I think you could probably go back and track the stages of grief, probably that is what I went through. But I think if you do it right, you end up at acceptance. And that's where I ended up. And that's not to say that I've fully accepted the idea that the golden toad is extinct. Personally, I do still hold out hope that it could still be out there in those forests." - Trevor Ritland This conversation is with Trevor Ritland, who—along with his twin brother Kyle—authored The Golden Toad . The book chronicles their remarkable journey into Costa Rica’s cloud forest, once home to hundreds of brilliant golden toads that would emerge for just a few weeks each year—until, one day, they vanished without a trace. What began as a search for a lost species soon became something much more profound: a confrontation with ecological grief, a meditation on hope, and a powerful call to protect the natural world while we still can.

It's Up To Us, A Spoken Word Poem 12:40

12:40

For those of you who are Loving Later Life regulars, you know that I began this podcast to connect us all so that we feel heard, seen, inspired and also entertained. My hope is that you'll be inspired by my guests and perhaps even through my experiences that it is not ever too late to go for what you want in this precious life we have been gifted. There are also times when I am compelled to express a point of view that I am passionate about. This is one of those times, and the way it manifested was in a spoken word poem. Some of you may have seen my YouTube video of this already and if you haven’t, after you listen to this episode, I invite you to go watch the video. The link is in the show notes page for this episode, if you go to nancylanggibbs.com, click on the arrow next to podcast in the top bar and then click on Show Notes. Then click on this episode entitled It’s Up To Us and scroll down for the link. Or you can go to YouTube and search Nancy Lang Gibbs, It’s Up To Us. (Or below if you're reading this on the Show Notes page!) I ask if perhaps you are not on the same page as I am, that you listen anyway to open the aperture of your lens. For those who are on the same page, please forward the link to others and ask them to do the same. The message, I believe, is so very important to share. Thank you for listening and until the next time, Live Passionately, Live Vulnerably and Keep Loving Later Life. YouTube Video Link: https://youtu.be/vLdDCUKrRc0?si=PlC9V3Em1_658kU3…

Do You Think Worrying Will Prevent Bad Things from Happening? 12:51

5 weeks тому12:51

12:51

What a time it is in our lives right now. What a crazy ass f-ing time. I told a friend that if all of what is occurring in our country and in our world were the plot of a movie, we’d all be saying thank goodness this couldn’t actually happen, that’s so unrealistic! And, I’m going to take a wild guess and say that you are out there worrying about something. Am I right? I mean heaven knows there are a lot of things to be worried about right now. Like real things. Then there's the type of worrying about things that have not yet happened. And for frosting on the worry cake, add the thought process that if you worry it will prevent something bad from happening. I’ve earned a master’s degree in this kind of worrying, from thousands of hours of life-long learning. And I thought I was unique in this special brand of fear and worrying, until I found out that I wasn't. How? Join me as I share my biggest worry, the big A Ha I had about it, and what I'm now doing to stop it!…

Welcome to a unique episode of Loving Later Life! While I was thinking about what to do for this episode, I wanted to do something with humor for some levity, which I attempt to do! But first, I decided to share a comment with you that I received from a listener, which ironically caused second thoughts about striving for a more humorous episode. It will all make sense once you listen! So, I guess it’s also an episode about vulnerability...sharing the comment and hoping you’ll enjoy my humor!… See you there!…

On the 100th episode of Loving Later Life, I say F-You! 13:22

17 weeks тому13:22

13:22

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the 100th episode of Loving Later Life! This is a first because for this, the 100th episode, I was not prepared at all. It was when talking to a friend who had recently been discovering some of my old writings online that the light bulb sizzled on. As I was describing how I was feeling about this episode, they said to me, “F-you!” And I looked at them and said, “What now?” And they said, “You know, like you wrote in your article!” I really wasn’t sure what they were referring to until I did an investigative search into my archives, and there it was. There was what was meant to be my message for myself and for you, for this 100th episode of Loving Later Life. As always, I hope you will listen and share with anyone who needs to hear it. I also want to take this moment to thank you for continuing to invite me into your car, your ears, and your bathroom as you’re getting ready for the day. I am truly honored.…

The other night I thought I heard something on T.V. and what I heard wasn’t at all what they had said. It showed me what my brain was tuning into and what it was looking for and I had to share it with you. I believe that if we share our experiences with one another, it helps us to stay connected and feel less alone. That’s all I’ll say here, except for please listen and share!…

Sheridan Ruth: Performance Coach and Nervous System Specialist 46:06

21 weeks тому46:06

46:06

Welcome back to Loving Later life, episode 98! I want to start by saying thank you to those of you who receive my emails every other week and responded to my question wondering if you are receiving them consistently. Annd, I am truly touched by your comments affirming that the podcast and the emails are resonating and that they are providing value to you. We know that it’s best not to rely on external validation, and it sure is yummy icing on the cake to hear it! So, thank you and if you would please consider going to where you get your podcasts and leave a review. OK! Our special guest today joins us from the other side of the world. Her name is Sheridan Ruth and she is a Performance Coach and Nervous System Specialist. From being stripped of every strand of hair on her body to losing her ex to suicide 3 weeks after breaking up, Sheridan was forced to use trauma-healing to sustainably build her business. While there are a lot of 'trauma-informed' and 'body-based practitioner' coaches in the industry, none of them do it by merging body-based tools, the nervous system AND business strategy. Sheridan helps entrepreneurs combine the nervous system with business strategy to increase profit and decrease anxiety - even when traditional methods haven’t worked. And I can say that you don’t have to be an entrepreneur to benefit greatly from her wisdom and experience in how to regulate your nervous system so that you can find relief from anxiety and fear, and live a fulfilling life.

How a Call with AT&T Led to Fear, an Epiphany and then Anxiety 12:43

I’ve been feeling a bit meh to be honest. Lack of energy, mentally and physically off and feeling like I wasn’t going to have anything worthwhile to share with you. Yes, part of that is my inner critic popping off in judgement, annnd, I was at a bit of a loss. Then I had two different conversations with two very close friends, and I thought, ya know, I need to share what came up for me in these conversations because perhaps I’m not alone. This episode, like many of my solo shows, is me sharing my thoughts, challenges, revelations, in hopes that it may help, since as I’ve said before, that which is personal is so often universal. I hope to see you there.…
