How does the experience of aging and caregiving differ across cultures and continents? How does creativity play into the aging process, and what can we learn from the wisdom and experiences of our elders? Today we talk all about the world of caregiving, creative aging, and the transformative power of participatory arts and wellness programs.

Today my guest Ryan Reid, Founder of Bream. Ryan's journey began with experience in memory care as a teenager and life with her grandfather, which set the trajectory for her life's work. From the stages of off Broadway to the rural communities of Nepal, Ryan has dedicated her career to enriching the lives of older adults and their caregivers. Her brainchild, Bream, is a testament to her commitment, offering a holistic platform designed to alleviate loneliness and promote wellbeing among our senior community.

In our conversation today, we'll explore Ryan's personal and professional journey, from her early experiences with Alzheimer's research to her Fulbright studies in Nepal. We'll discuss the intricacies of caregiving across different cultures, talk about the philosophy of creative aging, and the role of arts and wellness in the lives of older adults. Ryan will also share insights into the mission and operations of Bream, how it tailors its offerings to meet the diverse needs of older adults, and her vision for the future of caregiving. Thank you, Ryan!
