Dr. Corinne Auman expected to help 40-year-olds care for 70-year-old parents. Instead, she works with 70-year-olds caring for 90-somethings — proving our aging assumptions are decades behind reality. Her book Kienagers reframes older adulthood as a time of continued growth, not decline. From Medicare myths (it doesn't pay for long-term care) to ageism's cognitive dissonance (we separate "old people" from ourselves as if aging doesn't apply to us), this conversation exposes why society's retirement narrative is crushing people who still feel like they're in their prime.

Dr. Auman Shares:

✅ Why 70-year-olds are caring for 90-year-old parents — not 40s caring for 70s
✅ Ageism starts with your own thoughts — fight it from the inside
✅ Medicare doesn't pay for long-term care — 7 in 10 people will need it
