On our podcast – At Home, On Air – we welcome Jennie Chin Hansen, the immediate past CEO of the American Geriatrics Society, former President of AARP, previous Executive Director of On Lok, and a longtime community advocate.
In this forward-looking conversation, Jennie draws from her lifelong career in the field of aging as well as her own personal aging journey. She discusses the strength that comes with older age — why living with agency while experiencing the normal changes of aging is essential to our wellbeing.
Jennie challenges us to rethink interdependence: how can we nourish our connections across generations and build "new muscles" by working alongside younger people, acknowledging our differences rather than avoiding them?
She speaks to the responsibility that comes with being an older adult — to share our resources and take care of those who come behind us, to be soldiers of caretaking and the collective good, keeping the flow going for generations to come.
This is a conversation that will shift how you see your own aging journey — and inspire you to build the intergenerational connections our world desperately needs.
