We’re at the age where life feels busier than ever. We’re balancing careers, families, aging loved ones, and everything in between.
That’s why VOYCE created We’re at the Age, hosted by Melody Fox. Each episode features honest conversations, practical advice, and expert insights to help you navigate aging, caregiving, and the moments that matter most.
Communities that Carry Us: Faith & Connection As We Age
What carries us through life's hardest seasons?
In this episode of We're at the Age, Melody sits down with Rev. Dr. Julie Strassman, hospice chaplain and congregational care minister, to explore the powerful role that faith, community, and human connection play as we grow older.
Together, they discuss what it means to navigate grief—not as something to "get over," but as a natural part of a life well-lived. Julie shares how joy and sorrow work together and why the communities that surround us can become our greatest source of strength.
Whether you're supporting an aging loved one, experiencing a loss, or simply searching for deeper connection, this conversation offers a thoughtful reminder that we were never meant to carry life's burdens alone.
