Hi, I’m Allison O’Shea, an author, speaker, and the founder of Openly Aging. With over 20 years of experience as an executive in senior living, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing countless aging journeys. Through these experiences, I realized a crucial gap in the services available to those navigating or supporting an aging journey: the need for one-time conversations with an expert. These conversations help individuals become aware of their options and provide education on how to make informed, fiscally responsible decisions that promote independence and health. As an Aging Advisor, I am passionate about advocating for my clients and guiding them to achieve their aging goals and desires. I believe that with the right support and information, everyone can take control of their aging journey and live life on their own terms. When I’m not helping individuals navigate their aging journey, I love spending time with my husband, Chris, and our two children, Jack, and Emily. You’ll often find us at sporting events or hosting friends and family in our home.
