I am Nancy Lang Gibbs your host, and this month I'm sharing some of my crazy ass dates and relationships. Last week was one of the more intense sagas, so this week, instead of the super soapy saga I was going to share, (I’ll save it for another time) I thought I’d share one that had some very funny moments before it became scary. After that, I have some one-liners from dates and almost dates that were so awful and absurd I had to write them down. Then a qui...2023-02-2726 minLoving Later LifeVIRTUAL LOVE…OR SO I THOUGHT (MY FIRST POST-DIVORCE DATING DISASTER)It’s time for me to share one of my relationship stories.

So without further judgement of myself, it is time to tell you about my first relationship post-divorce, and one of the worst. I can almost guarantee you won’t be bored!

In fact, here at Loving Later Life for the next month or so we’re going to wrap ourselves up in conversations about love, the search for love, and the stories of love—the good and the cringe worthy!

I recently watched a series on Hulu called Fleishmann’s in Trouble with Jesse Eisenberg, Claire Danes, Lizzy Caplan and Adam Brody. In my humble opinion, this series should get nominated for a plethora of awards, and I would like to thank my son for recommending I watch it. Taffy Brodesser-Akner the showrunner of the show (and author of the novel upon which it’s based) described it best: “It’s a story about middle age and marriage and divorce, and getting older and nostalgia and lifelong friendship, and parenting and career and ambition.

I took myself to my happy place this past weekend overlooking the ocean. As I sat there enveloped by the warmth of the sun, the colors of the flowers surrounding my bench, and the sound of the waves, I was inspired to open voice memo and share what came from my heart in that moment. What came out was a ten-minute stream of consciousness that I found helpful to release and perhaps there will be something you will glean from it as well.

Grief is not linear, and we all grieve differently and on our own timelines. Brene Brown was asked how long true grief lasts, and her answer was, “As long as it takes.” I believe that love in a relationship continues once someone is gone and I have witnessed this by receiving what I believe are ‘signs’ from the other side. I share unexplainable events that have happened to me after losing people I love, and also stori...2022-10-3126 minLoving Later LifeEugenia Zukerman: Renowned Flutist, CBS Sunday Morning Correspondent & Author Talks About Living with Alzheimer’s78 year-old Eugenia Zukerman is an internationally renowned flutist having played with major orchestras all over the world.

For many of us it can cause us to think of our own mortality. What would be said about us, how many or how few people would attend. For some, the reality of the shortness of life is so in your face that they rethink priorities and choices. My emotional experience with this funeral was very varied. I was thinking about it, and I decided that I could categorize most of the feelings into 4 categories. I hope you’ll come with...2022-10-1020 minLoving Later LifePausing For a Life And a DeathI had another episode planned for this week, and I’ve decided to postpone it. Instead, I'm pausing for a life and a death. For those of you who may not have seen my post on social media, my mom’s husband of almost 30 years passed away on Monday, September 26th. I just didn’t feel it was right to move forward with business as usual without taking a pause from the schedule. This is an impromptu shortcast as I pause out of respect and reflection. I hope you will join me. 2022-10-0308 minLoving Later LifeHow to Embrace Aging Despite the MediaAging. Try and avoid it at all costs. This is basically the message the media tries to convey to women. They sell us on the fact that we are not as beautiful, and not as sexy as we would be if we erased, plumped, lifted, and enhanced our aging selves. They tell us that looking younger is sexier. It’s all about fighting aging instead of embracing it. They drill into our psyche that it’s a bad thing to look older. In an infomercial I saw recently, the main point being rubbed into our brain was that we shou...2022-09-2627 minLoving Later LifeIs Quitting Really a Bad Thing?Is quitting really a bad thing?

In this episode I have a lot of fun sharing some of my past experiences living my dream working in television which was made possible because of my decision to quit something else…which was not a popular decision at the time amongst my village of people. I take an opportunity to shout out to my favorite acting teacher an...2022-09-1924 minLoving Later LifePersonal Growth Can Have its CostsI wasn’t sure what I wanted to talk about this week until I saw a post from Mel Robbins online. If you’re not familiar with her she’s a lawyer, TV host, author, and motivational speaker. Her post said, “8 important signs that mean you’re growing.” When I saw that, I knew exactly what I wanted to talk about. I have been experiencing a lot of growth of late, and it has definitely been like throwing a rock in a lake and seeing the ripple effect. Some great, some not so great.

I can’t believe we’re turning the corner to Fall and then the holidays already, again. The seasons we are falling into, pardon the pun, are of things dying annnnd recognizing the beauty that also surrounds it. Finding beauty in dying is usually challenging. For most of my life I had total fear around it, which I think began when I was 13 when my great uncle passed away. It was my first experience with someone I was close with dying. He was bigger than life and everybody loved Uncle Sam. My family flew to C...2022-09-0555 minLoving Later LifeThe Story of How Nancy Faced a Big Fear and Long-Time Mind-F*ck; and the Unanticipated EndingThis episode is a follow up to a story that began in Episode 2 of Loving Later Life.

As I was getting my thoughts together about how best to share the experience of what happened, my mind went off on a creative tangent in a very different direction. This episode has turned into something that wasn’t at all planned and I decided why the hell not. So here it is! I’ve had so much fun putting this together and I thin...2022-08-2923 min
