Show notes
This week on the Tuesday People Podcast, Mitch Albom is joined by America’s Gerontologist, Dr. Kerry Burnight—also known to her many followers as “Dr. Kerry”—to talk about her groundbreaking new book, JOYSPAN: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life’s Second Half. Tired of the fear-based messages around aging, Dr. Kerry offers a radical, optimistic shift: it’s not just about how long you live, but how well you live. With insights drawn from science, her decades of experience, and her 95-year-old mother Betty, Dr. Kerry introduces the concept of “joyspan”—a measure of purpose, peace, and connection that adds real meaning to our later years. Whether you’re navigating your own journey or supporting a loved one, this conversation is filled with practical tools, fresh perspective, and the empowering reminder that aging isn't "less than," it's more.
