Description: In this unforgettable, life-giving talk, Dr. Kimberly Harms blends humor, wisdom, and courageous honesty to reframe aging as our most powerful season and most important calling. Drawing from a story shaped by resilience, deep loss, faith, and fierce reinvention, she equips audiences of every generation to live boldly, prepare wisely, and pass on a legacy of emotional wealth that strengthens families long after we are gone.

Why it matters: America is aging rapidly, yet we treat aging like something to hide instead of something to harness. Seniors carry irreplaceable resilience, younger generations desperately need their wisdom, and unprepared families fracture. More that half experience conflict after a death. Dr. Harms shows why emotional and practical preparation isn’t morbid at all but an act of radical love.

What audiences will gain:

• A new perspective: aging as privilege, purpose, and influence
• Practical tools for building resilience at any age
• A roadmap for creating a legacy that goes far beyond money
• Clear steps to prevent family conflict through preparation and communication
• The courage to talk about the future with clarity, compassion, and hope
