Monday Tips with host Lillian Cauldwell spotlights timeless wisdom from a vibrant 96-year-old on living longer and thriving. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the number of Americans aged 100 and older is projected to quadruple over the next three decades — from 101,000 in 2024 to over 422,000 by 2054.
Dr. Laura Carstensen, director of the Stanford Center on Longevity, calls this shift The Longevity Revolution. Her book, A Bright Future: An Action Plan for a Lifetime of Happiness, Health, and Financial Security, outlines how society must adapt with new products, housing alternatives, policies, and services to meet the evolving needs of aging populations. Living longer means navigating more transitions.
One of the keys Inner strength — that resilient core, especially in women, that rises to meet whatever life throws your way. Another tip: You still matter. It’s not about what others think — it’s about how you carry yourself, the choices you face, and the tenacity to own them. Keep your brain sharp with games, puzzles, and fresh learning.
Lillian’s own grandmother, at 96, completed New York Times crosswords in ink — a bold move in the '70s era of erasable pencils. Stay open to new ideas. Whether it's launching a new career, forming meaningful relationships, or diving into unexpected opportunities, don't let life pass you by. Life is a gift. Use it well.
