In this Living to 100 Club, Podcast, we look at various aspects of aging and positive ways to view aging. How old are you and when is someone is considered “old.” Our guest is Lisa Rill, a professional with a long history in geriatric services and research, and currently Executive director at Senior Life Source, a non-profit organization that provides education on aging for all ages.

Dr. Rill sheds light on overcoming ageist attitudes and how to confidently advocate for our self and our loved ones when necessary. Living to 100 Club welcomes this conversation about the various perspectives on positive aging. Then you can answer, how old are you?
