What I’ve Learned About Aging from Our Guests and My Own Journey
In my milestone episode, I take a moment to reflect on some of the biggest lessons learned from years of conversations, stories, and experiences in aging and senior care. Whether you’re working in the aging space, an older adult yourself, or caring for someone you love, here are a few key takeaways you might find valuable:
Be Prepared, Beyond the Financials
So many guests have talked about planning ahead—not just financially, but also emotionally and socially. It’s easy to put off these conversations but essential for a smoother journey as we age.
Good People (and Programs) Are Out There
While we often hear about sad stories in senior care, there are still so many passionate people and service organizations making a big difference in the lives of older adults. Why we do what we do really matters!
Stay Connected & Share Your Stories
If there’s one thread throughout every episode, it’s the power of connection and storytelling. Staying connected not only combats loneliness but also keeps our stories—and those of our loved ones—alive.
Thanks to our amazing listeners for engaging, sharing feedback, and being part of the conversation. Here’s to continuing this journey together! If you have topics you’d like to see covered, I’d love to hear from you.
