New Episode Alert!

What does it mean to age?

For some, aging is about gaining wisdom. For others, it’s about slowing down. As societies change, so does our definition of aging—and the way we treat our seniors.

I had the privilege of sitting down with Dr. Rose Joudi, a researcher, consultant, and international speaker whose work focuses on ethnocultural diversity, elder abuse, and ageism.

In our conversation, we explored:
✨ How the meaning of aging has shifted in recent years
✨ What elder abuse looks like—and why it’s often hidden in plain sight
✨ The powerful role cultural beliefs play in shaping how families and communities view seniors
✨ Why community support isn’t just helpful, it's essential

This episode is a reminder that aging is not just a personal journey—it’s a collective responsibility.

While many of us juggle school drop-offs, work, and daily life, we may not always be there for our loved ones who need care. That’s where our incredible hashtag (PSWs) step in.
Ever wondered what a PSW's day looks like? What kind of support do they need to keep doing this essential work?
