Ever wondered why AI thinks you need to look younger? In this episode, Gretchen Andrew, a former Google employee turned artist, exposes the disturbing truth about how beauty filters are literally reshaping our faces—and our self-worth.We kick things off with Gretchen's bold pivot from Silicon Valley to the art world, where she's using robots, oil paint, and yes, glitter to reveal what beauty filters actually do to us. Her groundbreaking "FaceTune Portraits" physically apply AI beauty standards to paintings, creating violent scars and marks that show the hidden damage these "harmless" filters inflict on our identities.Gretchen breaks down the dirty secret of AI training data—how algorithms learn beauty from the most biased corners of the internet and create a feedback loop that makes everyone chase the same impossible standard. Even Miss Universe contestants aren't "good enough" for AI filters, and men in their 50s are rescheduling meetings just to use Zoom's "touch up my appearance" feature!From Hollywood actresses getting the same face-altering procedures to look good on small screens, to the shocking reality that social media may have incentivized us to provide facial recognition data for free, this conversation will change how you see every filter, every app, and every "enhanced" photo you encounter.Whether you're tired of the algorithmic beauty trap or just want to understand why everyone's starting to look the same, this episode is essential listening. Gretchen's insights will make you question everything about digital beauty—and maybe even inspire you to embrace what makes you uniquely human.“The question is: Do you want to look old and like yourself, or do you want to look like everybody else and look younger?” ~ Gretchen AndrewIn This Episode:-Leaving Silicon Valley for art-AI vs. beauty standards-The homogenization of beauty-Gretchen's partnership with Andreessen Horowitz-The real story behind AI beauty filters-Ageism in the art and tech world-How Gretchen uses social media for her workAnd much more!Resources:-Free Guide to LinkedIn Job Hunting for the 40+ Crew - https://www.itgetslateearly.com/job-guideConnect with Gretchen Andrew:-Website: https://www.gretchenandrew.com/-LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gretchen-andrew/-Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gretchenandrew/Connect with Maureen Clough:-LinkedIn: maureenwclough - https://www.linkedin.com/in/maureenwclough/-Website: itgetslateearly.com - https://www.itgetslateearly.com/-Instagram: @itgetslateearly - https://www.instagram.com/itgetslateearly/-YouTube:

What if everything you thought you knew about startup success was wrong? In today's episode of It Gets Late Early, I'm breaking down the myth that young, hoodie-wearing entrepreneurs are the key to successful startups. Spoiler: the data proves otherwise. According to MIT research, the average age of a high-growth startup founder is 42 — not 21. The top 1% of founders are even older, typically around 45 years old. Yet, venture capitalists continue to invest in young, inexperienced founders, ignoring the seasoned leaders with decades of experience.I also tackle the growing age discrimination in tech, where older workers are pushed out despite having the experience and connections that drive success. Companies that embrace diverse ages and experiences in their teams are the ones that succeed. Let's flip the script on startup success. It's time to stop assuming that youth equals innovation. It's never too late to go after your dreams, and age is an asset, not a liability.“So just why is it that older workers tend to be more successful? Two words: life experience.” ~ Maureen Wiley CloughIn This Episode:-Research from MIT: the truth about successful startup founders-The age bias in venture capital and tech hiring-Why older founders have an advantage over younger ones-The challenge to venture capitalists: stop funding failure-Encouraging older tech workers: your experience mattersAnd much more!Resources:-Free Guide to LinkedIn Job Hunting for the 40+ Crew - https://www.itgetslateearly.com/job-guide-EEOC Special Report - https://www.eeoc.gov/special-report/high-tech-low-inclusion-diversity-high-tech-workforce-and-sector-2014-2022-MIT Research on Age and High-Growth Entrepreneurship - https://mitsloan.mit.edu/shared/ods/documents?PublicationDocumentID=6212#:~:text=Our%20primary%20finding%20is%20that,growth%20new%20ventures%20is%2045.0.-Ageism in Tech Hiring - https://www.linkedin.com/posts/maureenwclough_tech-ageism-hiring-activity-7369769952683171841-u7zS?utm_source=social_share_send&utm_medium=member_desktop_web&rcm=ACoAAACPAV4BMEaPyyLI0T1Hayp_eLtXH5AO5-4-iPhone unveiling with Steve Jobs - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7qPAY9JqE4-Workplace Age Discrimination Cases Grow Nationwide - https://gbsbenefitsgroup.com/workplace-age-discrimination-cases-grow-nationwide/#:~:text=The%20Equal%20Employment%20Opportunity%20Commission%20(EEOC)%20has,Act%20(ADEA)%20as%20in%20fiscal%20year%202022-Late-Career Job Losses Are Blurring What Retirement Looks Like in America -

