Ageless with Kendra Kovacik

In this episode, I talk with Sharon Iversen, a nurse with over 45 years of healthcare experience, about Goals of Care (GOC) and Advanced Care Planning. We give concrete examples of why having these important documents and conversations will empower you and your family in stressful healthcare situations. We also chat about the difference between Hospice/End of Life and Palliative Care, where this type of care is delivered and why more people (health care professionals included) need to recognize the differences between the two.

In this episode, I talk with Gerontologist Sally Duplantier about overcoming limiting beliefs about what we can or can't do as we age. Did you know that how you think about your aging experience plays a major role in how you actually age? We dive into Sally's own experience of returning to school after retirement, discuss some of the latest research around aging, highlight the importance of finding your ikigai and being aware of and not encouraging ageist culture.  Links: Check out Sally's business website here: https://myzinglife.com/ Listen to the latest on Super Agers here: ⁠https://bit.ly/WW-SuperAgers-Recording⁠ Breaking the Age Code Book link: ⁠https://www.amazon.com/Breaking-Age-Code-Beliefs-Determine/dp/0063053195/ref=asc_df_0063053195/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=564758369270&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16107515391430372547&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9032135&hvtargid=pla-1600860730720&psc=1⁠
