  • Episode 344: Life Like a Sunflower: Finding Joy in Life's Unexpected Seasons
    Oct 7 2026
    What happens when the retirement you imagined suddenly looks nothing like the life you’re living? In this episode of Aging Starts Now, Certified Elder Law Attorney Barbara McGinnis talks with Susan Haig, author of Life Like a Sunflower, about resilience, self-advocacy and finding joy after two life-changing health diagnoses. Just two years into retirement, Susan suffered a “widowmaker” heart attack after months of knowing something wasn’t right and seeking answers from multiple doctors. Less than a year later, she was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Susan shares the symptoms she experienced before her heart attack, why she believes it is so important to advocate for yourself when something doesn’t feel right, and how her Parkinson’s diagnosis changed the way she approaches each day. She also shares the inspiration behind her book, Life Like a Sunflower, and her message about turning toward the people, experiences and things that bring light and joy—even during life’s difficult seasons. Listen to this inspiring conversation about adapting when life changes unexpectedly, trusting yourself and making the most of the life you have today.
