What is 7EveryMinute about? What does 7EveryMinute even mean?

7EveryMinute is a podcast by, for, and about older adults, typically Baby Boomers and GenXers. The name was the rate that Baby Boomers were retiring when we first started back in June of 2019, but that number continues to increase when taken in total.

We are all about reenvisioning your life, no matter what your age, so that you are ableto live life more on your terms and less about how “society” or your friends and family think you should be living.

 What does that actually mean in practice?

• Helping you to discover, or rediscover, your true life vision.

•  Learning to set meaningful goals so that every day can feel more fulfilling.

•  Tips and tricks for motivation, such as identifying the real reasons behind what often seem to be meaningless chores and tasks.

•  Discovering useful information about Natural Health and news about classic Western medicine.

•  Interviews with interesting people from all walks of life on topics like finances,retirement, second careers, health and wellness.

• And much more.

This led us to create learning materials and a community focused on guiding us through this brand-new life phase of life, where our chronological age says we should retire, but our biological age says we will likely have decades more to live and contribute.

Why is this relevant to you?

A lot has changed since our parents’ time. Pensions mostly disappeared, health carecosts have soared, there were periods of high inflation, and much more. But there werealso many benefits. Quality of health and life has improved for many people, lifeexpectancy is much longer, there are many changes in society that make living withlimited disabilities somewhat easier, there are loads of technological inventions that make
