Building Community Around Healthy Aging

Creator of AGEnts of Movement Podcast | Fall Resiliency Coach | Movement and Connection Facilitator Specializing in Older Adults

For Erin Eleuterio, aging isn’t about slowing down, it’s about stepping into a vibrant second act. As the founder of AGEents of Movement Podcast, Erin is amplifying the voices of those who are helping older adults live healthier, more connected lives.

What started as a podcast has grown into a network. Erin began by interviewing professionals serving older adults in innovative ways – from boxing classes for people with Parkinson’s to outdoor adventure groups and dance instructors who launched new careers after retirement. She quickly realized these passionate individuals weren’t just activity leaders; they were community builders.

“So many people are helping older adults stay healthy, active, and socially engaged – but their stories weren’t being highlighted. I wanted to shine a light on them and inspire others to step into this space.”

Erin’s vision goes beyond exercise. She challenges ageist stereotypes that frame older adults as fragile or limited. Instead, she spotlights leaders who are redefining what’s possible: a woman in her 70s teaching trapeze, retirees leading rock climbing clubs, and everyday people creating programs rooted in joy and connection.

The common thread? Social connection first, physical activity second. Erin believes that health flourishes when people feel seen, supported, and engaged. Whether it’s a group sharing tea after an outdoor class or peers coaching each other in a workshop, these moments of connection are as vital as the workouts themselves.

Her work is still evolving – part podcast and newsletter, part professional network, and always an experiment in how to build community. Erin continues to host interviews, workshops, and discussions and write newsletters so professionals can learn from one another and take those ideas back into their own communities.

Her message is simple but powerful: aging is not an endpoint, it’s an opportunity to lead, to create, and to thrive.
