She introduces the concept of “joyspan” and explores how to challenge negative beliefs about aging, recognize the strengths that develop with experience, and build meaningful friendships later in life. Drawing on stories from her work and her mother, Betty, Kerry also shares how joy and grief can coexist, why small acts of kindness matter, and how a simple gratitude practice can help us find more meaning in the years ahead.
