Welcome to the Uplift Aging Podcast's debut episode! Host Amanda Wiedenfeld and special guest Nicole Gann, MS, SPHR, President & CEO of Juliette Fowler Communities, embark on a powerful conversation about the profound journey of aging. 

This episode elevates the conversation on aging by diving into the question, "What is aging, anyway?" and the duo chat about:

  • Aging is more than "just getting old"; it is a testament to a life lived and a journey of growth and wisdom.
  • It is time to shift the narrative from anti-aging to ageless, celebrating the experiences and lessons that come with age.
  • Examining and challenging our own belief systems about aging can help us create a more positive and inclusive perspective.
  • Aging is a shared experience that connects people of all ages, and we can learn from and support each other throughout the journey.

Enjoy, and don't miss Part 2 of this conversation (coming soon in Episode 2)!
