NSCA's Age Reconsidered podcast series will launch Episode 2, Starting With Strength: Rethinking Rural Aging on Oct. 7.

The story of rural aging is often told through the lens of isolation and limited services. In this episode, we travel to Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley to discover a different narrative—one where community, curiosity, generosity, and mutual support reveal what's possible when we begin with people's strengths rather than their needs.

Age Reconsidered is a new podcast that challenges conventional thinking about aging and explores what it means to grow older in today’s world.

Created by the Nova Scotia Centre on Aging at Mount Saint Vincent University, the nine-part series launches today, September 9, 2026, with new episodes released monthly.

“I think most people think if we’re this age we should be just getting ready to die. But we’re not. We’re ready to live.”

That’s one of the perspectives listeners will hear in the first episode, setting the tone for a series that invites listeners to see aging in a new light.

Guests include older adults, researchers, and community innovators from diverse backgrounds. The podcast is hosted by Dr. Kelly O’Neil.

Listen wherever you get your podcasts!
