At 65, lymphoma survivor Mary Cowan Lundquist set out to climb Wyoming's Grand Teton—a 13,775-foot mountain towering over Jackson Hole.

In this episode of Crazy Good Aging, Mary shares how cancer treatment changed her body and ended her dream of climbing Mount Everest—but never ended her love for challenge, movement, and adventure.

She talks about training for the Grand Teton, learning to climb and rappel, rebuilding trust in her body after cancer, and why taking "minimum viable steps" can help us face any mountain in life.

Mary and her climbing partner reached the saddle, but extreme conditions—including 45 mph sustained winds, 75 mph gusts, rain, freezing temperatures, and ice—made it unsafe to continue to the summit.

Even without reaching the peak, Mary's journey is a powerful reminder that courage, preparation, and showing up matter. If you are navigating a new chapter, recovering from a setback, starting over, or simply wondering what is still possible after 50, this conversation is for you.

A routine scan revealed a suspicious 3.1-centimeter mass in Dorthy's lung—even though she felt completely healthy and had no symptoms.

She also discusses seeking multiple medical opinions, evaluating conflicting treatment recommendations and relying on faith and a positive outlook while preparing for surgery.

Her message for anyone facing a suspicious scan: Act promptly, ask questions, advocate for yourself and seek another opinion when necessary.

Have you ever felt invisible after a certain age?

In this episode of Crazy Good Ageing, Prime Women co-founders Dorthy Shore and Valerie Freeman explore the Age Without Limits movement and the persistent ageism women face in media, the workplace, dating, advertising, and everyday life.

Fifteen years ago, Dorthy and Valerie along with two other co-founders launched Prime Women because they were tired of seeing women over 50 ignored by mainstream media.

Today, they're asking why so many stereotypes about aging still exist—and why women continue to prove them wrong every day. In this episode, we discuss:

✔ Why women often become "invisible" after 50

✔ Ageism in advertising and media

✔ Dating after 50 and double standards

✔ Starting businesses later in life

✔ Learning technology and adapting to change

✔ Why confidence, friendships, and authenticity improve with age

✔ The Age Without Limits movement and what it means for women today

Whether you're 50, 60, 70, or beyond, this conversation will challenge assumptions about aging and remind you that your most exciting chapter may still be ahead.
