Living Life to the Fullest: Meet the Founder of Aging but Dangerous!","description":"When you think of senior women living life to the fullest, you might not imagine 107 women between the ages of 50 and 80 jumping out of a plane and skydiving. For Jean Ketcham, this fits perfectly into her international movement Aging but Dangerous\u00ae \u2013 and this event actually helped kick it off!Aging but Dangerous aims to inspire women 50 and older to control their destinies and make their dreams come true. It has gained buzz, with thousands of newsletter subscribers and features in TIME Magazine, NBC news and more. Jean explains to Senior Services Expert Lori Williams about how this movement was born from a need for women to abandon self-limiting mindsets as they age - and how it has blossomed into fashion shows, annual skydiving events, colonoscopy parties(!), virtual happy hours and a sense of community connecting women from all over.Topics discussed:- Staying positive as you age-\u00a0Senior women social group-\u00a0Living life with attitude-\u00a0Getting outside your comfort zone-\u00a0Virtual events for senior women-\u00a0Eliminating fear around aging-\u00a0Senior women empowermentTakeaways from this episode:-\u00a0Aging but Dangerous was created as an environment for women to open up, communicate and experience the \u201csenior\u201d phase of life together - by experiencing life head-on.-\u00a0If you have a positive attitude about life and \u201cmake your own sunshine,\u201d so much good can come from it, and there will always be something worth celebrating.-\u00a0It\u2019s important for women to share their feelings and experiences during the aging process since they\u2019ll all go through it.-\u00a0If your life isn\u2019t going the way you\u2019d like, change it.
