MODERN ELDERS are not like the former elders in that we have zest for life, and passion for adventure and exploration. We are not content to spend all our days in a rocking chair on the porch. We are active and social. We don’t feel old (although our bodies sometimes do.) We have a youthful mindset, believe that the best is yet to come, and we want to get the most out of life. This podcast is about growing older with a healthy body, mind and spirit - for 50+, baby boomers and seniors. Award-winning holistic health professional, Debra Jones' mission is to change negative attitudes towards aging and reinstate the reverence it deserves. Our society tells us that aging is undesirable. Why? As soon as we're born, we're aging. At OWN THE GREY, we believe that our age should be worn as a medal of honour. As we get older, we gain the power of perspective and WISDOM; an asset gained only by age. Let's change the conversation and set new, healthy, POSITIVE attitudes, and eliminate outdated stigmas. At OWN THE GREY, we uncover the hidden wisdom from the MODERN ELDERS of society so that ALL ages can be inspired by, and benefit from their stories.

    Planning for later life

    No matter your age, it's never too early to make plans for your life. Later Life planning is a vital, but often overlooked, responsibility. Its purpose is to strategically plan a pathway so you can enjoy the future you want, rather than leave it to chance. Ensuring your wishes are known and understood by your support team will provide you with peace of mind so you can enjoy worry-free later years.

    Allison O'Shea from Openly Aging knows that the aging arena is largely overwhelming and quite confusing so she's here to share her tips and tricks on how to navigate aging and what to be prepared for, financially, socially, and spiritually.

Debra Jones leads her podcasts with excellent preparation, high value content, with a tone of healing kindness. As a recent guest on her program I was so impressed with the quality of our discussion and the helpful content she curates. She’s an excellent interviewer with keen insight and intelligence. I highly recommend this inspiring podcast.

Deep dive conversations on aging

Debra is an engaging host and keeper of the flame so to speak. Her episodes are thoughtful about elders, aging, and dispelling stereotypes about getting older. I love these conversations
