Close to the Heart: Breast Cancer—What We Need to Know | Episode 37

Knowing the ribbon isn’t the same as knowing what to look for.

In Episode 37, Klip Eastwood welcomes a three-guest panel for an interactive conversation about breast cancer awareness. Five multiple-choice questions challenge common assumptions before we explore progress since the 1970s, racial disparities, why men overlook breast cancer, warning signs, and the barriers that keep people from getting care.

We also discuss how to show up for someone facing a diagnosis. Answer along, consider what

Gray Beards Matter Podcast, Episode 36 – Still Here: Celebrating the Survivor

The Survivor Series has taken us through some deep and difficult conversations. We’ve talked about grief, abuse, addiction, illness, mental health, caregiving, and the battles people fight every day. Tonight, we shift the focus. Episode 36 is about recognizing the survivor — not just for what they went through, but for what they’re doing now. Sometimes surviving looks like getting back up. Sometimes it looks like going to work, raising your family, asking for help, setting a boundary, trustin

Gray Beards Matter Podcast | Episode 34 — Same Umbrella, Different Storm: Brooklyn’s Story Continues

Same umbrella. Different storm. In Episode 34 of the Gray Beards Matter Podcast, Brooklyn returns to continue the story we began last week. Part one took us through years of physical, mental, and emotional abuse, betrayal, family trauma, self-harm, and moments when Brooklyn questioned whether she wanted to continue living. Tonight, we go further — not simply into what happened to her, but into what happened next. What does healing look like after survival? How do you learn to trust again? Wha

Gray Beards Matter Podcast, Episode 35 – What Does Surviving Actually Mean?

What does surviving actually mean? Throughout the Survivor Series, we’ve heard powerful stories of people facing domestic violence, grief, health battles, emotional struggles, trauma, and circumstances that changed their lives. But survival doesn’t always look the same. Sometimes surviving means making it through the event. Sometimes it means dealing with everything that comes afterward. And sometimes, survival is simply refusing to let what happened yesterday determine what happens tomorrow.
