What happens when best intentions cross the line into being too controlling?
In this episode of Aging Unscripted, we explore the powerful, and sometimes uncomfortable, truth behind the phrase: “You’re Not the Boss of Me.”
As we age, autonomy isn’t just a preference; it’s deeply tied to identity, dignity, and overall well-being. Yet families, caregivers, and even professionals often step in with the best intentions when supporting an older adult and unintentionally take over. Our guests for this enlightening discussion are Clinical Dietician, Clint Rasti and long-time nurse and clinical leader Angela Allen, two people dedicated to well-being, but their perspectives may surprise you when it comes to retaining autonomy for older adults. Tune in for the lively and insightful chat.
