What if the most interesting chapters of our lives are still waiting to be written?

Age of Possibility explores the people, ideas, and questions that challenge us to rethink what it means to grow, change, and become.

In each conversation, we meet scientists, physicians, artists, entrepreneurs, spiritual teachers, and remarkable people who refuse to believe that life has a fixed script. They share the discoveries, turning points, setbacks, and insights that shaped who they are—and what they believe is possible next.


This is a podcast about curiosity, courage, reinvention, purpose, and the freedom to keep becoming, no matter where you are in life.

Because possibility doesn't expire.


Come explore what might be possible when you stay curious, embrace change, and remain open to becoming someone—and something—you haven't imagined yet.

  • Gutpunched to Grateful with Jeff Edwards

    Gutpunched to Grateful with Jeff Edwards
    2026/09/29
    Caregiver, broadcaster, and podcast host Jeff Edwards shares a deeply personal journey of being a husband caring for a wife with Alzheimer’s, how the diagnosis felt like a life-changing “gut punch,” and how that experience inspired both his podcast Gut Punched: Alzheimer’s and Caregivers and his AI-assisted song “I Still Choose You.” The conversation explores early signs of Alzheimer’s and dementia, the emotional toll and stigma caregivers face, the life-changing support of organizations like the Dubin Center and men’s caregiver groups, and practical guidance on resources, power of attorney, trusts, medical decisions, and emerging Alzheimer’s research. Jeff opens up about using diet, exercise, brain health, faith, and community to stay resilient, what it means to “remember enough for two,” and how caregiving has reshaped his understanding of love, purpose, simplicity, and hope while inspiring a mission to support other caregivers who feel overwhelmed and alone.Takeaways:Caregiving is a “same river, different boat” journey – every Alzheimer’s or dementia case looks different, but caregivers can learn crucial lessons from each other about resources, decisions, and emotional survival.Hope, faith, and community are not optional extras – support groups, organizations like the Dubin Center, and a strong spiritual foundation help caregivers stay grounded, keep advocating, and avoid losing themselves in the process.Creativity can turn pain into purpose – Jeff’s podcast Gut Punched: Alzheimer’s and Caregivers and his song “I Still Choose You” show how storytelling and music can transform a devastating diagnosis into connection, advocacy, and practical help for other caregivers.Quotes:“You may forget the life we built, but I’ll remember enough for two.” “We’re really not in the same boat. We’re all in the same river, but we’re all in different boats.” “Once you give up hope, then it’s all downhill from there.”Timestamps: [00:00:07] – Introducing Jeff Edwards and the “Gut Punched: Alzheimer’s and Caregivers” Podcast Host Peggy Selfan introduces Jeff Edwards, his caregiving journey with his wife’s Alzheimer’s, and his original song “I Still Choose You,” setting the stage for a conversation about transformation through adversity.[00:02:03] – Becoming “Jeff Edwards” and a 55-Year Radio Career Jeff explains how he created the on-air persona “Jeff Edwards” in 1975 to overcome shyness, built a long broadcast and sales career, and learned to connect, cold call, and build relationships that later shaped his caregiving approach.[00:06:10] – Early Signs and the Alzheimer’s Diagnosis Jeff recalls noticing subtle changes in his wife—like rewatching TV shows without remembering—and walks through the neurologist visits, testing, and the fearful moment of hearing, “We’re pretty sure it’s Alzheimer’s.”[00:07:43] – Facing Fear and Finding the Dubin Center Jeff shares the initial “what do I do now?” panic, how a recommendation led him to the Dubin Center the very next day, and why that first visit marked the beginning of a new learning journey in Alzheimer’s caregiving.[00:10:00] – Stigma, Judgment, and Why People Stay Silent The discussion turns to how families dealing with Alzheimer’s often hide the diagnosis, the lingering stigma around dementia compared to other illnesses, and why most people don’t really understand caregiving until they live it.[00:11:45] – The Origin of the “Gut Punched” Podcast Name Jeff describes hearing the word “podcast” in a sales meeting, feeling divinely nudged to pay attention, and eventually choosing the name “Gut Punched” to capture the visceral blow of an Alzheimer’s diagnosis—and his mission to help others.[00:18:00] – Men’s Groups, Resources, and “Same River, Different Boats” Jeff talks about men’s caregiver groups at the Dubin Center and his church, the practical lessons on power of attorney, trusts, and doctors, and a powerful metaphor: caregivers share the same river but are each in different boats.[00:21:55] – Treatments, Lifestyle Changes, and Emerging Research He shares what he’s learned from Dr. Dale Bredesen’s work, adjusting diet and exercise, experimenting with supplements, and tracking new Alzheimer’s research—from medications to 40 Hz sound/light therapies and blood–brain barrier challenges.[00:26:55] – Writing “I Still Choose You” with Help from AI Jeff walks through his creative process: gathering lyric ideas while working in the yard, refining them over months, using AI to shape the music, and discovering the accidental but perfect line “I’ll remember enough for two.”[00:29:31] – Listening to “I Still Choose You” (Song Excerpt) Peggy plays an excerpt of “I Still Choose You,” highlighting lyrics about being his wife’s memory, staying through fear and pain, and choosing her again despite ...

