What does it really mean to age well in America today?

In this thought-provoking conversation, Andi Simon sits down with Cathy Rowe, Executive Director of New Jersey Advocates for Aging Well, to explore how longer lives are reshaping retirement, communities, and our sense of purpose.

As more Americans live 20 to 30 years beyond traditional retirement age, the question is no longer "Can I afford to retire?" but "What am I retiring to?" Cathy shares insights on age-friendly communities, social connection, lifelong learning, and why purpose matters as much as financial planning.

This episode is a fresh look at retirement, longevity, and creating a meaningful next chapter.

Key Topics:
• Rethinking Retirement
• Age-Friendly Communities
• Purpose After Work
• Loneliness and Social Connection
• Lifelong Learning
• Aging Well
• Community Engagement
• Longevity and Healthy Aging
• Retirement Planning Beyond Finances
