Episode Summary:

What if retirement wasn’t the end of your contributions—but the beginning of your most impactful work? Maggie Kuhn never set out to lead a movement. But when she was forced to retire at 65, she realized something: society was quick to dismiss older adults, treating them as if their knowledge, skills, and voices no longer mattered. Instead of accepting this, she took action—and sparked a nationwide movement that challenged the way we think about aging.

In this episode, we dive into Maggie’s story and the powerful lessons from her journey that prove growing older doesn’t mean fading away—it means stepping into a new kind of power.
