Respecting Your Elders… and Juniors! Hear from a 70-year-old Innovator

Elaine Lindsay just celebrated her 70th birthday and talks to Amy + Kimothy about age being just a phucking number. She was deep into the internet at its infancy, as an entrepreneur/expert, and feels zero bias toward her age group, or the next gen (or a few other gens).  Sporting her bright blue/turquoise hair, Elaine explains that it’s about talent and respect. SHE sets the tone in her life. It’s also about how YOU feel about yourself. Do experienced people judge juniors? Do we fail to find the middle ground? Does that have a mental health impact on both? Are we put out to pasture at a certain age? Should we resist? NOBODY is putting Elaine out to pasture at 70, that’s for sure! www.elainelindsay.com [http://www.elainelindsay.com] is where to find her – and to learn more about her other passion. She talks openly about suicidal ideation - after a horrific collision almost killed her…and left her with life-long injuries.

From a Death Sentence to 6 Years Cancer-Free…Survival, Medical Mistreatment and the Role of Anxiety

Eugenia Mancini Horan was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer and given just days to live. The six year cancer-free survivor wrote the book  The Dead Girl’s Guide to Terminal Cancer [https://www.amazon.com/Dead-Girls-Guide-Terminal-Cancer-ebook/dp/B0DQ3J979W/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2LTWPCII05G77&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bxO_IUVNfSvhWb_qHW5H_g.kmPx-DveFyylcmyjHulGN0nMQGwNZNrMoQfn0ovplDQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=the+dead+girls+guide+to+terminal+cancer+by+eugenia+mancini+horan&qid=1757017528&sprefix=the+dead+girls+guide+ot+termin%2Caps%2C127&sr=8-1].  She talks about the role misogyny, anxiety, and women’s mental health played in her diagnosis …and her highly confusing medical health journey. This is an uncensored survivor’s perspective on cancer, immunotherapy, and why Gina’s anxiety was a barrier to her receiving proper treatment throughout her cancer journey. Given just 3 days to live in 2019 from terminal lung cancer, Eugenia joins us…alive and healthy to talk about it. Eugenia's mission now is to share her remarkable journey to show that survival is possible—even when doctors say otherwise. https://a.co/d/0YLOAYp@ginamancinihoran (insta) Substack https://substack.com/@eugeniahoran ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