“If Plan A is meaningful enough, there should not be a Plan B and a Plan C.” Martha Hoover joins me for a wide-ranging, candid convo on vision, hospitality, change, and unapologetically starting your “second rodeo.” We talk about building something distinctive, even if the world isn't ready for it, parenting and businesses growing up like “twins,” learning to say "no", and why perfection is a trap. Martha shares stories—from sexism at the bank to learning stick shift in one afternoon—that show how courage, clarity, and follow-through beat “shoulda-coulda-woulda” every time. In this episode, we cover: Hospitality is its own “superpower”: making people feel truly welcomed in your sacred spaces Creating what you wanted—and trusting others want it, too Change as the only constant (and how to lean into it) Energy budgeting: non-negotiables, boundaries, and saying no without guilt Parenting, business, and growth on parallel timelines Ageism, relevance, and launching a “Second Rodeo” in your 70s Failing with joy, learning publicly, and persisting without a Plan B 3 Key Takeaways Define and defend your non-negotiables. Write them down, communicate them, and hold them—because expectations go both ways. Change isn't the enemy—resistance is. Treat pivots as progress: if something doesn't work, you've learned… and you can change again. Commit to Plan A. When the goal matters, ditch the escape hatches. Commitment calms the noise and focuses your energy.

October is World Menopause Month — and it's time to challenge one of the most persistent myths in our culture: that women's careers, beauty, and relevance come with an expiration date. Graydon Moffat, founder of Graydon Skincare, has made it her mission to defy that idea. She's spoken openly about ageism in entrepreneurship and about how women navigating perimenopause and beyond deserve to be seen, supported, and celebrated — not sidelined.Before becoming a skincare founder, Graydon had already reinvented herself more than once — from plant-based chef to yoga teacher — and it was through these experiences that she earned the nickname “The Skin Chef.” Her approach to beauty was never about anti-aging, but about nourishment and vitality. That same philosophy drives the formulas at Graydon Skincare, where super-powered superfoods meet proven clinical actives to create products that are as effective as they are ethical.Today, Graydon leads a female-founded, values-driven company grounded in ingredient transparency, sustainable packaging, and accessibility — proving that looking good and feeling good can go hand in hand. In this conversation, she shares her insights on aging, entrepreneurship, and building a conscious beauty brand that stands the test of time.This episode originally aired during Season 6.This season of our podcast is brought to you by TD Canada Women in Enterprise.

