Episode # 1
As we get older we’re told to keep moving. Maybe you’ve heard the line “motion is lotion!” We think that’s true. Listen to story sharers as they talk about their favourite activities and strategies that keep them moving. Hosted by Nancy Angus, the founder of Age BIG and retired CBC journalist and bon vivant Cathy Alex.
Episode # 2
Join Nancy Angus from Age BIG and Cathy Alex as we feature BIG stories about nurturing. There's Leslie's story about pushing a granddaughter on a swing and Cathy's story about trying to tame wild lupins! Enjoy the listen!
Episode # 3
Your BIG life is worth writing about! In this episode, Nancy shares the W5+1 strategy. Pick up a pen, set the timer for 10 minutes and get started. Listen as Nancy and Brook talk about dogs and more!
Episode # 4
Life is all about surprises. Some of the surprises make us laugh, while others stop us in our tracks. This episode looks at surprise and how it pops into our lives without warning. As Jimmy Buffett once said “Searching is half the fun: life is much more manageable when thought of as a scavenger hunt as opposed to a surprise party.” Hosted by Nancy Angus.
If you’ve lived a long life you’ve probably collected LOTS of BIG stories along the way. Sit back and listen to seasoned folks as they share stories they’ve written in TEN minutes that will make you richer for just listening. This episode we feature stories written by Pat Harris and Jean Killens. Enjoy!
This podcast is dedicated to Cathy Alex who passed away in January 2026.
When we taped our first two podcast episodes in September 2025, we thought it was the beginning of a wonderful journey together. We had first met at the local CBC radio station and reunited again behind the microphones for this podcast 30 years later.
Cathy loved BIG. She loved the outdoors, swimming, family, friends, singing, laughing, animals, bold earrings and stories. It’s my honour to call her a friend and a mentor. I’m so grateful we were able to record a few episodes of Older & Wiser together. Make time for the things that matter – try to have a little fun everyday – eat ice cream and tell stories!
We love you, Cathy.
