Description

What if everything you thought you knew about aging was wrong? In this episode of Beyond the Bestseller, I chat with Corinne Auman, author of Keenagers: Telling a New Story About Aging, about the outdated stereotypes surrounding older adulthood—and why it’s time to rewrite the narrative. Corinne introduces the concept of “keenagers”, redefining what it means to live with purpose, passion, and engagement well beyond traditional retirement age.

We explore:

• The inspiration behind the term “keenagers” and why older adults are living more vibrant, active lives than ever before.
• How societal expectations around retirement and aging create unnecessary pressure and limit potential.
• The importance of purpose, connection, and continuous growth at every stage of life.
• Corinne’s personal journey in gerontology and how her experiences shaped the message of her book.
• The writing process behind Keenagers and how Corinne found the accountability to finally bring her book to life.

Corinne’s perspective will challenge your assumptions about aging, inspire you to rethink what’s possible in later life, and remind you that it’s never too late to start something new.
