Introducing Pod of the 3rd Age

Hosted by Jo Stanley

There’s a real stigma around aging, and the Third Age of life is often misrepresented and misunderstood.

Join us as we tackle essential topics like overcoming downsizing hurdles with expert Peter Walsh, destigmatizing discussions around loneliness with Dr. Michelle Lim from ‘Ending Loneliness Together,’ and demystifying financial planning for retirement.

We’ll have meaningful conversations, inviting real-life experiences and insights from everyday Aussies making the most of life in the Third Age.

#3: How do we change the conversation around loneliness? (with Dr Michelle Lim)

Loneliness is something we all experience at some point, and it is particularly common later in life. But what loneliness is, and how it impacts our health and wellbeing, is commonly misunderstood.

In the third episode of Pod of the 3rd Age, Jo speaks to Dr Michelle Lim, Scientific Chair of Ending Loneliness together about the health risks associated with loneliness and how we can change the way we speak about it.

We then chat to Nellie Melba resident Margaret Seet, who shares her own experience of living alone and how moving to a retirement village was the 'best decision' she has ever made.
