A Different Way to Think About Aging
No one plans to lose their independence. But many people don’t make a plan to keep it.
After years as an oncology nurse—and as a caregiver to multiple family members with dementia—Adina has seen what happens when action comes too late. Her message is simple, but urgent: Aging well isn’t something that just happens. It’s something we shape—one decision at a time.
Today’s research shows we have more control than we think. The brain thrives on challenge, connection, and continued learning.
But most people aren’t lacking awareness. They’re lacking something they actually return to.
That’s where Adina’s work comes in. Through speaking and through Cattywampus, she challenges audiences to think differently about aging—and to take an active role in how their story unfolds. Because the future version of you is being shaped right now.
