Faith Talks: Aging with Love and Care

Aging with Love and Care: Faith Talks with Karen Walrond

We are surrounded by a culture that stigmatizes aging and ignores the older members of our communities. But aging is a process just like any other that deserves love, support, and respect. No one can avoid aging. So, how can we be supported and live the life we deserve at every age?

In this episode of Faith Talks, Jennifer R. Farmer sits down with Karen Walrond to discuss how we can prioritize love and care as we age. Walrond is an award-winning author, leadership consultant, and attorney committed to creating a kindness revolution. We hope you’ll listen, learn, and reflect on our paths.

An award-winning author, leadership consultant, and attorney, Karen Walrond is on a mission to create a kindness revolution.

Her book, The Lightmaker’s Manifesto, beckons readers toward lives of integrity, advocacy, and joy. Radiant Rebellion, a silver winner of the 2024 Nautilus Book Awards, investigates how we can resist ageism, create powerful futures, and live a light-filled life along the way. Her most recent book, In Defense of Dabbling, encourages self-compassion and self-transcendence through the power of intentional amateurism. And her debut book, The Beauty of Different, is a chronicle of imagery, essays, and observations on authenticity, courage, and the concept that what makes us different makes us beautiful.

Karen’s work has been featured on Brené Brown’s Unlocking Us podcast, CNN.com, USA Today, and others. She and her family split their time between Houston, Texas, USA, and Bath, Somerset, United Kingdom.
