Growing Older Together | Facing Fears, Embracing Resilience

Growing Older Together is a podcast for older adults, centered on the stories, memories, and changes that shape how we see ourselves over time.

All solo episodes are under 15 minutes and explore themes like identity, fear, aging, and personal growth. Interview episodes are longer and released as part of the ongoing series.

I started this podcast because society often treats aging like the end of the story—like we no longer count. And sometimes, we start to believe it. But our stories still matter, and they deserve to be heard.

Season Two: Finding Strength in Our Fears centers on fear—how it shows up in everyday life, keeps us quiet, and what it means to speak about it.

This season also includes an interview series: What the Eyes Carry—conversations with women who share personal stories about regret, silence, and the moments that changed them.

After stepping away from the podcast in December 2024 to care for my mom, I am returning with new episodes every 2 to 3 weeks starting again in December 2025.

If you've ever felt unseen, dismissed, or feel like you no longer matter, this podcast is for you.

Let’s keep growing older and wiser together.
