2BoomerBabes Radio Hour is a continuing conversation about boomer issues. We’ll explore topics such as coping with our aging parents (and perhaps adult children living in our basements), romance in mid-life, health, and finance. The topics are endless. As part of the largest generation in history, we seek the vast audience of boomers who are traveling the same road, and facing the same adjustments at midlife. http://www.2boomerbabes.com/radio_show_podcasts.html http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Mon, 6 Feb 2012 16:40:12 -0500 comments@2boomerbabes.com Mon, 6 Feb 2012 16:34:26 -0500 FeedForAll v2.0 (2.0.3.1) http://www.feedforall.com 2BoomerBabes Radio Hour is a continuing conversation about boomer issues.

Marianne Kilkenny is a consultant and educator who works with groups and individuals looking for alternative communities as they age.

Adult kids, especially those with college educations, were supposed to find great jobs and be financially independent right out of the starting gate. That mind-set is rapidly changing - between record student loan debt, rising rents and a dismal job market, college graduates are returning home in record numbers. As difficult as it may be for adult children AND their parents, there are definite upsides to the situation. In her book, "Under One Roof Again," Psychologist Susan Newman explores these benefits and offers solid advice on dealing with the inevitable complications that arise when formerly parent-child relationships become adult-adult ones.

That BIG 5-0 birthday is just around the corner. What are we facing in our next half century? How do we counter or (embrace) our morphing bodies? What's the best prescription for living a long healthy life? Are we financially fit for the years ahead?

Entering mid-life can be a bit scary, but help is on the way! Barbara Hannah Grufferman, author of "The Best of Everything after 50, The Experts' Guide to Style, Sex, Health, Money, and More" shares all.

We stumbled across an interesting couple who, at mid-life, decided to chuck it all and travel the world. In 2006, Doris and Jacob Gallan began a 5 year around-the-world-journey visiting all 7 continents, over 50 countries, and residing in three. They quit their corporate life, sold their home and all their belongings, and left the everyday work grind behind to begin their new life journey. This experience launched Doris' successful blog, Baby Boomers Traveling, and prompted her to write "The Boomers' Guide to Going Abroad." Doris joins us from...who knows where.
