Our Kickass Boomer of the Day is “The Emotional Pro,” Ilene Dillon. Ilene is a best-selling author, speaker, marriage and family therapist, and podcast host, as well as a licensed social worker for over 45 years. Currently, she helps people all over the world through her books, which we will talk about in this episode. We will also discuss having mastery over our own emotions, putting them in motion, and living a life full of happiness. We will learn today that we, boomers, are not necessarily “old.” In fact, we can say we’re middle-aged! It’s just a matter of resetting what is called the age thermostat.
