What if aging wasn’t something to fear—but something to understand, embrace, and even look forward to?

In this episode, Meghan Grace is joined by Sharon Rose, a social gerontologist and expert in intergenerational community building. Together, they explore the science of aging and how generational studies intersect with social and emotional development across the lifespan.

Sharon shares insights from her decades of experience designing programs for intergenerational engagement and highlights the importance and power of building relationships across age groups. The episode dives into her framework of the “Three P’s” of healthy aging—and why these values resonate across generations.
