Episode #564: Staying Mentally Sharp as You Age—Rethinking Where and How You Live with Sandra Beck, Amanda Lambert & Leslie Eckford
Monday, 18 May, 2026
Sandra Beck of Military Mom Talk Radio speaks with bestselling authors and aging-life experts Amanda Lambert and Leslie Eckford about what it really means to stay mentally sharp as you get older—and why your living environment plays a bigger role than most people realize. Drawing from their book Choose Your Place: Rethinking Home As You Age, they challenge the default assumptions about aging and independence. This isn’t about settling—it’s about making intentional choices. From cohousing communities to living abroad, shared housing, or multigenerational homes, they explore real options people are using to maintain control, connection, and cognitive vitality. The conversation also addresses the practical side—how to plan ahead without locking yourself into rigid decisions, how to adapt as circumstances change, and how to avoid the common traps that lead to isolation or loss of autonomy. If you’re thinking about the next phase of life—or helping someone else navigate it—this episode offers a clear-eyed look at how to stay engaged, independent, and mentally strong. Military Mom Talk Radio is also available on Audible, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, Stitcher, Player FM, and Podcast Addict.
