Back with a show jam-packed with new content! Ty Segall, Robot Apocalypse, Supercruch and Clearance.

Jessica Murphy chats about her thriller, The St. James Conspiracy. Did Jesus die on the cross or did his disciples save him? Race through history to explore this controversial idea.

This episode is all about your Midlife Mission. Finding your purpose can become a great tool in making your Midlife matter. Today we re examine something called Ikigai. Culturally it’s not an encouraged thing to take a risk or many risks to be vulnerable at this age and stage of our lives. Most of the messages are about slowing down, reducing or eliminating risks and essentially fading away. Wabi Women challenge this and encourage each other to look for the adventure and beauty that is waiting to be discovered in this later chapter of life.

Blues tunes, Ronnie Earl, Lipbone Redding, Canned Heat & more

Each time you smile you throw a little party for your brain! The act of smiling is scientifically proven to help achieve longevity and mental happiness. On Wabi Women we look at the science today behind the smile, and what message is being sent to our brains when we smile. Did you know there are dozens of different smiles, each with a different message our brain interprets? We have a great conversation about the Smile Experiment, and our Smile Scorecard, something our brain does each and every day calculating how often we smile, and to whom we smile. Its all fodder for a longer life with more life in it.

First 2 hours

Wabi Women this week looks at the science behind movement and longevity. Empowerment begins in the muscles! Physical movement is deeply connected to brain health, and both physical and mental strength are fundamental in making Midlife and beyond matter. Research says exercise, and movement in specific, are incredible tools for adding longevity, and more importantly lifegevity. Have a listen.

I talk about Millennials, Generation X, Post-Millennials (Generation Z), as well as Boomers. But these distinctions are really all marketing tools. And the differences within the categories are greater than the differences between! I play music that tries to illustrate the different generation stereotypes...starting with "What's the Matter with Kids Today" from Bye Bye Birdie---a 1960 musical. After all, each generation wants to judge and disparage the next one, don't they. Fortunately I'm old enough so there really isn't anybody around to disparage my generation. :)

Blues mix with Little Feat, Buddy Guy & Hugh Laurie

WHAT IS THE SINGLE THING THAT YOU CAN DO TO RESET YOUR BODY AND BRAIN FOR LONGEVITY? THE ANSWER MIGHT SURPRISE YOU! THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT PILLAR FOR LONGEVITY IS SLEEP. TODAY’S EPISODE IS ALL ABOUT THE SECRETS OF SLEEP, AND ITS RESTORATIVE NATURE AS WE CONTINUE OUR SERIES ON THE MIDLIFE BRAIN AND LONGEVITY.

Impulsivity, rebellion, irresponsibility, cynicism, hope, and the back and forth motion between wanting to grow up and wanting to stay a kid forever! Those are themes in some of the songs from this week's episode.