Life After Police Work: And Yes, Old Dogs Can Learn New Tricks, Special Episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. Where John Jay Wiley is a guest on the "Don't Be Caged By Your Age” Podcast. For many, retirement means slowing down. But for John Jay Wiley, a retired Baltimore Police Sergeant turned nationally syndicated radio broadcaster, life after police work became an opportunity to reinvent himself and inspire others along the way. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. In a recent special episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, Wiley appeared as a guest on Ande Lyons' Don't Be Caged By Your Age podcast, a program dedicated to helping people thrive after 65. The conversation focused on resilience, reinvention, and breaking age stereotypes, proving that, yes, old dogs can learn new tricks. This is a special episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available for free on our website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most podcast platforms. The episode, available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and most podcast platforms, has been promoted across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Medium, and other social media outlets. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . From Police Sergeant to Podcaster “I remember being in the Baltimore Police Academy in 1980 and an instructor telling us that the average maximum age for a Baltimore Police Officer at that time was 52, and that many of them died within two years of retirement,” Wiley recalled. “That hit me like a ton of bricks. Although I could never imagine myself being that old at the time.” READ THIS FREE ARTICLE: 3 Tips to Help You Stand Out from the Crowd. Wiley's law enforcement career ended abruptly after a career-ending injury, forcing him to make a difficult decision about what came next. Instead of allowing the setback to define his future, Wiley pivoted toward broadcasting, a leap that would eventually redefine his life. Life After Police Work: And Yes, Old Dogs Can Learn New Tricks, Special Episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. Over time, he built a successful second career as a nationally syndicated radio host and podcaster, launching the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show to give first responders, veterans, and their families a platform to share their real, unfiltered stories. “Resilience and mental health are topics we can't ignore,” Wiley shared. “Our show isn't about headlines or quick soundbites, it's about honest, authentic voices that deserve to be heard.” Embracing Technology: Old Dogs, New Tricks Beyond radio, Wiley faced another major challenge, technology. The world had gone digital, and for someone whose professional beginnings predated smartphones and social media, the learning curve was steep. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. “The question was, could this old dog learn new tricks?” Wiley joked. “Not only did I have to embrace technology, but I had to use it as a tool, to grow financially, expand my reach, and create multiple streams of revenue.” Today, Wiley connects with audiences across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and podcast platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Through these channels, he's built a national and international following, all while keeping the mission at the heart of his work, amplifying the voices of first responders. Life After Police Work: And Yes, Old Dogs Can Learn New Tricks, Special Episode. Challenging Age Stereotypes Ande Lyons, host of Don't Be Caged By Your Age, praised Wiley's energy and authenticity: “John Jay is a remarkable storyteller and advocate. He's living proof that thriving after 65 is possible, and that old assumptions about aging no longer apply. His courage to adapt and grow is exactly what inspires my audience.” Lyons' show celebrates pro-aging perspectives, weekly conversations with individuals who defy outdated expectations about what life “should” look like after 60. Her mission is to provide ideas, resources, and motivation for anyone seeking to flourish in later life. Wiley's story fit perfectly into that vision. The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. READ THIS FREE ARTICLE: Unplug and Disconnect for Success: The Power of Intentional Disconnection During the interview, they also discussed ageism, which Wiley addressed candidly: “Ageism is something that I have to acknowledge exists,” he said, “but I've never had my age stop me from being employed. I focus on selling my value. I don't need health insurance, I have flexibility in earnings, and I bring decades of experience. When employers realize that, they understand it costs less to hire me than a younger person.” Wiley's practical approach to self-worth and experience reframes aging as an advantage, not an obstacle. Building the Life You Want For Wiley, the key to his post-police success has been mindset. “It's about creating the life you want,” he explained. “Not the life dictated to you by others. Once I understood that, everything, broadcasting, podcasting, social media, technology, became tools to build something meaningful.” He's also quick to challenge stereotypes about older adults and technology. “You don't have to understand how something works to use it effectively,” he said. Life After Police Work: And Yes, Old Dogs Can Learn New Tricks, Special Episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Wiley illustrates the point with three simple examples: television, radio, and flight. Television: “I don't comprehend how the signal is broadcast or how the screen displays it, but I can turn it on and instantly be transported into another story, another world.” Radio: “I've worked in it for years, yet I still can't explain how sound travels that far. I just know that when I speak into a microphone, people everywhere can hear me.” Air travel: “It baffles me how something that big and heavy flies 500 miles an hour at 30,000 feet. But I don't need to understand it to benefit from it.” His philosophy is simple but powerful: focus on learning how to use technology, not how it works. A Story Worth Sharing Whether it's through the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show, podcasts, or social media, John Jay Wiley continues to use his platform to serve others, particularly those who've served their communities. His story is one of resilience, adaptability, and purpose, reminding listeners that the end of one career can be the beginning of another. Life After Police Work: And Yes, Old Dogs Can Learn New Tricks, Special Episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

Hasan Minhaj jokes about ageism in his Netflix special, "Off With His Head".

