great thank you for having me on your

1:35

1:37
actually reschedule the show because
1:39
Facebook went down two weeks ago this
1:42
this Wednesday two weeks ago right and
1:43
there was no way that we could get on so
1:45
we decided that we were going to do a a
1:47
redo and I'm so glad that you're here
1:49
today and you are sitting in one of the
1:51
most beautiful places that you are
1:53
outside I wish I was out there pretty
1:56
gorgeous absolutely gorgeous down here
1:59
so as you know this is the super boomer
2:02
lifestyle show and I like to ask
2:03
everyone you know my guess what a super
2:06
boomer means to them and I'm going to
2:07
ask my viewers as well to tell us what
2:10
you think the super boomer is but I
2:13
boomer is fearless somebody that does
2:16
not show up and say that on a certain
2:18
age and I can't do that in fact they're
2:20
ageless that seems familiar doesn't it
2:23
yeah it seems familiar so Robin how
2:25
would you describe a super boomer oh my
2:28
gosh to meet a super boomer is somebody
2:30
who lets nothing stopped them so exactly
2:32
what you said they're fearless they
2:34
don't let age stop them they don't let
2:36
society stop them they don't let the old
2:38
rules stop them they are living their
2:41
life for themselves and for the people
2:44
around them for their their families so
2:46
they are out there they're doing things
2:48
they're just they're super boomers all
2:50
the way there are kind of people right
2:52
there super nothing gets in their way so
2:55
make sure that you tell us what your
2:57
what your thoughts are on being a super
2:59
boomer and before we like really jump in
3:02
you know one of the things that's really
3:04
funny about this is that when I told you
3:07
I was gonna do this show and I wanted
3:09
you to be on it and I said you know how
3:11
do we love getting older what do we love
3:13
about getting older and you literally
3:14
said to me well that's not really my
3:16
message my message is being ageless bein
3:21
ageless and I found that fascinating
3:22
because we do have the very same point
3:25
of view but we come at it from different
3:27
directions and so let's talk about
3:29
what's celebrating ageless and what
3:31
being ageless means what does that mean
3:34
being ageless you know to me being
3:37
ageless is not allowing a number to
3:39
define you I don't look at you know
3:41
every birthday that comes by I
3:42
celebrates how many years I've been
3:44
alive but I don't look at it and say I
3:46
am 53 years old or I next year I'm gonna
3:50
be you know 54 55 whatever I have six
3:54
years to go until you know I'm this age
3:55
it's every single day I'm living my life
3:58
the way I would any other day it doesn't
4:01
matter what age I am I live the same way
4:04
today that I lived thirty years ago so
4:07
to me I am ageless I love that I really
4:11
do love that because I'm one of those
4:13
girls that just say just watch me
4:14
don't tell me I can't do that just watch
4:17
me don't tell me don't tell me that gray
4:19
hair makes you look old if if I want to
4:23
have gray hair don't tell me I can't
4:26
yes a certain way now you know you're an
4:28
actress an Instagram would be and I'm
4:30
gonna tell people how they can follow
4:31
you on Instagram you are you're always
4:33
there's beautiful shots of you all over
4:36
the place and different and you are just
4:38
you're gorgeous you're beautiful and
4:40
you're ageless so do you ever worry at
4:44
any point that you know you know maybe
4:46
maybe I'm got to stop doing this because
4:48
I can't imagine you ever stopping doing
4:50
that you you just you own it girlfriend
4:53
thank you very much I will never stop
4:56
doing this ever I will be 90 years old
4:58
and you will find me running around in a
5:00
sundress high heels and climbing on
5:03
swing sets and you know sliding down
5:06
slides that is that is Who I am oh my
5:09
god I love that now I was saying on
5:10
Instagram you can see Robyn doing all
5:12
this so go ahead and write this down
5:14
it's at Robin Linn dot ageless of course
5:17
and you can see Robin out there doing
5:19
all sorts of great stuff so she lives a
5:21
life that I think we all want to live
5:22
and I think that that's part of the
5:24
whole ageless thing right you don't you
5:26
just do I just do it you judge it
5:29
absolutely so what is galumphing I am
5:35
glad you asked that as one of my
5:36
favorite conversations in the entire
5:38
world okay first of all I learned about
5:40
galumphing from a book called free play
5:42
and I was reading it as one of my actors
5:45
resources and as I'm reading it he's
5:47
actually talking about life and I ran
5:50
across the word galumphing and I started
5:53
looking at first of all just the word
5:55
alone makes me laugh but to define
5:57
galumphing it is really the art of free
6:00
if you imagine a couple of puppies
