Debra Whitman, PhD, a leading expert on aging, recently found herself asking key questions we all face in midlife and beyond: How long will I live? Will I be healthy? Can I maintain my memory? Will I have enough money? Drawing from her best-selling book, “The Second Fifty: Answers to the 7 Big Questions of Midlife and Beyond,” as well as compelling research and personal stories, Whitman — executive vice president and chief public policy officer at AARP — offers surprising insights and practical advice on brain health, work, caregiving, retirement, and aging well. Whitman spoke at the 2025 Women in Retail Leadership Summit about approaching midlife, navigating later years, and supporting loved ones to achieve a meaningful, vibrant second half of life.
