Shownotes

What if aging is not a decline but an expansion? In this episode of Divine Decode, host Pragya sits down with Michael J. Dorfman to challenge everything we have been taught about growing older. At 83, Michael shares how conscious habits, mindset shifts, and purpose-driven living can transform later life into a stage of growth and vitality.

This conversation is for anyone who fears aging, feels stuck in limiting beliefs about time, or wants to improve the quality of their years. Michael introduces the idea of the “fifth stage of life” and explains how nutrition, movement, community, and meaning work together to support long-term wellbeing.
