Turning Points: Navigating Mental Health

Finding Purpose: Aging & Identity | S5E1


Listen Later

How do we redefine who we are as we grow older? This episode explores how aging — including retirement, physical changes, and shifts in cognition — can shape our sense of self. We’ll look at the emotional and psychological impact of big life transitions, like stepping away from a job after 40+ years, and how ageism can influence the way we see ourselves and others.

But it’s not all loss — it’s also about growth. We’ll talk to a professional who can shed light on the range of identity changes that come with aging, both challenging and empowering. Then, we’ll hear from someone who’s lived through a major turning point, sharing how aging became a gateway to self-discovery, new purpose, and even joy.
