Mondays with Mayra - Living Life Forward, Sharing Wisdom Back Transistor (https://transistor.fm) https://feeds.transistor.fm/mondays-with-mayra-living-life-forward-sharing-wisdom-back I am Dr. Mayra Fernandez. I have a doctorate in multicultural education from the University of San Francisco so you know that this space is going to be full of learning, respect and curiosity. In each session, we will explore new topics, share stories and learn from each other. Imagine meeting new people from different backgrounds and having meaningful conversations that open your mind and bring fresh perspectives to your own upcoming or present senior years! It is also a warm and welcoming space where you will be encouraged to listen, share and just have fun. Whether you want to dive into a new subject with me, share your own experiences, or simply enjoy the company of people I will interview, Mondays with Mayra has something for seniors and about-to-be-seniors. It is a call. A serious call to Elderhood, so that together we can combat old biases about aging, above all, our own! I hope you will join us for this journey of discovery, connection and enjoyment. It will be a time to learn, laugh and leap together to new horizons! See you every Monday at 10:00 a.m. Pacific. You are welcomed to see this video on your own time and day on Facebook and on YouTube.

]]> Father's Day we meet Miguel Santini, an extraordinary man who has come from the proverbial Rags to Riches while involving and lifting up his family. Miguel Santini started selling used tires, then his own mechanic shop, then learning how to repair and paint cars, (body shop) then to get government contracts to repair government cars, then jump to diesel trucks! And surely there's another "then..." in his life. But Miguel Santini is a husband and father first and he has taught his children to work beside him.

In a brutal act of violence, a husband slashes his wife’s throat. As blood pours and hope fades, it’s her 6-year-old son who springs into action, saving her life. She escapes, collapsing in the street—until a doctor, by sheer miracle, happens to walk by.
But this isn’t just a story of survival.
It’s a story of transformation.
Against all odds, she recovers. Then she chooses something extraordinary: to turn her pain into purpose. She rises—not just for herself or her son, but for countless others.
She makes history.
Watch the incredible true story of a woman who refused to let trauma define her—and instead, built a legacy from it.

I have a doctorate in multicultural education from the University of San Francisco so you know that this space is going to be full of learning, respect and curiosity. In each session, we will explore new topics, share stories and learn from each other.

Imagine meeting new people from different backgrounds and having meaningful conversations that open your mind and bring fresh perspectives to your own upcoming or present senior years! It is also a warm and welcoming space where you will be encouraged to listen, share and just have fun. Whether you want to dive into a new subject with me, share your own experiences, or simply enjoy the company of people I will interview, Mondays with Mayra has something for seniors and about-to-be-seniors.
It is a call. A serious call to Elderhood, so that together we can combat old biases about aging, above all, our own!

I hope you will join us for this journey of discovery, connection and enjoyment. It will be a time to learn, laugh and leap together to new horizons!

So this is the first albeit, short, episode of Mondays with Mayra. In the future with your suggestions,I will interview fascinating elders with lots to share about their current lives. With my camera I will take you to interesting places and events. We will have fun just being ourselves and sharing, sharing, sharing!

See you every Monday at 10:00 a.m. Pacific. You are welcomed to see this video on your own time and day on Facebook and on YouTube.

If I had known turning 70 would be so wonderful,
       I would have turned 70 a long time ago!©
