Who decides what it means to grow older? In this engaging continuation of their conversation, host Jesse Cohoon and award-winning journalist Moira Welsh explore fresh perspectives on aging, challenging conventional views and highlighting the creativity, resilience, and untapped potential of older adults. Moira discusses the hidden financial realities many older women face, exploring how caregiving, career interruptions, and systemic issues shape their later years, as explored in her upcoming book, The Astonishing Lives of Older Women in a World Defined by Money and Men.
Jesse and Moira also discuss innovative alternatives to traditional senior care, from naturally occurring retirement communities (NORCs) to smaller, more personalized housing solutions. Tune in as they spotlight practical ideas to build communities where seniors are seen not as burdens but as vibrant, valuable members with meaningful contributions to make.
