Sandra Butler Co-hosts On the Air with Florenza

In Leaving Home at 83, Sandra Butler invites us into one of life’s most daunting transitions: leaving the home you’ve known for fifty years and beginning again in a residential facility far from everything familiar. With wit, warmth, and unflinching honesty, she chronicles the misadventures that come with late-life reinvention—masked conversations, misbehaving hearing aids, institutional food with questionable seasoning, and the ongoing dance of reassuring her children while navigating her own vulnerability. This interview celebrates resilience, humor, aging on one’s own terms, and the radical bravery of saying, “I’m not done yet.” Join us for a conversation that will challenge assumptions, spark laughter, and honor the power of beginning again—at any age. #OnTheAirWithFlorenza #SandraButler #LeavingHomeAt83 #AgingWithHumor #QueerElderVoices #JewishElders #LateLifeReinvention #WomenWhoWrite #ElderWisdom #StartOverAtAnyAge #Intermissions #SandraButler #LeavingHomeAt83 #ElderWisdom #WomenAgingBoldly #QueerElderVoices #NewBeginnings #LifeStories #BookishFun #FlorenzaLee #FlorenzaSays #WordstoPonder #OntheAirwithFlorenza
