Episode notes

The secret to living well and aging well lies in identifying one's passions and talents, and using them to contribute to a cause that aligns with one's values. It is about creating the kind of world one wants to live in and inspiring others to do the same. As we grow older, the need for purpose and significance becomes more pronounced. Purpose is about taking meaningful action, while significance is about feeling a sense of importance. Both are crucial for leading a fulfilling life.

We've been sold a story that aging means decline. But what if that was a lie?

My guest Karen Walrond flips the script on aging with her new book Radiant Rebellion: Reclaim Aging, Practice Joy, and Raise a Little Hell. She argues we can embrace getting older as a time of growth, joy, and possibility. Karen shares how we can rewrite narratives around aging illuminated by purpose, wisdom, levity, and curiosity. Imagine aging not as something to endure, but to embrace. Karen shows us how through exercises, perspective shifts, and reimagining living itself. Get ready to reclaim aging and live your most vibrant years ahead.
