What This Talk Covers

It’s easy to pretend nothing’s wrong—or to get overwhelmed when something is. This talk strikes a better balance. Steven helps attendees explore what it means to grow older with resilience, especially when facing changes in health, energy, or ability. Through stories and practical insights, he guides listeners through the emotional weight of health decline without sugarcoating or despair. The focus is on what remains—not just what’s lost.
