⚠️ If a call feels urgent, scary, and rushed — stop.

That may not be your loved one.

Scammers are using AI to copy voices from social media videos and make emergency calls pretending to be family members. The stories are dramatic, emotional, and convincing — because that’s how they override reason.

This isn’t about being “tech savvy.”
It’s about having a plan before fear hits.

✅ Do this now:
• Agree on a family verification step
• Never act on a single call
• Call back using a trusted contact
• Talk openly with older adults about this scam

❤️ Share this to protect someone you love.

Most people would say, “I’m not ageist.”
And yet…

We still assume older adults are:
• washed up
• grumpy
• slow
• out of touch
• “all done”

This video asks a powerful question:
How can we be prejudiced against a place we are all going?

When someone forgets a doctor’s appointment, it’s not always decline.
It’s often because their life no longer revolves around rigid schedules like it once did.

Aging doesn’t erase worth.
It changes rhythm.

If we don’t challenge these beliefs now, we’ll carry them into our own future.

I made it.

This journey wasn’t just about miles or movement.
It was about carrying stories that deserve to be told differently.

Today, I’m proud to finally share what I’ve been walking toward.

Aging, Untold.

A new television series created to change how we talk about aging, caregiving, and dignity— not as problems to fix, but as human experiences to honor.

This is only the beginning.
And I’m so glad you’re here for what’s next.

One day away.

I am standing right at the edge of something I have been building quietly, carefully, and with so much heart.

Before I take that last step, I want to pause and say thank you.
Thank you for walking with me.
For listening when things were still forming.
For staying curious instead of rushing me.

What is coming next is not just a reveal.
It is a continuation.
A deeper way to protect dignity, voice, and choice as life changes.

I cannot wait to share what I have been working on
and where this road leads for all of us.

We are almost there.
And it means everything that you are here with me. 🖤

Here is something I wish more people understood

Needing help does not erase preference.

How you like your coffee.
The order of your morning.
The way your space feels when it is right.

These are not small details.
They are how identity shows up in everyday life.

Support should never mean becoming generic.
It should never mean settling for whatever is easiest.

Preferences are not optional.
They are personal.
They are protective.
They are dignity.

And they do not expire just because someone needs help.

Care that honors preference honors the person.

Quick roadside thought

One of the fastest ways to take dignity away
is talking about someone like they are not there.

It often happens without malice.
Out of habit.
Out of hurry.
Out of fear.

But even when memory fades,
presence does not.

They can still feel tone.
They can still sense exclusion.
They can still know when they are being spoken over
instead of spoken with.

Dignity lives in the smallest moments.
Eye contact.
Including them in the conversation.
Using their name.
Waiting for a response.

Memory loss does not erase personhood.
Being present is not optional.
It is the care.

A gentle truth about grief

Grief does not wait for the end.
It begins in small losses.
In firsts that feel different.
In moments you cannot quite explain, but feel deeply.

You might notice it when routines change.
When joy feels quieter.
When something familiar suddenly feels heavy.

Here is the part we do not say often enough:
Naming grief does not make it worse.
It does not make you weak.
It makes the experience human.

When you give grief a name,
you give yourself permission to respond with care
instead of judgment.

Grief is not a problem to fix.
It is something to acknowledge, gently and honestly.

If this feels familiar,
you are not behind.
You are not broken.
You are grieving.

And that deserves tenderness, not pressure. 🖤

Something worth remembering

Help can feel like a threat
when it arrives with control attached.

Most people are not afraid of assistance.
They are afraid of losing their voice.
Their choice.
Their say in their own life.

That fear makes sense.

When help turns into taking over,
when decisions are made without asking,
when support removes autonomy,
the body may accept the help
but the spirit resists it.

Here is the truth we need to say more often:
The how matters just as much as the help.

Support that protects dignity
invites collaboration.
It asks before acting.
It preserves choice whenever possible.

If someone is resisting help,
it may not be stubbornness.
It may be self protection.

And when we change how we help,
we often change everything. 🖤

Aging is not going backwards.

Needing help does not make you an infant again.
Whether it is a feeding assist after a stroke or support with something that used to be automatic, it simply means you are living in a body with a lot of miles on it.

Think about a car with over 200,000 miles.
We do not shame it for needing a mechanic.
We respect it enough to care for it properly.

We go to doctors for the same reason.
Support is not failure.
It is maintenance.

If this resonates, you are not alone.
There is another way to approach aging that is gentler and wiser.
One that uses language to protect identity, strategies that preserve choice, and planning that reduces fear instead of creating it.

You do not have to muscle through aging alone.
And you do not have to push the accelerator so hard anymore.

When you are ready, we are here to walk that road with you.

A thought while I’m on the road…

Being rushed doesn’t just create anxiety.
It makes people feel invisible.

Slowness isn’t confusion.
It’s often someone trying to hold onto themselves.

If this made you pause, try slowing down with me.
More thoughts ahead.
