uplifting conversation, I sit down with bestselling author Karen Salmansohn to explore how embracing aging - and even mortality - can become a catalyst for living with greater intention, courage, and joy.Karen shares the inspiration behind her bold new book, Your To-Die-For Life, and introduces us to the idea of Mortality Awareness - a mindset shift that helps you stop postponing what matters most.We also dive into her viral concept of connecting with your 90-year-old self (yes… Karen's 90-year-old self included fabulous red sneakers), and how that perspective can radically change the way you approach your life today.Karen beautifully reminds us: thinking about the end of our life isn’t about fear - it’s about focus. It’s about clarity. It’s about choosing to live more intentionally while we still have the gift of time.To learn more about Karen, tap here.

Here are two products I use and genuinely recommend:🚶‍♀️ Favorite Walking Pad – I use it almost every day while watching my favorite shows. It's quiet, easy to store, and makes getting more steps simple and enjoyable.🥤 Favorite Protein Powder – Getting enough protein becomes even more important as we age. This is my go-to because it's easy to digest, delivers 25g of protein per serving, and supports healthy muscles and bones.Waving from Boston – cheers!Ande ♥CONNECT with me online - I'd love to learn how you're shattering ageism!https://www.linkedin.com/in/andelyons/ https://www.instagram.com/dontbecagedbyyourageSPONSORSHIPIf you resonate with the show’s mission of shattering ageism and age-related expectations so folks can thrive after 65, please reach out to me to learn more about making an impact throug...