  • A Life Guided by Faith with Elizabeth Navarre Paladino

    A Life Guided by Faith with Elizabeth Navarre Paladino
    2026/09/22

    Age of Possibility: Conversations About Becoming welcomes Elizabeth Navarre Paladino, a former New York City dancer turned alignment specialist, fitness innovator, inventor of the Roller Sizer, and co-owner of Yacht Club Subs in Naples, Florida. Elizabeth, who simply calls herself a “fit mom,” shares how faith, discipline, and joy have guided her from professional dance in the Martha Graham tradition to training clients like Henry Kissinger, inventing a simple yet powerful back-care tool, caring for her father at the end of his life, and now franchising a craft sub shop in her late 60s. Listeners discover how her eye for alignment was formed at the ballet barre, how injuries became a source of wisdom, why she sees the Roller Sizer as a gift from God, and how she uses laughter, presence, and faith to help people move with greater ease, confidence, and possibility at any age.


    Host Peggy talks with Elizabeth Navarre “Lizzie” Palladino, a former NYC dancer who has reinvented herself as an alignment specialist, inventor of the Roller Sizer, and co-owner of Yacht Club Subs in Naples, Florida. Lizzie shares how faith, discipline from dance, and a playful attitude have guided her through multiple life chapters from dancing in an all-Black company in Harlem and training Henry Kissinger for 11 years, to accidentally inventing the Roller Sizer while recovering from her own injuries. She explains how she uses alignment, laughter, and lived experience of pain to help people move with more ease at any age, how she balanced motherhood and business with a “helper,” and why, in her late 60s, she’s still winding up instead of winding down, taking each day as a gift and choosing to “just do it.”


    3 takeaways:

    1. Faith as the Thread Through Every Reinvention
    2. Discipline, Joy, and Lived Experience as Healing Tools
    3. Redefining Aging: Late-Life Entrepreneurship and “Just Do It”


    3 quotes:

    1. “I did not see color. I saw a dance.”
    2. “I wake up every day thinking this could be my last day, so I’m going to eat it up and enjoy all of it.”
    3. “Love is like a plant. You’ve got to water it.”



    Conclusion:

    Elizabeth Navarre Palladino shows that reinvention doesn’t have an age limit. Rooted in faith and disciplined by dance, she turns injuries into insight, work into service, and later life into a fresh season of possibility, proving that when you move with joy, tell the truth, and “just do it,” there’s always another chapter to become.

  • The Art of Becoming Again with Connie Barrow

    The Art of Becoming Again with Connie Barrow
    2026/09/15

    Connie Barrow's extraordinary life demonstrates that meaningful reinvention often begins with unexpected detours rather than carefully planned destinations. From pursuing a legal career and working internationally to becoming an acclaimed nature photographer and conservation advocate, she shares how responding positively to life's surprises opened doors she never imagined. Her stories reveal the importance of courage, persistence, curiosity, and remaining open to opportunities that appear through chance encounters and personal challenges. Connie also reflects on lessons learned from nature, her friendship with Jane Goodall, and the value of seeing beauty with both the eyes and the heart. Throughout her journey, she reminds us that fulfillment comes from listening to our inner voice, embracing creativity, and continuing to grow no matter our age.

    Takeaways

    • Reinvention doesn't require starting over—it begins by responding positively to life's unexpected changes.
    • Courage grows when we stop living by other people's expectations and start trusting our own inner compass.
    • Wonder, creativity, and curiosity can be cultivated throughout life by slowing down,
      observing nature, and remaining open to new experiences.


    Quotes

    • "If you're given a load of lemons, make lemonade."
    • "Persistence. Know what you want to say quietly. Say it, and then get on with it."
