Aging is a Privilege

For the finale of this season, we flipped the show. Instead of the experts, an open call: millennials and Gen-Z, anywhere, answering questions about aging, caregiving, and grief — no names, just a voice memo, an age, and a place they call home.Five strangers answered. A 36-year-old confronting the mirror. A 20-year-old who learned the difference between seeing death and standing near it. A 34-year-old who has held the hands of dying strangers. A 34-year old caregiver who nursed the woman who raised her. And a 42-year-old who met death twice, twenty years apart — and came back with different answers each time.What they have in common, they found on their own: aging is a privilege, and the questions we avoid get lighter every time we say them out loud.What do you want your aging to look like — and what scares you about it? Sit with it. We'll be back soon.
