Joan Lunden on Motherhood, Ambition, and Breaking the Rules
Joan Lunden is an award-winning journalist, bestselling author, speaker, and women’s health advocate best known for her nearly two decades on Good Morning America. A mother of seven and breast cancer survivor, she has spent her career challenging expectations for women in television, work, and family life.

In this episode, Joan sits down with Christina to discuss the loss of her father, the determination she inherited from her mother, and the chances she took to build a groundbreaking television career.

Joyspan - Stop Fearing Aging and Start Loving Your Life
Dr. Kerry Burnight is a gerontologist and the New York Times bestselling author of Joyspan: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life’s Second Half. Known as “America’s Gerontologist,” she taught geriatric medicine and gerontology for 18 years at the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine and co-founded the nation’s first Elder Abuse Forensic Center. Her work helps people approach aging with greater confidence, connection, and purpose.
In this episode, Kerry sits down with Christina to discuss why living longer isn’t enough if you aren’t enjoying your life. She introduces the concept of “joyspan” and explores how to challenge negative beliefs about aging, recognize the strengths that develop with experience, and build meaningful friendships later in life. Drawing on stories from her work and her mother, Betty, Kerry also shares how joy and grief can coexist, why small acts of kindness matter, and how a simple gratitude practice can help us find more meaning in the years ahead.

Your Kids Don’t Want Your Stuff — Here’s What to Do With It
Ann Sullivan is a professional organizer and entrepreneur who built one of New York City’s premier organizing businesses before launching FotoStori, a photo-organizing service that helps families preserve, organize, and share their photographs and memories for generations to come.
In this episode, Ann sits down with Christina to discuss letting go of the possessions that no longer serve us, organizing your home for the next chapter of life, and preserving the photographs and stories that make up a family legacy. Ann shares practical ways to make decluttering feel less overwhelming, explains why our children may not want many of the things we’ve spent decades saving, and reveals how digitizing and organizing family photos can turn boxes of forgotten memories into something future generations can actually enjoy.
