Overcoming The Ageism in Our Lives with Corinne Auman
Corinne Auman is on a mission to change the conversation around aging. In a culture where many avoid thinking about older adulthood until the last minute, she urges us to embrace aging in a positive light.
Needless to say, we discuss ageism:
- Has it always existed or is it more obvious now that we’re living longer
- Ageism in the workplace
- Being “invisible” but needing to advocate for ourselves or our older parents
- Why new doctors might avoid elderly patients
- Facility care competency vs dementia awareness
- Kind lies
- Preparing for aging
Corinne uses the term “Keenagers”. I’ve heard the term “Wellderly”. I believe we agree the Keenagers will be the Wellderly of the future.

“Keenagers,” released in June 2023, challenges conventional notions of aging, emphasizing that 55-80 years old is an extended middle adulthood, not a decline. It’s a guide to life planning, not just financial planning, addressing the crucial question of finding purpose and meaning in the post-retirement phase.

Corinne’s success is not only in authoring “Keenagers” but also in running a thriving company that addresses critical pain points in care management. Her goals align with her book’s message – to discuss ageism, changing perspectives, and bringing attention to the topic.
Corinne’s pitch resonates with everyone, for we are all growing older. Her story is not just about her successes; it’s a call for all of us to care about aging, dispelling myths and embracing the beauty and potential of every stage of life.
