Cathy Michalec | Little Brothers – Friends of the Elderly, Service, and Human Connection | The Sound Legacy Podcast #12

In this special episode of The Sound Legacy Podcast, we talk with Cathy Michalec, Executive Director of Little Brothers – Friends of the Elderly, about a life rooted in service, listening, and human dignity.

Cathy shares her unique career path, from the Peace Corps to teaching, volunteering, and nonprofit leadership, and how each chapter shaped her commitment to community and care. We explore the values that guide Little Brothers – Friends of the Elderly, an organization dedicated to reducing loneliness and honoring older adults through consistent, meaningful relationships.

We also introduce the Little Brothers – Friends of the Elderly pilot podcast project, discussing why storytelling matters, how elders’ voices foster connection across generations, and what this new program hopes to offer participants and listeners alike.

This conversation sets the tone for the series. One centered on aging, service, dignity, and the power of simply showing up for one another.
