About this listen

Is age only a number? Are the 60s the adolescence of aging? Does a lengthy life equal a live well-lived? All of these questions and more will be discussed, if not answered in this episode. Every decade of life holds its own, unique gifts and challenges. Constance and Lori will unpack the differences of being in your 60s and being in your 70s with Claudia Perez, a psychologist who specializes in working with clients navigating their 70s, 80s and even 90s. The conversation also dives into the concept of “joyspan,” a term coined by Kerry Burnight, a former professor of geriatric medicine and gerontology, to refer to an alternative way to embrace life beyond just looking at our life span as an indicator of a well-lived life.
