What if aging isn’t something to resist ... but something to rethink?
In this episode I sit down with Chris Moore, founder of Senior Remodeling Experts and a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist, for a thoughtful conversation about mindset, purpose, and what aging teaches us from the inside out.
After decades of working closely with older adults, Chris has seen firsthand how attitude - not age - often shapes how we experience later life. Together, we explore common myths about aging and retirement, the importance of intergenerational connection, and why living with intention matters more than ever as we grow older.
Chris is also the author of Age Out Loud, a book that challenges fear-based narratives around growing older and invites readers to live with purpose, vitality, and intention at every age. We touch on the ideas behind the book in this conversation.
In this episode, you'll hear us chat about:
- Why aging isn’t a decline — and what really shapes the experience
- How attitude influences vitality at every age
- The cultural myth of “waiting for retirement” to start living
- What working with older adults reveals about purpose and relevance
- The value of intergenerational relationships
- Why aging in place is as much about mindset as it is environment
