What if turning 60 wasn't the beginning of the end, but the beginning of your most confident, fulfilling, and exciting chapter yet?

Too often, society tells women that life gets smaller as they age. My guest today is here to challenge that narrative and prove that life after 60 can be a time of reinvention, growth, purpose, and unapologetic ambition.

Ali Miles-Jenkins is the founder of Sassy and Successful After 60, an award-winning transformational coach, TEDx speaker, trainer, and champion for women who are ready to stop playing small and start living boldly. After spending more than 30 years helping people unlock their potential, Ali now focuses on empowering women over 60 to embrace their experience, challenge age stereotypes, and create lives they truly love.

In this inspiring conversation, Ali shares her own journey of reinvention, the mindset shifts that helped her embrace aging as an asset rather than a limitation, and practical ways women can step into their next chapter with confidence. We explore the impact of internalized ageism, the importance of supportive communities, and why it's never too late to pursue a dream, start something new, or redefine success on your own terms.

Whether you're approaching 60, well beyond it, or simply looking for inspiration to embrace what's next, this episode is a powerful reminder that your age does not define your potential.

Key Takeaway:
The skills, wisdom, and experiences you've accumulated over a lifetime are not holding you back - they are the very foundation for creating an extraordinary next chapter.

What happens when you return to the memories you buried for more than half a century?

In this moving episode of Don't Be Caged By Your Age, I chat with Mario Cartaya, acclaimed architect, Cuban exile, and debut author for a deeply human conversation about memory, identity, resilience, and reinvention.

Born in Havana in 1951, Mario left Cuba at the age of eight when his family immigrated to the United States in search of freedom. Decades later, after building a celebrated architectural career and having his life’s work entered into the U.S. Congressional Record, Mario found himself drawn back to the memories of his childhood and ultimately back to Cuba itself.

His memoir, Journey Back Into the Vault: In Search of My Faded Cuban Childhood Footprints, explores that emotional journey of rediscovery.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How childhood memories quietly shape our identity
• Leaving Cuba and adapting to life in America
• The moment Mario realized architecture was his calling
• Building spaces that serve humanity and community
• Becoming an author later in life
• Why it’s never too late to reconnect with your story

What if thinking about the end of your life… could actually help you live more fully right now?

In this powerful and uplifting conversation, I sit down with bestselling author Karen Salmansohn to explore how embracing aging - and even mortality - can become a catalyst for living with greater intention, courage, and joy.

Karen shares the inspiration behind her bold new book, Your To-Die-For Life, and introduces us to the idea of Mortality Awareness - a mindset shift that helps you stop postponing what matters most.

We also dive into her viral concept of connecting with your 90-year-old self (yes… Karen's 90-year-old self included fabulous red sneakers), and how that perspective can radically change the way you approach your life today.

Karen beautifully reminds us: thinking about the end of our life isn’t about fear - it’s about focus. It’s about clarity. It’s about choosing to live more intentionally while we still have the gift of time.
