Welcome to the Openly Aging Community — a space for those over 70 (and the people who love them) who want to stay independent, confident, and in control of the aging journey.
I’m Allison O’Shea, best-selling author of The 4 Pillars to Keep Control of Your Aging Journey, speaker, and nationally recognized thought leader on proactive aging. After 20+ years as an executive in senior living, I’ve witnessed thousands of aging journeys — some done with intention, others led by crisis. I built this community so you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Here, you’ll find positive strategies, practical advice, and a supportive network of people just like you — proactive agers who want to make the most of their independence, health, and lifestyle.
Aging is universal, but your situation is unique. Aging well doesn’t happen by chance — it happens by strategy. And understanding your options is the key to staying in control.
