Stay ConnectedMen and women in midlife are drawn to Mary Rogers’ honest take on the experiences of the empty nest, aging parents, spending an inheritance, dating and sex, travel, downsizing things, trashing bad habits and figuring out who you want to be now that you really are all almost grow up.
The podcast is always smart, usually funny, and occasionally painfully real in speaking to the cusp of GenX and Baby Boomers.

This episode has a single message. You only get ONE chance to speak at a loved one's funeral service. Deb Callison, 56, shares her story of regretting that she did not deliver the eulogy at her mother's funeral. She had naturally assumed that she would, and was actually looking forward to honoring her mother in this way. But an awkward moment (or 3) created by the pastor, and her mother's voice to not hurt the pastor's feelings, changed how things unfolded.