6:02
running through a park and they're like
6:04
falling all over each other and jumping
6:07
up on things that is a form of
6:08
galumphing so when we apply it to
6:10
ourselves galumphing is doing an ornate
6:14
activity it's doing something completely
6:16
out of the ordinary it could be
6:18
something as simple as taking the scenic
6:20
route rather than you know the normal
6:22
exit that you take every single day it
6:25
could be you know you're walking into
6:26
the parking lot you decide to walk up on
6:28
the curb and balance herself because
6:30
well it's different it's playful it's
6:33
it's not planned it's basically an
6:35
unplanned activity I love that so
6:38
viewers you know if you're
6:39
or if you're on replay let us know if if
6:42
you glove if you actually galumphing
6:46
Columbus the Bourbon fun to say it's
6:50
even fun to say what do you do a little
6:52
bit out of the ordinary so you can say
6:54
I'm going thing I love that that is a
6:57
absolutely well you know okay so I say I
7:00
said that what do we love about getting
7:01
older let me tell you what I love about
7:04
I love the fact that all of those things
7:07
that I learned as a youth as a young
7:09
person and then as adult and all of
7:11
those things that I have pulled forward
7:12
into this later were later years
7:15
whatever year that is I don't care I
7:18
call I'm 62 I take all of that and I
7:21
drag it up with me and I say wow if I
7:23
didn't have all of that back there I
7:25
wouldn't be able to love what I'm doing
7:28
right now love the age that I'm in right
7:29
now all of those skills all of those I
7:31
don't want to go back has anyone asked
7:34
you would you ever like to go back and
7:35
start all over in what you know go back
7:36
to your 20s I'm sure people have asked
7:39
me that my answer is no why thank you
7:42
why not I think I'm you know I'm with
7:45
you I I love the experience that I've
7:47
gained from all of those years and you
7:49
know one of the big questions people
7:51
always ask is why would you go back and
7:53
tell your younger self and that is to
7:55
listen to your intuition back then I had
7:57
that intuition but I didn't always
7:59
listen to it and it always got me into
8:02
trouble and you know now I know better I
8:05
have the wisdom I I've been out there
8:08
I've done things and I don't have to do
8:10
them again so now I can have that free
8:13
spiritedness that I had back then but
8:15
have the wisdom to go along with it so I
8:17
don't get myself in you know spirit
8:18
trouble again I love ya when you said I
8:21
don't have to do them again I would
8:22
thank God you know I'm sure we have
8:26
stories to tell stories what are you
8:29
talking about and so if we go to look on
8:32
the other side of the coin of what we
8:34
love about getting older is celebrating
8:35
this is celebrating and as we get older
8:38
I you know I don't think about
8:41
III at this point don't think I'm never
8:44
going to retire I've been asked a lot
8:46
well well when you stop doing this when
8:48
you're done doing this is that gonna
8:50
that gonna be you gonna retire you're
8:52
gonna relax you're gonna join your
8:54
go I don't know eat bonbons all day long
8:56
no I don't think so I think that I'm
8:58
just gonna do whatever's next and I
9:00
liked it called set of retirement it's
9:02
whatever's next next I like that so what
9:06
are you gonna do next you know I am
9:10
still trying to figure out what I'm
9:11
gonna be when I grow up
9:12
you know I laugh about that all the time
9:15
because it's I there's so many fun
9:18
things out there that I want to do and
9:20
you know one thing that I have learned
9:22
is I'm not limited I can do anything so
9:25
if I want to try out for something new
9:27
hot-diggity I'm gonna do it I'm gonna do
9:30
anything that I want to do so what's
9:32
next oh I don't know I want to travel
9:35
um this summer we're gonna go to
9:36
Yellowstone so I'm gonna start traveling
9:38
and and climbing near the mountains and
9:42
the volcanoes volcanoes are big on my
9:44
list Karen I want to explore volcanoes
9:47
you're scaring me right now
9:51
let me read something uh Susan Jacob
9:53
says yes it's so important I love where
9:55
I'm at now the friendships experience
9:57
confidence is saying no and sticking to
9:59
my values is liberating amen yeah oh my
10:04
gosh and and so Joey Garrity of 1/13
10:08
branding she actually just put a quote
10:09
up from you I'm still trying to figure
10:11
out what I'm going to be what I grow so
10:15
if you talk about agelessness as being
10:17
like a jigsaw puzzle
10:18
yes what does that mean you know it's
10:21
agelessness it's a great place to start
10:24
in the mind but it's got to kind of work
10:26
its way from the mind down to the heart
10:27
and it becomes a part of your lifestyle
10:29
there are many aspects to being ageless
