Our Story
On a wintery January afternoon in 2001, Risa was sitting next to her mother at the kitchen table. During their conversation, Mom suffered a debilitating stroke, one that left her with right side paresis. Mom had been a healthy, very active 65-year old restaurant owner who lived for family and others. She walked three miles every morning, worked late into the night, and squeezed a yoga class in whenever she could. But she also suffered from hypertension.
Mom was a completely independent woman who took care of everyone else. Now she had to allow herself to be taken care of. Mom’s first words in the ICU were “pay mortgage.” At that moment Risa realized how unprepared she was. Her family had no idea what bills needed to be paid, or how she had paid them. They didn’t have access to her bank account or know if she had a will. What was a health care proxy and did Mom have one? With the help of family, Risa learned a great deal about elder care while struggling to adapt to a new normal.
Over the years, Risa and her family gained expertise in caregiving, medical equipment, legal issues and government programs. She decided to share this knowledge to help the millions of people like Mom preserve their dignity in the face of debilitating health challenges. Thus, Modern Aging was born.
On a fall October day in San Diego, Risa met Susan at an entrepreneurial business conference. They discovered that they shared a vision to build a diverse global community of adults growing older together with joy, health, prosperity and fulfillment. From this, Modern Aging was reborn into a lifestyle company and movement that offers innovative and holistic solutions to adults in midlife wishing to optimize their health and lifestyle in innovative and holistic ways.
Modern Aging highlights experts and proven scientific and time-tested traditional approaches. They reject the outdated social stereotypes around aging. In fact, research has proven that midlife is one of the happiest times in life for a majority of adults. They listen to you – their audience, partners and friends – and create the products, courses, coaching and events you ask for.
The Modern Aging TV YouTube channel and other social media share insights of top experts, their collective knowledge, plus best practices from cultures around the globe. They create a supportive space for their community to connect, redefine and renew, share stories, swap ideas and let go of what no longer fits us as we grow. Together we heal, make new choices, empower one another, and age on our terms.
