Goodbye, "elderly" and "over the hill"; hello, "wise, active older adult!"

Take a moment to imagine an "elderly" person. Now take that mental picture, rip it out of its cracked, broken, gray frame, and REFRAME it in something big, bold, shiny, and new. With a little consideration, you'll start to see wise, active older adults instead of the "elderly," "over the hill" folks you used to picture. Now that is how you change negative stereotypes about aging into positive ones...A.K.A. reframing aging! Join your host Denise Schwartz and guest Meg Ryan while they discuss ways we can all begin to reframe aging in our own lives NOW!
