Our CEO, Sherri Snelling, has interviewed Joan Lunden several times over the last few years about several of her life transitions: caregiving for her brother and mother long-distance, fighting and surviving breast cancer, being part of the Sandwich Generation, healthy living and more.

Sherri recently talked to Joan about her most latest book, Why Did I Come Into This Room? A Candid Conversation about Aginga humorous take on aging written as Joan turns 70 this year. In fact, in the book Joan mentions doing an interview with a writer from Third Age wondering what the term meant (known as the “golden years” between ages 65-80) – that writer was our CEO Sherri!
