In This Episode

In this insightful conversation, aging and caregiving expert Anthony Cirillo sits down with solo aging advocate Carol Marak for a candid discussion about the realities of growing older without a traditional support system and the pressures facing today’s caregivers. Together they explore how workplace demands, shrinking family networks, and growing numbers of “elder orphans” are reshaping what it means to plan for later life. Marak shares practical strategies for building community, safeguards, and resilience when you are aging alone, while Cirillo draws on his work at The Aging Experience to highlight resources, mindsets, and small steps that can help caregivers and solo agers thrive—not just cope—as they navigate the journey ahead
