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.

Each member of a family reacts and responds differently to the growing responsibilities that come with aging parents. Some may be natural caregivers, problem solvers, or delegators. Only children and siblings will find many family dynamics at play when the power shift begins between the generations.
Mary Rogers and Life Transitions Coach Diann Wingert, LCSW, discuss the pivot from child to keeper and caregiver.

Mary has some fun with words and phrases that make us sound old. Not that it is a bad thing, some words bring back great memories, like "rap session" or "groovy".
Some phrases just make no sense in today's world. "Roll down your window" and "Hang up the phone" just to name a couple.
So enjoy some wordsmithing nostalgia!

Tom Purcell is a nationally syndicated humor columnist and the author of "Misadventures of a 1970s Childhood," a humorous memoir.
Tom joins Mary Rogers on the Experience 50 Podcast to reminisce about spending childhood summers roaming the neighborhood on stingray, banana seat bikes, only told to be home by dinnertime. Baby Boomers and even some Gen Xers will relate and remember the days!
Purcell’s newspaper column is syndicated in over 300 newspapers and he has written a wonderful book sharing his stories in his personal book.
It includes 16 stories about bike jumps that nearly killed us, vengeance on the sledding slopes, 6th grade puppy love, the old wooden stereo console, the embarrassment of getting the first David Cassidy shag haircut, a beloved family dog that ran away, going through the old photo box, a baby sister left behind at the drive-in theater, a regrettable incident in which an 11 year old kid clogs the family room toilet with an apple core, and other tales from that could only happen in the '70s.
