Episode #17

What does it really mean to age well? In this unique episode of the Modern Grandparenting Podcast, Leigh and Jackie welcome Specialist Rehabilitation Physician and Positive Ageing Researcher Professor Chris Poulos to explore how we can all take practical steps towards healthier, more fulfilling ageing.
Chris shares why positive ageing isn’t about pretending we’re getting younger—it’s about building strength, purpose and wellbeing, even when life brings illness, injury or change. We also discuss the role grandparents play in modelling resilience, staying engaged, and creating meaningful connections across generations.
Whether you’re a grandparent, caring for older family members, or simply thinking about your own future, this conversation is packed with practical insights and fresh perspectives that may change the way you think about ageing.
Tune in and discover how positive ageing can begin today.
