Healed Living in Your Golden Years: A Baby Boomer's Guide to Healing, Purpose & Resilience
Welcome to The Neighborhood, where we get all up in your business talking about Self, Family, Friends, and Finances. This season premiere kicks off our "Healed" season with a powerful conversation about what healing and mental wellness really look like for Baby Boomers (ages 61–79) navigating life's golden years.
Host Inertia Justice explores the unique healing journey of Black and Brown Boomers who witnessed civil rights movements, built legacies, and now have the space to prioritize their own well-being. This isn't just another self-help episode—it's a celebration of generational wisdom, resilience, and the courage it takes to shift from survival mode to truly living.
In this episode, you'll discover:
Why Baby Boomers are the first generation actively healing from generational trauma

Powerful Quotes from This Episode:
"If you have spent the majority of your life surviving, I know it might sound strange but now it's time to live."
"Healing isn't the same as being invulnerable. It's resilience—the ability to bend without breaking, to hope again and again, to find reasons to keep loving, trying, growing."
"Being healed isn't about never having been wounded; but that it's about rewriting what those wounds mean and how they have enriched your life and strengthened your character."
