This episode features two passionate storytellers who believe that advocating for yourself or others is one of the most powerful ways to ensure a vibrant life at any age.
Emilie McKendall is a retired Chicago radio personality now residing in Florida. She shares how she is advocating for a proactive approach towards health care rather than a reactive, 'sick care' system.
Dwain Kyles, General Counsel for Sage Collective, shares poignant family stories to emphasize the vital need for advocacy, particularly for those unable to do so for themselves.
The episode also highlights systemic and cultural barriers to proper care for the elderly, advocating for a more inclusive, supportive community that values intergenerational connections and utilizes technology to reduce isolation.
Overall, the episode is a powerful call to action for self-advocacy, community support, and a healthier, more empowered approach to aging.
