About this episode

Connie Franklin discusses aging with strength and purpose, sharing insights from her life as a former professional athlete and her work with seniors.

In this episode, I sit down with Connie Franklin, author of Senior for Seniors, for a lively conversation about aging with strength, purpose, and joy. Connie shares her remarkable journey from growing up in the U.S. to following her passion for basketball around the globe. As a former professional basketball player and 2012 Sports Hall of Fame inductee, Connie’s love of movement has shaped her life in powerful ways. That passion eventually led her overseas, where she settled in Austria and now helps seniors stay healthy, active, and engaged. In Senior for Seniors, Connie offers practical wisdom for anyone entering or living in their golden years. Through personal stories, helpful guidance, and real-life insight, she encourages readers to stay mentally sharp, adapt to physical changes, build meaningful connections, explore new hobbies, and continue living with confidence. What I loved most about this conversation was Connie’s exuberance, humor, and spunky spirit. She reminds us that aging does not mean stepping away from life. It can be a new chapter filled with movement, purpose, connection, and possibility. Listen in as Connie shares her story, her heart, and her encouragement…
