About Corinne:

Meet Corinne Auman, a trailblazer in the field of aging and founder of Choice Care Navigators, a company dedicated to helping families navigate the aging process. Corinne is dedicated to fostering personal growth, resilience, and authentic living at every age. With a background in psychology, Corinne's passion lies in reshaping how we perceive older adulthood, a vision she beautifully encapsulates in her groundbreaking book, "Keenagers."

"Keenagers," released in June 2023, challenges conventional notions of aging, emphasizing that 55-80 years old is an extended middle adulthood, not a decline. It's a guide to life planning, not just financial planning, addressing the crucial question of finding purpose and meaning in the post-retirement phase.

Corinne is on a mission to change the conversation around aging. In a culture where many avoid thinking about older adulthood until the last minute, she urges us to embrace aging in a positive light. Corinne's success is not only in authoring "Keenagers" but also in running a thriving company that addresses critical pain points in care management. Her goals align with her book's message – to discuss ageism, changing perspectives, and bringing attention to the topic.