10:32
you know it's easy for us to say oh I'm
10:34
ageless I'm not gonna let a number to
10:36
but if you're not taking the proper
10:38
steps to really be ageless if you're not
10:41
you know watching up your nutrition if
10:44
you're not being active you're going to
10:46
allow certain diseases to come in and
10:48
start controlling your life and you're
10:50
gonna start feeling that aging you know
10:52
so being ageless you have to take
10:55
responsibility for yourself and there
10:57
are so many different puzzle pieces to
11:00
that that I like to put together and
11:02
we'll be talking a lot about that on the
11:04
website I've got many people coming in
11:08
about will be offering their advice but
11:11
you know some of those steps we have
11:13
fitness we have to remain active yoga
11:17
yoga oh it's this place yo-yo you do
11:21
yoga Anonymous I'm a novice I'm learning
11:26
yoga wait this is my yoga mat that sits
11:27
in the super boomer lifestyle comm store
11:30
that's you know and that's one of the
11:32
things I do so fitness
11:33
that's one fitness and just to touch on
11:36
the fitness you know if you look at the
11:37
Blue Zones one of the big things about
11:39
the Blue Zones that everybody has in
11:41
common is that they all have that active
11:43
lifestyles and it doesn't mean that the
11:45
people in Okinawa are going out there
11:47
and they're doing Tai Chi and yoga every
11:49
day it is they're out there working the
11:52
fields you know they're being active it
11:55
doesn't mean that you have to take an
11:56
hour of your time and go to the gym and
11:58
walk on a treadmill for 30 minutes it
12:00
means that you are active you know walk
12:04
to the grocery store park far away from
12:06
the door be active and that is a great
12:10
I love that so so does being active I
12:13
pace when I'm on the phone I paced back
12:15
and forth apart that works right it's
12:18
bigger you you know you have a tag line
12:21
that says you have to be strong to be
12:23
delicate I love that tell us a little
12:26
bit about where that comes from and and
12:28
what that means yeah a lot of that that
12:31
really came from from going through life
12:34
and making mistakes and those mistakes
12:37
making me a stronger person and before
12:40
you know when I was in my 20s early 30s
12:43
you know I I had no problem being that
12:46
soft sweets feminine girl that everybody
12:49
loved but I got trampled on you know I
12:52
got trampled on hard and that kind of
12:55
squashes your spirit so now it's like as
12:59
you go through those mistakes and you
13:01
allow yourself to become strong but you
13:04
don't love those walls to take over your
13:06
life you know very easy to put those
13:10
walls up I did it for a while we've got
13:13
to bring them down and by bringing them
13:14
down and allowing both sides of you to
13:16
come out you can be strong and you have
13:19
to be strong to truly allow your
13:21
stuff to be soft to be delicate and I
13:24
don't mean soft like a flower and you're
13:25
gonna wilt or fade away but being just
13:29
delicate enough to feel the emotions of
13:32
life to feel empathy for your neighbor
13:34
to know what's happening with your
13:36
husband or your children are your best
13:38
friends to be able to be that person for
13:41
them you have to have that strength so
13:44
Robin it appears my camera has gone off
13:46
so I'm gonna drop out for just a minute
13:48
and if you want to talk just a little
13:49
bit more because you're not gonna go
13:50
anywhere I'm gonna pull myself back up
13:51
because I'm not sure with my camera Gwen
13:53
I'll be back in a second and I'm back
13:58
there we go oh there you are
14:00
oh no I'm not there do you see me I see
14:03
you um I'm gonna ask our audience
14:05
because I am looking at a black screen
14:07
right now on my on my view over here can
14:11
you guys see me in the camera cause if
14:13
not it I'm just gonna put a Robin in oh
14:15
you see me alright so I'm just great
14:19
alright don't know what's going on
14:21
before the show started I said something
14:23
to you that I wasn't sure I wanted to
14:25
bring up but I am gonna bring it up and
14:27
you know a lot of times people look at
14:29
people like you and I and we're just so
14:31
we're joyful right we're just we have
14:33
this this thing about us that we say oh
14:36
or Dannette we're not we're ageless and
14:37
we're just gonna keep on going but we're
14:39
not dumb right we're not dumb we know
14:41
that as we get older whatever age it is
14:44
you could be getting older at 30 but
14:46
whatever age as you get older there are
14:49
things that happen and last night
14:51
something happened to me that actually
14:53
made me um really sit down because of
14:55
what happened but really rethink a
14:57
little bit about what I do when I sit
14:59
here in a camera and I tell people you
