Join us as we discuss “Renewment” with Helen Dennis, co-founder of Project Renewment, a best-selling author, columnist, lecturer on aging and retirement.


Renewment is a made-up word; a combination of retirement and renewal. Established in 1999, Renewment is a movement of mid- to later-life career women, who are using their drive, energy and talent used in the workplace to create their next life chapters to be equal to or more fulfilling than the previous ones. The women typically meet monthly for a structured conversation, on topics such as “Who am I Without my Business Card?” and “What is Productivity Anyhow?” As women belong to the same group for anywhere from 2 to 20 years, Renewment has moved beyond the transition from work to retirement. It now supports career women through transition and change for a lifetime. The pandemic has prevented women from meeting face to face. As a result, we have launched virtual Renewment roundtables which are growing virally with waiting lists. See the LA Times best seller: Project Renewment: The First Retirement Model for Career Women and Renewment.org.

Renewment | A Conversation with Helen Dennis

We all have milestones that come with age. Maybe they are exciting milestones like marriage, the birth of your children and some more challenging milestones of when your children leave the nest, taking care of an aging parent, grieving the death of a parent. The list goes on and on. Elder Care Coordinators Katlyn Green and Pati Bedwell discuss life’s milestones and how successful aging is more than just healthcare intervention.

Episode 236: Coping with Life’s Milestones

Join us as we discuss breaking down aging and dementia stereotypes in everyday life through creative engagement with Rowena Richie, an interdisciplinary artist working with people living with neurodiversity and dementia and the co-founder of the performance and social practice group, For You.


Rowena Richie’s interactive projects engage people through art making, body dynamics and celebratory events, designing collaborations between artists and elders. This discussion explores her artistic endeavors aimed at tackling prevalent health challenges among older adults living in urban settings: social isolation and dementia. It also delves into the potential expansion of her initiatives, making us all stakeholders in mutual support and envision cities and communities that embrace this contemporary urban lifestyle.
