No matter your age, this episode offers practical insight for thriving in the second half of life. Dr. Jim Burns is joined by Kerry Burnight, a leading gerontologist and expert dedicated to improving how we experience aging. Together, they unpack why a joy-filled mindset—not circumstances—is the key to aging well, and how joy can exist even when life is hard. Kerry shares “The Core Four” for longevity—Grow, Connect, Adapt, Give. If you’ve ever felt like it’s too late to grow or change, this conversation will challenge that lie and remind you that what you have to offer still matters.
