Music is a powerful vibrational healing force. Dr. Carol Port Rosenstein, a chiropractor and transformational psychologist, has witnessed its impact countless times while working with patients suffering from neurodegenerative diseases, traumatic brain injury, stroke and PTSD, as well as their caregivers and families. Dr. Rosenstein became intrigued by the power of music as a form of acoustic art and therapy after observing her husband who had Parkinson’s and dementia, playing on the piano while on minimal medication: She watched him revive like a thirsty flower being watered. Witnessing this brain changing power of music led to her to founding Music Mends Minds, Inc., and establishing their flagship band, The 5th Dementia. Today, via Music Mends Minds, she continues to advocate for the power of music as medicine, which is corroborated by the scientific community to bring pure joy and increased brain function to patients and their families.

This is now my second interview with Anthony Celano, a former NYC Police Detective who after retiring from the department and then subsequently working for many successful years at the helm of his private security firm -- began writing crime fiction books. (First interview here.).

Listen to both of these interviews. Mr. Celano is a very low-key humble gentleman who shares tremendous depth and insight into people-skills -- as well as writing -- if you listen closely.

Welcome to the Silver Disobedience® Podcast! Many of us would like to age in place -- meaning in the very home we are now currently living. Some of us will be caregivers for aging parents or others who may be joining us in our homes or elsewhere. Some people will be aging well -- yet this does not mean without normal aging challenges.

Welcome to the Silver Disobedience! I'm Dian Griesel your host. My guest for this episode is Ginni Conquest, Senior Agent at Wilhelmina Models for 40 years and a prolific writer of romance novels! In this podcast, Ginni will share how she balances her life and her process to get it all done! Born in New Jersey, Ginni found her love of writing romance stories a few years ago. With a bit of intrigue, scandal, conflict and love, she enjoys creating these sweet and sexy stories that her readers can identify with. Ginni attributes her younger years of reading Harlequin romance books for putting her on the path she is on now. Song of the Heart: The Beginning, and the next five books in this series, come from her love of music while singing in her own original rock band in New York City in the late 80s and early 90s. It’s been a dream of Ginni’s to write a Rock Star Romance series where she can call upon her own experiences of what it takes to be in a rock band. Her book “Unlawful Love” MC Club Romance book was one of the stories featured in the “Locked Up/Lawyered Up” Anthology Series through TNT/NYC. Teaming up with Amazon Best Selling Author Barbara Nolan, both writers supplied “crossover” stories which are now published as standalone novels through Amazon. Ginni’s Christmas story, “Believe and It Will Happen,” was part of another Anthology Series, “Mistletoe Over Manhattan,” that made the Amazon Best Seller Anthology list in Australia and Canada. Celebrating her 40th Anniversary as Senior Agent at Wilhelmina Models in NYC, Ginni juggles her writing time in the evenings and weekends. She resides in New Jersey with her husband and adorable Basset Hounds, Sammy and Jameson. She loves motorcycle riding, Cape May and 80s hard rock, especially KISS, Foreigner, Queensryche and Pat Benatar.

Spirituality is typically seen as a personal journey of self-discovery, growth & connection to something greater than oneself. Once sense of spirituality may or may not be connected to a particular religion. People often speak about becoming “more” spiritual. Today, I’d like to discuss the idea of not becoming spiritually superior, but rather attaching ourselves to those ideas and actions that are spiritually superior.  In this podcast, I’ll break this down into two concepts.

One of my favorite things to observe and study is the phenomenon called the “continued influence effect” which is where misinformation or misleading information continues to influence people's beliefs & judgments even after the misinformation has been corrected or debunked. CIE highlights the lingering impact of false or inaccurate information on individuals' thoughts and subsequent decision-making processes.  I think societally this has accelerated. This is one of my longer podcasts -- but I think it may be one of the most important I'll ever record. In under 20 minutes I will explain how continued influence effect (CIE) impacts you and how you see the world. I'll also share strategies to develop greater critical thinking, as well as exercises you can test to help you understand the motivation behind holding onto conscious and unconscious perceptions that we hold near and dear -- even if they involve faulty, outdated thinking.

Do you blame others for things going wrong in your life? Be honest. It's a big temptation and we all do it to some degree or another. But we also know: It doesn't feel good. Blaming is always following by needing to apologize and hoping that our outburst is forgotten. So why do we do it? Blaming others is actually a serious sign of how self-critical and unloved we feel. In this episode, I'm going to share thoughts on the blame game; why we do it; and most importantly: what we can do to stop.

Do you re-act? When we find ourselves instantly & defensively reacting to a comment often this is because we are pulling information from old memory files. Instead of being present in the brand new moment -- that while it may feel familiar, is still actually a wholly new moment -- we "re-act" drawing on unconscious feelings gathered from past situation.

While it's quite common to have friends who are our own age -- are we missing out by not making friends with people who are both younger and older than we are?

It seems to me that throughout our lives, we are either told to “act our age” or we spend time worrying about “becoming our age.” What’s up with our cultural issues regarding aging? Why don’t we just relax, welcome and embrace the benefits of the years we have lived? Good question! I think it is due to the socialization processes that we all go through from the day we're born. We're told what to do, how to do it, when to do it and more -- and we're often left doubting ourselves and worrying about if we're doing life right. This leads to all kinds of worries, anxiety & confidence issues. The goal for each of my essays—on this podcast, in my books and on my daily blog—has remained constant: By sharing what my readers view as “practical, relatable yet challenging thoughts,” perhaps others can engage with my musings and find them to be comforting as we explore our connectedness and release many of the feelings of “aloneness” that we all grapple with to one degree or another throughout our lives. This dream has been realized beyond my wildest imaginings, thanks to the willingness of the hundreds of thousands who participate in a daily conversation on my website and social media accounts. The comments following each Silver Disobedience blog are as insightful and honest as I hope each of my essays is. This mutual dialog continues to be immensely heartwarming and underscores the joys of unanticipated “aging” consequences. Clearly, there is a collective desire to understand ourselves, our responsibilities and our relationships—including our desire to confront our differences in constructive ways instead of simply holding on to the need to be “right.” The ongoing conversation confirms that the essence of “Who we are” doesn’t change very much as we age—yet, we appear to believe wholeheartedly that each year has helped us to become better in myriad ways.

There are many kinds of friendships that we will develop throughout our lives -- from acquaintances, casual, work, close, social and besties. All of our friendships are important and they each have the ability to fulfill our different needs for human connection. Yet, it is very important to understand the differences between our varying friendships because much like most relationships, they are rarely one-size-fits all. IF we believe otherwise, we may be putting too much pressure on the relationship which might cause us to lose it or feel otherwise disappointed.

There was a time that few questioned going to work or going out for dinners, dancing and fun. Then things changed. Suddenly, these simple basic choices were beyond our control. Such a startling loss of these everyday freedoms has left a residual impact for many and made some of us question or doubt our abilities to gather with friends, start new relationships, get back into office culture and to simply say "Hello" or "Let's get together."
