Episode 8: The Wisdom in the Room — Honoring Our Senior Citizens

Today we shine a light on a group of people whose lives have spanned nearly a century of extraordinary change—our senior citizens. From the moon landing to smartphones, world wars to civil rights, their lived experiences offer not just history, but wisdom, humor, humility, and heart. Joining us to help celebrate this remarkable generation is Wendy Petty, Director of the Westport Center for Senior Activities (WCSA), a vibrant community hub that’s redefining what it means to grow older with purpose, passion, and connection.

👟 In This Episode, We Cover:

  • What the Westport Senior Center is and how it serves as a dynamic, welcoming space for older adults
  • Personal reflections on volunteering, and the unexpected energy and joy found at the WCSA
  • Insightful and moving testimonials from members, including veterans, artists, former nurses. 
  • Stories that span Broadway stages, Wall Street battles, and life-changing relocations late in life
  • A heartfelt conversation with Wendy about generational empathy and the profound impact seniors have on families and communities
