In this illuminating episode, host Darleen Mahoney welcomes Rita Shula, Senior Director of Caregiving at the AARP Public Policy Institute, for an in-depth discussion about the dramatic rise in family caregivers across America—a trend revealed by AARP's latest research. Together, they unpack the staggering statistic that one in four adults now provides some form of caregiving, exploring the forces driving this increase: a rapidly aging population, evolving care needs, and the shortage of affordable professional support.Rita Shula shares insights from the study, revealing that caregiving isn't limited to retired or older adults—most caregivers are actually employed, with a growing number balancing careers, child-rearing, and demanding care roles. Through personal stories and data, the episode dives into the emotional, physical, and financial toll caregiving takes, from invisible stressors and “sandwich generation” pressures to the impacts of loneliness and strained health.The episode also turns to solutions, as Rita Shula explains AARP's advocacy for practical policy changes such as tax credits, improved healthcare navigation, flexible savings accounts, and workplace support.

In this inspiring conversation, internationally best-selling author, coach, and keynote speaker Richard Leider explores why purpose is fundamental to health, healing, happiness, and longevity, especially in the second half of life. He explains why purpose is something to be unlocked from within rather than found “out there,” and how small, everyday “little p” acts of meaning can ultimately reveal a bigger life purpose. Drawing on decades of work with leaders, research in lifestyle medicine, and stories from clients and his own life, Richard offers simple practices and questions to help listeners grow, give, and make each day count.What We Talk AboutWhy purpose is not a luxury, but a basic human need tied to well-being and longevityThe difference between “big P” purpose and “little p” purpose in everyday lifeThe “napkin test”: gifts + passions + values = purpose/callingHow to think about purpose in retirement and the added decades of life many of us now havePractices like the two-minute purpose practice and the “grow and give” daily questionThe importance of relationships, community, and service in combating isolation and lonelinessHow curiosity and a growth mindset support purposeful agingRichard's “incomplete manifesto for purpose” and what he stands for in his workAbout the Guest: Richard LeiderRichard Leider is an internationally best-selling author, coach, and keynote speaker widely regarded as a pioneer of the global purpose movement.

There is a demographic shift hiding in plain sight. In a few short years, the United States will have more people over 60 than children under 18. For Leanne Clark-Shirley, that statistic is not a curiosity for actuaries. It is “the mega trend of our moment” and a direct test of how leaders think about work, culture and contribution. Leanne is the President and CEO of the American Society on Aging, a seventy-one-year-old professional home for everyone who cares about aging, from community nutrition sites and academics to tech startups and interior designers. She is a social gerontologist who has spent more than two decades in aging-related nonprofit, consulting and academic roles, including senior work at AARP and in policy research and evaluation. In this episode of Leadership NOW, we discuss: • why executives continue to treat aging as a backstage topic about benefits and pensions • how language, especially words like “elderly”, quietly swindles older workers out of opportunity • the evidence that older entrepreneurs and older workers are powerful sources of innovation and stability • the practical moves leaders can make to design “with, not for” across ages • two simple experiments Leanne recommends to change how you notice age in your own life and organization Leanne also shares ASA's North Star, captured in her line that “longevity is the goal, and aging is how we get there”, and what it means for leaders who want their organizations to thrive in the longevity era.

Heather reminds us that loneliness doesn't mean something is wrong with you, it simply means you were made for connection. She shares simple, meaningful steps anyone can take to start rebuilding that connection, both during the holidays and long after they're over. A small reach, a small invitation, a small moment of courage can make a big difference. Sponsor: Bankston Motor Homes BankstonMotorHomes.com
