Morgan sits down with three extraordinary residents of Abe’s Garden — Dave, Sandra, and Carol — whose life stories are rich with love, loss, resilience, and reinvention. Dave reflects on his 24 years in the Navy, the serendipitous moment he met his wife, and his candid thoughts on the state of the world. Sandra shares how she became a first-time published author at 83, and why getting divorced was one of the best things that ever happened to her. And Carol opens up about her 56-year marriage, raising five children, and the quiet strength it takes to face life’s twists and turns. These heartfelt conversations are full of humor, wisdom, and timeless reminders that it’s never too late to grow, dream, and keep writing your story.

Often times our senior communities get forgotten or overlooked, but we're hoping to change that with this new series. Morgan & her dog Remi found a special family in Abe's Garden, a senior living community they've volunteered at for over 3 years. Morgan is bringing on the COO, a manager of community programs, and a life engagement manager to show the inner workings of senior living so that we may all have a better understanding as our own families age. They share how they got into this line of work, the need for involvement, and understanding how to support our loved ones as they enter this season of life.

Niall Harbison's addiction landed him in the hospital, but that moment changed the course of his life. In his recovery, he moved to Thailand where he began feeding street dogs. What was once one dog, turned into thousands. His book Tina: The Dog Who Changed The World is all about the journey and Tina, the rescue dog who stole his heart. Niall is Morgan's favorite account to follow on Instagram for all his efforts to change the world for the better, especially for rescue dogs. His story is all about second chances and inspiring us to leave things a little kinder than we find them.
