In this moving episode of Don't Be Caged By Your Age, I chat with Mario Cartaya, acclaimed architect, Cuban exile, and debut author for a deeply human conversation about memory, identity, resilience, and reinvention. Born in Havana in 1951, Mario left Cuba at the age of eight when his family immigrated to the United States in search of freedom.

In this episode, I sit down with Steve Robinson, 79, whose extraordinary career in public radio spans decades of leadership, innovation, and storytelling. But what fascinates me most is what he’s doing now. After years as an executive producer and general manager, Steve chose to step back into the craft itself, learning digital audio production from scratch after a career that began in the ... | 45m 48s | ||||||

| 4/16/26 |  EP 93 Aging by Design, Not Default with David Stewart | Your greatest limitation as you age might not be your body… but what you believe is possible. In this conversation, I sit down with David Stewart, founder of AGEIST and the visionary behind the Super Age movement, to explore what it really means to age by design, not default. We talk about how internalized ageism quietly shapes our lives: the risks we don’t take, the things we tell ourselves we “can’t” do, and how, over time, we may be lowering the bar on what we believe is possible. David... | 44m 50s | ||||||
| 4/9/26 |  EP 92 Your Next Chapter Can Be Your Best Yet | At 83, Linda Tatum is living proof that reinvention has no expiration date.

In this episode I’m joined by an 80-year-old trailblazer who is challenging one of the most accepted beliefs about aging - that physical pain is inevitable. With decades of experience helping people understand the muscular causes of chronic pain, Julie Donnelly shares a powerful perspective: many of the aches, stiffness, and limitations we experience may not be about aging at all. This conversation is an ... | 52m 39s | ||||||

Nancy shares what it took to navigate and succeed in a male-dominated field, and how curiosity, courage, and persistence opened doors that once s... | 37m 43s | ||||||
| 3/12/26 |  EP 89 How Intergenerational Relationships Dismantle Ageism | Do you ever notice how age can feel like a barrier instead of a bridge? I’ve discovered one of the most powerful ways to dismantle ageism isn’t policy, awareness campaigns, or corporate training - it’s relationships across generations. In this episode, I’m sharing why intergenerational friendships, mentorships, collaborations, and workplace partnerships are so effective at breaking down stereotypes and creating a more age-inclusive world. When generations truly connect, amazing things... | 11m 48s | ||||||

In this episode, I’m sharing my personal experience with ageism in health care - how the tone of my medical appointments changed, why the attention to my symptoms dropped, and why so many of us suddenly get a pat on the shoulder instead of real care. This isn’t just about Medicare or paperwork. It’s about what happens when the medical system quietly decides we’re “too old” for deeper investigation. I b... | 10m 51s | ||||||
