In this episode of Students of Aging, host Jeff Young speaks with "Super Senior" Sandra Thompson about her remarkable life journey—from her childhood in a northern Ontario mining town to pursuing nursing and social work, and advocating passionately for women's financial and mental health.
Sandra shares her experiences overcoming societal expectations, returning to university at age 40, and the importance of self-advocacy at every stage of life. Tune in as she reflects on the realities of aging, maintaining resilience, and continuing to live life on her own terms.
Students of Aging is funded by the Government of Canada's New Horizons for Seniors Program.
