🎙️ Too Young to Be Old: Customizing Your Life, Finding Purpose, and Aging with Joy

After decades as a fashion icon and survivor, Diane Gilman returns to share her philosophy on aging with intention, gratitude, and purpose. In this deeply personal solo episode, Diane explores why the years after 65 can be the happiest and most meaningful of your life-if you embrace change, seek purpose, and savor every moment.

In This Episode:

  1. The Happiest Years Are Ahead: Diane reveals clinical research showing that ages 65 to 80 can be the most joyful years-and why mindset matters more than any diet or habit.
  2. Lessons from the Blue Zones: Discover what truly sets apart people who live to 100 and beyond (hint: it’s not just what they eat, but how they think and feel about aging).
  3. Gratitude as a Game-Changer: Why embracing gratitude and viewing aging as a privilege-not a punishment-transforms your experience of growing older.
  4. A Life-Changing Diagnosis: Diane shares how surviving stage 3 breast cancer gave her a new sense of purpose and a deeper appreciation for every day.
  5. Intentional Living: The importance of planning your days, setting goals, and refusing to let aging “just happen” to you.
  6. Purpose and Passion at Any Age: How finding and acting on your purpose-even after 60, 70, or 80-can bring fulfillment and happiness.
  7. Adapting and Staying Open: Why resisting change is the real enemy of aging, and how embracing new experiences, technology, and multi-generational communities keeps you vibrant.
  8. Savoring the Small Things: From monarch butterflies to pancakes with maple syrup, Diane explains how small moments can become daily miracles.
  9. Rejecting Age Ghettos: Diane’s candid take on why she avoids age-segregated living and seeks out diverse, multi-generational communities.
  10. Legacy and Living Fully: How to work at being you, enjoy what you love, and build a legacy that matters-no matter your age.


Notable Quotes:

“You aren’t just aging. You can customize this part of your life. And you can age with purpose. And you can age with pleasure.”
“Gratitude is the number one criteria for living well as we age. Think of aging as a gift, not a punishment, but a privilege.”
“Don’t just sit back and let aging happen. Don’t allow the tsunami of aging to just wash over you and knock you down. You can deal with it.”
