Ep. 57: Navigating the Dignity of Aging with Janice Goldmintz

Maybe I Can with Debbie Weiss

When my mother reluctantly handed over her car keys, I saw firsthand the complexity and emotion wrapped up in the transition our parents face as they age. It's these deeply personal journeys that I unpack with Janice Goldmintz, the visionary behind Talk About Aging, in a heart-to-heart that transcends mere conversation. We discuss Janice's transformation from a tech-wary individual to a beacon of hope for seniors navigating the digital world, revealing how an "I can't" attitude can blossom into a resounding "Maybe I Can." Her leap from a business career to earning a master's degree in gerontology was spurred by a deep-seated desire to impact the lives of the elderly—and she's here to share that inspiring story with us.
Whether you're facing these challenges now or looking to prepare for the future, this episode shines a light on the dignity of choice and the critical role healthcare professionals can play in supporting our families through this inevitable part of life. Join us for a conversation that's as enlightening as it is supportive, where the trials of aging are met with the wisdom of experience.