15:01
know go out there and be a super boomer
15:03
I passed out last night and fell down
15:06
and I hit my head really hard I mean
15:09
like golf-ball-sized bump up my head and
15:13
I was as I was laying there on the floor
15:15
after I woke up uh I actually had one of
15:19
those moments where I said maybe maybe
15:21
meaning I'm not aging as well as I
15:24
should maybe uh they're you know when
15:27
you get over these things happen at like
15:28
oh my gosh and then you shared something
15:31
that was sort of along those simmer
15:33
loins and I'd like you to share those
15:35
it's the same kind of thing we're not
15:38
we know that there are that things
15:40
happen what happened well you know it
15:43
actually it happens my friend Melanie
15:46
and she's if you follow her on Instagram
15:48
it's at Mel's second act and her blog
15:51
she's gonna be talking extensively about
15:53
this I only have the the basics of the
15:56
information but it's so important you
15:58
know her husband is you know my age he's
16:01
in his 50s and he was experiencing some
16:05
great dizziness and they thought it was
16:07
an inner ear thing and after a little
16:10
while Karen I think I lost you this time
16:15
in case anybody else is still listening
16:18
they got him to the hospital and has
16:21
turned out he was having a stroke and
16:23
it's so scary because it wasn't any of
16:26
the normal symptoms sorry a spider just
16:29
went by so anyway but it was none of the
16:33
normal it's normal symptoms but they got
16:36
him to the hospital he is okay and I
16:39
really do hope you guys will go to her
16:41
blog you can find her on Instagram it's
16:43
at Mel's second act and her blog is
16:47
gonna say everything about it so I don't
16:50
know I think we may have lost Karen and
16:52
I don't know if I have you guys or not I
16:55
see nothing except for that I'm live
16:59
this is fun are you guys there is Karen
17:04
there okay well I'm just gonna keep on
17:07
chatting that's why I can do so you know
17:11
we were talking about the difference
17:13
puzzle pieces of being ageless and you
17:16
know some of the different things we
17:18
said fitness some of the other things
17:20
that that happened with that is you know
17:23
nutrition everybody's always trying to
17:25
figure out what is the best nutrition
17:27
plan that I can be on what can I do
17:29
should I be polio should I be vegan
17:32
what vegetarian Mediterranean you know
17:36
what is it and my background I do have a
17:39
background in holistic nutrition and the
17:42
one thing that I can't tell you is that
17:43
there is no one diet plan for every
17:45
single person on this planet it doesn't
17:48
so what you can do is you can start
17:51
eating more plant foods you can start
17:54
watching the processed foods that you're
17:56
on maybe start eliminating them you know
17:59
we try in our household to have little
18:01
to no processed foods and if they are
18:03
processed they're made strictly with
18:05
whole food ingredients cut back on your
18:08
sugar cut back on alcohol yeah those are
18:11
all little things that you can do
18:12

18:16

18:20
things you can do is watch your stress

stress kills people and that is that's
18:27
comes from the experts we've got to
18:28
watch our stress go out for more walks
18:31
start meditating do yoga just sit back
18:34
and start breathing other things find
18:37
your purpose too many times out there
18:40
especially as we started aging we start
18:42
losing what our purpose is I have a lot
18:44
of friends who you know their their kids
18:47
move out and they feel like they have no
18:49
purpose left and that can create a
18:52
depression so find your purpose find

gonna drop you down to the green room
23:04
okay all right guys so it's time for the
23:11
super boomer moment and this is the time
23:14
where we talk about something that
23:15
struck me in the middle of the show as
23:17
we were discussing things besides the
23:19
fact that we're all vulnerable look
23:22
Robin ended up doing part of the show by
23:24
herself because I got kicked out and
23:26
that is also part of celebrating our
23:29
agelessness and and celebrating the fact
23:31
that we can do anything we want and I
23:33
think that for me the most the most
23:37
important thing that that I have learned
23:39
is that we are super boomers we're
23:42
celebrating super boomers and at the end
23:45
of the day we embrace who we are we are
23:47
fearless we are powerful and that's
23:51
because we are super boomers so I want
23:55
to thank you all for joining us today we
23:57
know that you have lots of places to be
23:59
and you chose it to spend it with us
24:01
today I am so happy that you did this go
24:05
out and give somebody an awesome day and
24:06
I'll see you next time on the next
24:08
episode um it's a super boomer lifestyle
24:11
