  Aging Unscripted Season 2 Ep 6 Aging With Intention - Finding Purpose

  Jun 16, 202632 minS2

  On this episode of Aging Unscripted, we explore a powerful question: What if retirement isn’t the end of your purpose, but the beginning of your most meaningful chapter yet? Host Jill Vitale-Aussem and co-host Pam Sullivan sit down with Kristi Doan, a Community Builder with The Eden Alternative to challenge outdated ideas about aging, retirement, and community life. Together, they unpack the difference between simply staying busy and living with true purpose. From resident-directed living and meaningful engagement to creating cultures of contribution, citizenship, and connection, this conversation explores how older adults can continue to grow, lead, and thrive in every season of life. Sounds great! But how does this approach impact senior living – the results may surprise you. If you’ve ever wondered how we can move beyond “aging safely” toward aging fully, this episode is for you.

  Apr 15, 202629 minS2

  <p>What happens when best intentions cross the line into being too controlling?</p> <p>In this episode of Aging Unscripted, we explore the powerful, and sometimes uncomfortable, truth behind the phrase: “You’re Not the Boss of Me.”</p> <p>As we age, autonomy isn’t just a preference; it’s deeply tied to identity, dignity, and overall well-being.
