Self-care isn't selfish, but a crucial step in maintaining mental and emotional health—much like securing your own oxygen mask first on a plane. Join me, Bill Monty, as we explore this vital topic in the continuation of our Life Lessons series. I share personal insights and the wisdom gained from years of navigating life's ups and downs. Together, we'll explore the importance of setting healthier boundaries and habits as we age, ensuring that we can better care for ourselves and, in turn, for those around us. We'll also touch on the emotional aftermath of recent political events, emphasizing the need to process feelings of anger, sadness, or fear without letting them overwhelm us.

Rather than letting negative emotions consume us, let's channel them into positive actions. We discuss the inevitability of change and the importance of moving forward despite setbacks. Our heartfelt conversation will guide you in embracing self-care as a path to greater kindness and wisdom. Whether you're feeling disheartened by recent events or simply seeking to better understand the role self-care plays in our lives, this episode offers insight and encouragement. Tune in to discover how prioritizing your well-being can lead to a more fulfilling and compassionate life.

Please, please, please, if you, or someone that you know needs help, get them professional medical aid. Do not be embarrassed or afraid to ask for help.

I continue the Life Lessons Series with a reflection on Dying and Immortality and how your attitude towards these can change as you get older.

Facing the end of life can be one of the most challenging experiences, yet it is a journey we all must embark upon. Have you ever pondered how to prepare for the inevitability of death or what legacy you wish to leave behind?

Join me, Bill Monty, as we navigate these profound questions, inspired by the quote from beloved actor, Edmund Gwynn. This episode emerges from a year of loss, as I share personal reflections following the passing of several dear friends in 2024, prompting a reevaluation of beliefs about the afterlife and immortalizing influence. Together, we will explore how historical figures and celebrities achieve a form of immortality through the impact they have on others, and why our own stories hold the power to shape future generations.

As we close, I gently remind you to prioritize safety and self-care, inviting you to continue with me on this journey through future episodes of Bill Monty's Guide for Getting Older, where kindness and reflection guide our path.

Part of the journey of getting older is the connection we have to places and people from our past. This episode I invite you to join me as I reconnect with my old radio partner, and fellow podcaster, Jeff Alan Wolf.
Picture this: It's the 90s in South Florida, a time when local talk radio was the heartbeat of community conversation. We were right in the thick of it, riding the waves of unpredictability, enjoying the excitement of our live radio talk show until it ended unceremoniously during a July 4th weekend. Join us as we share personal tales from this vibrant era, recounting encounters with controversial personalities like Steve Kane, and exploring the industry's shift towards shock value—a route we consciously steered clear of. Through our stories, we weave in our broader reflections on the media landscape past and present.

Now, as we embark on our new adventure from the sunny realms of Florida and Arizona, the excitement of podcasting beckons. With a blend of humor and nostalgia, we say a fond farewell to our radio chapter while embracing this fresh start. Who knows where this uncharted path will lead us, but we're ready to explore it with optimism and camaraderie. Come along for the ride as we fuse the past's charm with the future's promise, sharing insights and laughter along the way.
