Awareness to Action with Joan Marlow: The Journey Towards Living Your Life's Purpose: Don't Be My Mom!

Did you know that 30 percent of people who fall and break a hip will die within 6 months of the fall?  What's more,  statistics share that 53 percent will experience another fall within 6 months of the first.  Hip fractures  are one of the main reason people end up in nursing homes.  Shocking but true!!

Sadly Roxanne's mom fit into this category and became a statistic; she fell and broke her hip in January of 2018 and passed away in August of that year...a mere 7-month span.

Join this sobering yet 'light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel' episode as Roxanne shares actions she took based upon her strong awareness of the prevalence of falls, especially in those 65+, coupled with her deacades-long teaching of Qigong and Tai Chi to the Parkinson's Disease community.  One such action was to write 'A Senior's Guide to Fall Prevention,' a simple guide to help empower seniors and those with debilitating health issues, focusing on self-care.  As she  shares easily implementable key practices, you'll discover that this guide for fall prevention is actually a recipe for life=-long wellbeing for all ages, especially seniors.
