June is Alzheimer's Awareness Month.

Just like the rest of our bodies, our brains change as we age. Most of us eventually notice some slowed thinking and occasional problems with remembering certain things.

"I’m happier in my 60s than I was at 35, and it has nothing to do with success—it happened when I stopped chasing these 10 definitions of achievement that were never mine."

May is Older Americans Month, a time to recognize older Americans' contributions, highlight aging trends, and reaffirm our commitment to serving older adults.

The 2026 theme, Champion Your Health, focuses on prevention, wellness, and personal responsibility as cornerstones of healthy aging. It encourages taking an active role in managing your own health, advocating for yourself, accessing preventive care, and making informed decisions that support independence.

The happiest seniors aren't those with the most leisure, but those who have "recalibrated" their psychological portfolios.

As a psychologist who has spent decades studying transitions, I've found the most difficult shift isn't retirement but the decades that follow.
