from A Certain Age · host Katie Fogarty

Want to be the energetic, trusted grandparent your family can't wait to call? With the average grandparent now 68 (and many becoming first-time grandmas in their 70s), getting physically and emotionally ready isn't optional—it's essential. Because here's the deal. Your grandbaby won't slow down for you—so you need to get ready for them. Kristen Coffield, founder of Active Grandparenting and The Culinary Cure, returns to the show to share a roadmap for modern grandparenting. What's the one habit that fuels strength, mobility, and stamina for toddler wrangling? How do you partner with adult kids without overstepping? What tech, app, and ideas can keep you connected to your long-distance grandkids? Discover a practical game plan to stay capable, relevant, and deeply connected. Get grandparent ready, beauties!
