“You’re Ageing: This Podcast Is For You” launches The Next Bit, a new podcast for New Zealanders by New Zealanders who want to stay independent, informed, and confident as they age.
Hosts Hannah McQueen (Founder of EnableMe, now Founder of Brightly) and broadcaster Mark Leishman explore why most people don’t lose independence because they suddenly “get old” - they lose it because early warning signs are missed: A fall. A medication change. A subtle red flag. And then decline quietly accelerates.
This episode sets the foundation for a series focused on:
Preventative health
Aging well and frailty prevention
Falls risk
Retirement transitions
Avoiding unnecessary hospital admissions and rest home care
You’ll also hear how Hannah’s experience reviewing retirement village and rest home contracts led to the creation of Brightly: a geriatrician-led, whole-of-person assessment designed to detect risks early and help people stay well for longer.
Aging doesn’t happen all at once.
But when it changes, it can change fast.
Live well and independent for longer. Get your whole-of-person assessment at
