What does life look like when you not only reach 100—but keep thriving? Author Merilyn Simonds spent three years walking and talking each week with her dear friend Beth Robinson, who is now 104 years old. Their conversations—captured in Walking with Beth—explore friendship, purpose, creativity, and relevance in a world that changes dramatically over the course of a century. Beth’s story is extraordinary: she worked until 97, drove until 103, and still creates art every day.In this episode, we explore what it means to add decades to our lives—not just in years but in meaning. How do we stay physically healthy, emotionally resilient, and intellectually alive as the decades pass? And how can friendships sustain us through the inevitable changes of aging? Whether you’re in your sixties looking ahead, or decades younger and curious about your future self, this conversation offers timeless insight on what it means to truly age well.
