A few days ago, I was interviewed for NPR’s Here & Now, and the host asked me about my “aging journey.” I felt a little flustered—not because it was a bad question, but because I’m 50. And when people ask me about aging, my mind goes straight to olde... more

The Psychology of Aging Podcast hosted by Dr. Regina Koepp is a great podcast for those of us who want to know as much about the challenges facing our aging population. The podcast tackles some of the more difficult issues facing older adults.

Bravo for addressing these subjects. I hope for more episodes in 2022.

Dr Regina presents helpful information about aging and dementia in a way that sheds some positive light on what is normally perceived as a negative situation. While she doesn’t shy away from the realities of aging and dementia related illness, she does so in a way that gives hope, and offers up a different perspective through her own expertise and those guests she interviews. Bravo and thank you!
Great podcast addressing really important topics. Thank you for bringing these conversations to a broader audience. I learn something in every episode!
Thank you Regina! Learning more about your story was so heart warming and inspiration for me! I often think of “flow” in life and your description of community being you, both to help and to sometimes receive help reminded me of that. It’s going to help me find more ways to serve. Sending love and thanks! What an amazing resource you are creating!🙏❤️💫
I am finishing up a bachelors degree in psychology with a minor in gerontology. I hope to start a master’s program in geropsychology soon after that. I am very happy to have found this podcast because there are not a ton of resources out there. I hope to be able to register on the Center for Mental Health and Aging some day.
