The Aging Legacy Project: Living a New Age of Growing Old

Purpose Driven Aging TV Program

  As we journey through life, we accumulate a profound life literacy enriched with wisdom and experience. Yet, the aging process is not a linear progression; in fact, it’s often marked by sudden shifts and unexpected turns. In this era of rapid automation, burgeoning AI technologies, and pervasive uncertainty it's time to embrace a purpose-driven approach to aging.  Purpose-Driven Aging is an educational approach that’s all about navigating the evolving landscape of life with resilience and engagement. Kathy hosts a local TV program that addresses all things aging across 10 aging domains that include: health, insurance, finance, housing, care services (to choose and to avoid), protecting health and cognition among others. Knowledgeable guests frequent the show. This month’s program is live and stay tuned for ongoing monthly shows.

We offer books and publications that blend the practical realities of the aging journey with the newer experiences of an awareness voyage.

Living Aging:  A Breaking Point, A Boomer’s Guide to Protecting Health and Navigating Healthcare (2022); a wake-up call for everyone over eighteen to start taking care of their health and well-being. Included is a transition to include the inner world of personal experiences.  A Coming of Aging--a comprehensive guide through the planning process will publish later in 2024.

Experiencing Higher Consciousness: An Awakening, Clear Passage through Life's  Storms (2022); insights steering older people into an inner journey of awareness. The Second book in the series A Shift to Higher Consciousness While Living in a Material World will be published in 2025. 

This YouTube channel helps you navigate the complexities of Aging in Uncertain Times. Through my video productions, I offer practical advice and guidance for those traversing the journey of growing older. Some videos delve into the spiritual principles of inner peace and self-awareness while others provide more practical information about aging. 

 I release new content each week covering a range of topics, from aligning decisions with personal desires to understanding the realities of changing insurances, to honest reviews of senior living options, to personal insights gained from firsthand experiences as a family caregiver. 

Whether you're preparing for the aging experience or seeking a purpose-driven life, my channel provides a step-by-step guide to help you along the way. Subscribe to stay updated with the latest releases.

Twenty-four years ago, I made a bold leap from the corporate world into the realm of entrepreneurship. I made this decision after 12 years of family caregiving, where I witnessed the stark disparity between promised ideals and lived realities. Driven by a conviction that there had to be a better way, 

In 2001, I stood before an audience at the JFK Library in Boston and unveiled my vision for "A New Age of Growing Old." Despite my passion and meticulous preparation, my youth and relative inexperience in eldercare drew criticism during the presentation. Nevertheless, I pressed on, conducting a comprehensive study on elderly caregiving that garnered approval from the Executive Office of Elder Affairs (EOEA). Though the study didn't yield the anticipated results, it proved to be a profound learning experience, offering invaluable insights into the complexities of aging.

Originally aiming to pen just one book, I found myself compelled to write nine, each delving deeper into the intricacies of aging, healthcare and caregiving. Concurrently, I established a thriving care management and consulting practice, which I eventually closed in 2020. Over the years, I delivered numerous programs and presentations while exploring depths of spirituality and consciousness.

Now, with my Aging Legacy Project, I find myself coming full circle in both my personal and professional life. Having weathered the challenges, celebrated the victories, and embraced the inevitable passage of time, I stand as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Today, primarily engaging with groups online, I offer direct, honest, and unbiased insights, drawing from my wealth of experience and life lessons. Indeed, I find myself living amidst a "New Age of Growing Old," where wisdom is gleaned from the tapestry of life itself.
