Aging Is Not One Story: Brett Anderson on Reinvention, Longevity & Growing Older | The Storytelling University


Listen Later

Brett Anderson, formerly the lead singer of the groundbreaking band The Donnas, sits down with Aaron for a deeply personal conversation about aging, identity, and the power of reinvention. Now following a new path in the world of Gerontology, Brett shares how her journey through music, personal grief, palliative care, and end-of-life work reshaped her understanding of longevity and mental health. This bonus episode of 7MS Presents: The Storytelling University episode explores the branching paths of a human life and why no single narrative can ever define what it means to grow older.
