I had a lot of fun researching and writing my latest article for PBS Next Avenue on how FINALLY big brands and younger generations are realizing boomers can be cool and valuable customers! Read the full article here with links to Lex Nicoletta’s “Coastal Grandmother” TikTok videos and Jane Fonda’s parody video of “Coastal Grandmothers” on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.” You can also check out my “Caregiving Club On Air” podcast – S2, Ep 13 where I share a lot of what is behind the “Coastal Grandmother” trend.

I want to express my thanks to those who provided interviews for the article: Marta Benson, president of Pottery Barn, Louis Tenenbaum of Homes Renewed and Cara Sumpton, lead designer for the adaptive clothing line Joe & Bella.

To add a bit more to the article, here are some more photos from Pottery Barn and my Coastal Grandmother trend picks (they make great holiday gifts!)
