Growing Old Sucks - But it Doesn’t Have To

This week, on The Conscious Consultant Hour , Sam welcomes Co-Authors *Mark Alyn & Servet Hasan*. *Growing Old Sucks* ( https://d38rqs2egh08o4.cloudfront.net/link_click/iUPAGsaT1S_bl3fj/8b366ded4c04f71bfad8d6be09f84021 ) ! We’ve all said it. Sure, there are some bad things about getting older, but the good things far outweigh the bad. As we age, we gain experience and wisdom (at least some of us do), we mellow and ripen (some of us smell like old cheese too) and we have freedoms that we never had while we were young. Talking with people is what *Mark Alyn* is all about. He is super nosey, which has helped him become an award-winning talk show host and producer. With more than 30,000 interviews spanning at least 10 years, he has chatted with business leaders, health pros, politicians and people on the street. He has anchored local news, reported in the field and hosted a movie trivia program. As a former restaurant and food critic, he never gets invited to dinner. *Servet Hasan* is the award-winning author of Life in Transition, An Intuitive Path to New Beginnings, as well as The Intuitive Heart of Romance and Tune Him In, Turn Him On (all published by Llewellyn Worldwide, Ltd). A student of the mystic masters of the Far East, Hasan is also a renowned motivational speaker who inspires others through her television and radio appearances, live seminars, and workshops. Born in Pakistan, she is also a citizen of England, Canada and the United States. She considers herself a spiritual ambassador of the world.

One, a quote from the universe. The other, from Abraham. Both powerful quotes that are meant to inspire listeners and add value into their life. Not letting the fear of failure interfere with one’s purpose in life. Sam uses his book, Everyday Awakening, as an example of a tie when he didn’t let the “what if’s” interfere with his process. When you quiet the negative voices in your head, great things can happen. *Segment 2* Sam introduces his guests, Mark Alyn and Servet Hasan! Together they begin to explain the inspiration behind their new book, “Growing Old Sucks But It Doesn’t Have To” and talk about why they felt it was important to have both a male and female perspective. They say they feel it’s important to know that change comes from within and not fighting who we’re becoming. Servet also explains why she is against the term “anti-aging” because if we aren’t aging - we’re dead. *Segment 3* Mark talks how the times have changed, what was acceptable at an old age back in his day opposed to now. Servet talks how women feel as they age and the unfair idea that men get better as they age and women appear worse. For example, gray hair on a man tends to make him look “distinguished” while gray hair on a woman makes her look the opposite. They also touch on how to make the most of your life by being the best friend, parent, coworker, neighbor, you can be. *Segment 4* Sam asks Mark to give advice to people who are starting to feel themselves aging and need a pep-talk on ways to stay energized in life. His advice involves exciting changes like having sex in the kitchen, cooking a new meal you’ve been wanting to try, going on an adventure. Servet’s advice involves keeping up with medical checkups, making exercise a priority, finding hobbies you love, and healthy doses of red wine! These are just some practices and more that can be found in their book. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-conscious-consultant-hour8505/donations
