EP 44 Telling a New Story About Aging

Are you ready to rethink everything you thought you knew about aging?

Please meet Corinne Aumon, PhD, a developmental psychologist, keynote speaker, and the founder of Choice Care Navigators, where she empowers seniors and their families to navigate the complexities of aging with confidence and clarity.

She’s also the author of Keenagers: Telling a New Story About Aging, a powerful book that challenges outdated narratives and highlights the opportunities that come with age.

With her expertise in geriatric care management and anti-ageism advocacy, Dr. Corinne is the perfect guest for this intergenerational conversation on how we can all rethink and redefine aging—at any stage of life!

This episode was streamed to a live audience, and I hope you enjoy the recorded version as much as I do!

Dr. Corinne and I pulled apart the myths of aging and dismantled outdated ideas about what it really means to thrive in this exciting stage of life. 

From calling out well-intended but patronizing comments to rewriting the narrative around aging, we covered it all!  

Dr. Corinne shared powerful insights from her book Keenagers and gave us real, actionable ways to challenge ageist language (including the sneaky kind we internalize ourselves!).  

Whether you’re navigating the 60+ life or supporting loved ones in their later years, Dr. Corrine’s insights will leave you inspired and empowered.

Tune in and let's crush ageism together!

Waving from Boston – cheers!
