How to Tell a New Story About Aging with Dr. Corinne Auman
Gerontology and the study of aging @ 0:00Corinne Auman explains that gerontology is the study of older adults, focusing on the psychological, sociological, and cultural aspects of aging rather than the biological. As a gerontologist, she is particularly interested in addressing ageism and challenging the negative stereotypes about aging that don't match the reality of how people are experiencing it today.Changing perceptions of aging @ 3:23Corinne discusses how the aging experience has changed dramatically across generations, with people living longer and healthier lives. However, the cultural messaging around aging has not kept up, still portraying it as "all downhill." She encourages people to notice these generational differences and recognize that aging can be a gift of extra decades of health and longevity.The power of positive mindset @ 6:00Corinne emphasizes that individuals have a tremendous amount of control over their own aging process, and that having a positive, optimistic outlook can add 7.5 years to one's life on average. She encourages people to challenge their own internalized ageism and negative perceptions, and to embrace the freedom and possibilities that come with aging.Corinne's work and services @ 13:19Corinne discusses her work running a care management agency that supports families dealing with aging-related crises. She shares examples of clients who have approached aging with very different mindsets, and how that impacts their experiences. She also talks about her public speaking, advocacy, and coaching work to help people reframe their perspectives on aging.Recap and call to action @ 23:09Tara and Corinne summarize the key takeaways from their discussion, emphasizing the power of reshaping one's personal narrative around aging. Tara encourages listeners to visit Corinne's website and social media to learn more, and Corinne reiterates the importance of challenging internalized ageism and embracing the possibilities of growing older.Visit www.corinneauman.com
