In this episode, we explore how meaning in life is discovered, shaped and lived as we grow older.

Host Jacinta Parsons speaks with Reverend Clare Brockett, the esteemed author of “The Meaning of Life” James Bailey, Lea Symonds a prison system advocate, and CEO of Meaningful Aging Australia, Rachel Wass.

From their diverse perspectives on life, career and ageing, she invites them to reflect on purpose, self-worth, connection and the practices that help people find strength, joy and meaning.

From reflection and gratitude to community, creativity and nature, the conversation reveals that our search for meaning is not fixed — it evolves across the many chapters of our lives.

It’s a thoughtful, hopeful look at ageing and the personal journeys that help us understand what truly matters.
