When getting out of the car or taking the stairs starts to feel like a bigger deal than it used to, it can change what you say yes to.

On this episode of Get Savvy...Demystifying Healthcare, Sandy Kibling talks with Darla McCann about staying active and independent after 60. Darla shares how caring for her partner at home left her stretched thin and how that experience led her to start moving in short sessions she could fit into her day.

Darla calls these brief movement practices Freedom Bites. She explains how to fit them into routines you already have, from brushing your teeth to getting ready for bed. You’ll hear what clarity, calmness, and confidence mean in her approach, why a walk to the mailbox mattered to one of her clients, and what it was like for Darla to climb into temples and step onto small boats on the Nile in her 70s.

Listen for ideas on how to make room for movement when life is already full.

Key Takeaways

1. Start with a movement that matters to you. Darla uses everyday examples like getting out of a car, climbing stairs, and walking to the mailbox to make a mobility goal feel concrete.
2. Pair a short practice with a habit you already have. One of Darla’s clients used brushing her teeth as her reminder to practice heel raises.
3. Give yourself time to focus on the movement. Darla’s approach centers on knowing what you want your body to do, remembering to breathe, and paying attention to how confident you feel as you move.

Does shopping for health insurance leave you wondering whether you’re paying more and getting less? A monthly premium tells only part of the story.

In this episode of Get Savvy…Demystifying Healthcare, Sandy Kibling sits down with Tom Crennen from Colorado Health to explore the questions individuals and families can ask before choosing coverage—from keeping a trusted doctor to understanding prescription costs and potential out-of-pocket expenses.

Drawing on his experience serving Colorado consumers, Tom discusses buying coverage on and off the exchange, questions about tax credits, and how a knowledgeable local broker can help you compare your options.

The conversation also explores individual coverage health reimbursement arrangements for employers and the limits of relying on AI for personalized insurance answers.

Listen for practical ways to prepare for a coverage conversation and make your next enrollment decision with greater clarity.

3 Key Takeaways

1. Look beyond the monthly premium. Consider deductibles, prescription coverage, provider networks, and potential out-of-pocket costs together.
2. Bring your priorities to the conversation. Knowing which doctors you want to keep and which medications you take helps focus your plan comparison.
3. Ask for help with the details. The episode explores how a local broker can help explain coverage choices and questions about tax credits.
