| 4/30/26 | The Stuff of Life is Time | This week, Trudy is joined by her friend Jane Bisbee to continue a conversation which began in 2024 with episode 12, Stuff of Life — Part 2. Jane returns to CroneCast to reflect on how her relationship to things has changed, the value of time and how a crone’s experience of both time and objects shifts throughout this third trimester of life.

| 4/16/26 | Rerelease: Hope: What’s the Best That Can Happen? | This week, while Lisa is healing and Trudy says goodbye to a beloved pet, we thought it was a good time to re-release this December 2024 episode with Dr. Denise Larsen about her research into hope. We’ll be back in two weeks with a new episode. If you asked 10 people to define what hope is, you’d probably get 10 different definitions. We think we know what hope is, but do we really? Is hoping for something unrealistic? Are wishing and hoping the same thing? Can you manifest something into being through hope? These are just some of the questions Trudy and Lisa pose to University of Alberta Faculty of Education Associate Dean (Research) and professor Dr. Denise Larsen about her research into hope. Even if you’re not a naturally hopeful person, Dr. Larsen tells us how we can build “hope skills” and how fostering hope in ourselves and others can change people, cities and communities for the better.Note: Dr. Larsen mentions an intervention activity conducted with international students. That activity was developed by University of Alberta Ph.D. candidate Chelsea Hobbs. Dr. Larsen also wished to acknowledge Dr. Doris Zhang.“Hope is a verb with its sleeves rolled up.” - David OrrRead our blog at CroneCast.caShare your questions and comments at cronecast.ca/contact.
