Episode 78: Changing the Narrative on Aging

Posted on

In this episode, Rajiv Satyal and I discuss the perception of age in our community. In many South Asian cultures, there is a stigma associated with aging, and older individuals are often marginalized or overlooked in society. We need to address this problem, and I believe that by changing the narrative around age, we can create a more inclusive and compassionate community for everyone. It is time to change the narrative on aging! We must stop viewing age as a mere number and instead embrace it as a unique and transformative phase of life. Today, we look and feel younger than ever, and there is no reason to let age hold us back.

Tune in to listen to her path to the decision and her experience after taking the leap of faith.
