Chapter 2: A change in Narrators

When your role shifts from manager to mentor...Before we begin, we’d like to formally apologize to both your ears and your eyes. Yes, the sound quality is what experts might call ‘vintage,’ and the video appears to have been filmed on a device originally intended for security footage. But listen — the conversation is strong, the wisdom is real, and if you hang in there, we promise it’s worth this brief journey back to 2009!

Welcome to Reading Between the Years. This is a space for the conversations that don’t fit neatly into headlines, talking points, or inspirational slogans about aging. We’re two friends in our sixties, living this season in real time — the physical changes, the relational shifts, the unexpected griefs, and the freedoms no one prepared us for. We’re not here to offer advice or tidy conclusions. We’re here to talk about how it actually feels. Each episode, we read between the years — the years behind us and the ones still unfolding — and name the emotions that often go unspoken. The doubts, the humor, the tenderness, the anger, the gratitude. All of it belongs. If you’re tired of the rhetoric and ready for the real story, you’re in the right place. Pull up a chair. This is Reading Between the Years.
