Jane Pauley reunites with Today Show and joins AARP for inspiring campaign.

What does it mean to "grow old gracefully"? Jane Pauley is explaining it well in her new campaign with Today and AARP, Your Life Calling. The former morning TV and talk show host is staring down her bipolar disorder to encourage Baby Boomers to prepare for an old age of fulfillment. (Email this story to your family!)

Jane Pauley's "Your Life Calling" segment debuted on AARP at noon on Tuesday, and the world wants to hear what she has to say. Aging is no longer a topic of gloom and doom, Pauley says, as Americans are living longer and better than any of our predecessors.

Fifty-nine-year-old Jane Pauley (who's a mother to 27-year-old boy-girl twins and a 24-year-old son) says she doesn't want young generations to feel stress over the probability that their parents are going to live for decades to come. Pauley said she thinks of her own children and how she doesn't want them to feel responsible for her future (Pauley is married to Donnesbury cartoonish Garry Trudeau).
