This season, we are releasing a mini-series, Changemaker Interviews, where we highlight the impact of changemakers on the quality of our lives. These individuals have challenged and changed systems, introduced new ways of thinking and told previously untold stories.

We kicked off the series by reflecting on key moments from past conversations with three exceptional women, featured in our special edition. Please enjoy listening to their personal stories and insights offering valuable perspectives on aging, community, and the power of storytelling – wisdom that continues to inspire and guide us through these transformative times.
