In this week’s power-hour of enlightYOUment we welcome Margit Novack, an entrepreneur, thought leader and widely considered founder of the Senior Move Management industry. After decades in the field of aging and senior living, she moved away from her life of work and title to another role – author of the book, Squint: Re-visioning the Second Half of Life, speaker, and champion of a re-visioned picture of aging.
We never know where life is going to take us, but we also know sometimes we need to push ourselves to leave our comfort zone too! Life is a balancing act – an ebb and flow, rich with lessons and Margit Novack has definitely written a book full of them!
There’s a saying, “Don’t look back, you’re not going that way” …. But Margit makes the case that moving forward is made easier by looking back. From a variety of heartfelt and authentic stories to years of experiences and wisdom gained both personally and as a senior move manager, Margit shares how we can reframe and re-vision growing older to navigate the years forward with purpose and passion! From the importance of social connections, to what we can learn from our aging pets, and even life transitions and making amends, her stories and examples are tender, all-too-real, sometimes humorous and even occasionally sad, but remind us all of the importance of having insight regarding these thought-provoking conversations.
Margit also focuses on legacies – not just the kind you leave behind but also the kind you create by the life you live – something so important for each of us to consider in our aging journey towards living our best life now. From letting go, geriatric fiblets, to resolving the mystery of a purse in the freezer, it’s a must-listen from beginning to end for everyone who wishes to lean in to making the rest of the years the best of the years, even if they have to Squint to do so!
