Text us a comment or question!In this inspiring episode, Kevin English sits down with Wayne Lehrer, author of The Art of Conscious Aging, to explore what it truly means to thrive in life’s third act. Wayne shares his transformative journey from feeling "bulletproof" in his youth to facing the undeniable realities of aging - and how this shift became the catalyst for profound personal growth. About Today’s Guest:At 73 years old, Wayne Lehrer is living an inspired Third Act, but that wasn’t true a decade ago. Having been a World’s Fair & Theme Park Designer, IMAX Filmmaker, Master Yoga & Meditation Teacher, Health Advocate, International Workshop Leader, Sculptor, and Author, it all changed at 62 when the reality of aging forced him to question everything he’d ever thought about himself - health, identity, longevity, purpose, and what “really matters” in our later years. Through 10 years of research, coaching, and soul-searching, Wayne distilled The Art of Conscious Aging, an Operating Manual for the Third Act. His work offers a road map, role models, and a vision of the extraordinary possibilities available to each of us as we become the hero of our Third Act, resurrecting as the best version of ourselves. Key Topics Discussed:·      Wayne’s personal awakening to the realities of aging and how it shaped his life’s mission·      What is conscious aging and why it matters·      The “Third Act Identity Crisis” and how to navigate it with grace·      Shifting from independence to interdependence and the value of community·      Why your best years can still be ahead of you—and how to make them count·      The importance of purpose, curiosity, and contribution in later life·      Embracing elderhood as a time of wisdom, giving back, and authentic happiness Connect with Wayne Lehrer:·      Website: https://waynelehrer.com·      Wayne Lehrer’s book: The Art of Conscious Aging - https://www.amazon.com/Art-Conscious-Aging-Happiness-Purpose/dp/2186028905/·      YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/waynelehrer·      Instagram: @lehrerwayne·      Email: [email protected]   Connect with Kevin English & The Silver Edge:- Website: https://silveredgefitness.com- Instagram: @thesilver_edge- Join the Over 50 Lean Body Blueprint Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/silveredgefitness Loved This Episode?If you enjoyed this conversation, please consider leaving a review on Apple Podcasts or your favorite podcast platform.