Despite Australia's retirement age now being 67, workers aged 51 to 55 are often considered to be older workers during hiring processes. The finding comes in new research from the Australian H-R Institute and the Australian Human Rights Commission. But it isn't news for workers in this age group, as several previous studies already found people in their 50s face age discrimination at work. So why is it so difficult to challenge discrimination against old age in the workforce? - অস্ট্রেলিয়ায় অবসরে যাওয়ার বয়স এখন ৬৭ বছর হলেও, ৫১ থেকে ৫৫ বছর বয়সী কর্মীদের নিয়োগ প্রক্রিয়ায় প্রায়শই “বয়স্ক কর্মী” হিসেবে গণ্য করা হয়। অস্ট্রেলিয়ান এইচ-আর ইনস্টিটিউট এবং অস্ট্রেলিয়ান হিউম্যান রাইটস কমিশনের নতুন গবেষণায় এ তথ্য উঠে এসেছে। তবে, এই বয়স-সীমার কর্মীদের কাছে বিষয়টি নতুন কিছু নয়; কারণ, আগের বেশ কয়েকটি গবেষণায় দেখা গেছে, ৫০ বছরের বেশি বয়সী মানুষ কর্মক্ষেত্রে বয়সজনিত বৈষম্যের শিকার হন। তাহলে প্রশ্ন হলো, কর্মক্ষেত্রে বয়সজনিত বৈষম্যের বিরুদ্ধে চ্যালেঞ্জ জানানো এত কঠিন কেন?

Author and playwright James Magruder sits down with Ian Henzel to talk about his new short story collection "No One Is Looking at You". We dig into theater's collaboration vs. fiction's heavier lift, how alpha readers sharpen the work, and why ageism in publishing—especially for older LGBTQ voices—still needs naming. James gets personal about the moments that carved his voice (HIV survival, grief, joy), the journals that keep him honest, and the books that feel like home. In this episode • Stage craft → story craft: what changes (and what doesn't) • “Head always in a book”: military-brat roots & early influences • Rejection, resilience, and building with feedback (alpha readers) • Ageism in LGBTQ literature and widening the lens • Journals, voice, and the surprise of how readers respond • Favorite “worlds to live in” and why they stick Read a sample from "No One is Looking at You" → [https://www.book2look.com/book/yKG9CfMgjL Get the book → https://rattlinggoodyarns.com/product/no-one-is-looking-at-you/ #James Magruder #No One Is Looking at You #theater #fiction #ageism #literature #writing #influences #LGBTQ literature #storytelling

Hire Yourself Podcast with Pete GilfillanThink ageism isn't real? Think again.In this episode, Pete Gilfillan tackles one of the toughest realities executives face as they hit their late 40s, 50s, and 60s: ageism. From being passed over for promotions to getting pushed out before you're ready, age bias is a growing problem in corporate America. Pete shares eight strategies to stay relevant, protect your future, and create your own Plan B.In this episode, Pete discusses:1. Acknowledge Ageism is Real Ignoring it won't protect you. Pete walks through how ageism shows up—and why recognizing it early lets you respond proactively.2. Update Your Resume and Online Presence Modernizing your LinkedIn and resume isn't cosmetic—it's critical. Pete explains how showcasing relevant, up-to-date skills counters bias.3. Keep Learning and Upskilling Show the market—and yourself—that you're adaptable. Whether it's AI, tech, or leadership, continuous learning keeps you competitive.4. Leverage Your Network and Mentor Others Strong relationships and active mentorship help prove your relevance and open new doors. Pete shares how to network with intention.5. Build a Side Plan to Take Back Control Pete reveals a scary stat: 50% of execs over 50 are pushed out—and only 10% earn as much again. A franchise or side business can be your safety net.Key Takeaways:Ageism is real—and it's getting worse.Staying relevant means staying visible, current, and connected.You need to be proactive, not reactive.A side business or franchise can create income security if corporate pushes you out.You can protect your future—but you have to start now.“You can't control ageism—but you can control how you prepare for it.” — Pete GilfillanCONNECT WITH PETE GILFILLAN:

Walking transformed anxiety into vitality for 69-year-old entrepreneur Ande Lyons, who discovered from a book-on-cassette that 35 minutes daily helped manage her symptoms and eventually led to her current six-mile routine despite facing osteoporosis. Ande argues that movement is a privilege rather than a chore, and that community connections matter more than almost anything else for healthy aging, while encouraging people to "take center stage" instead of becoming invisible as they age. Her journey from hiding her age in the startup world to becoming a pro-aging advocate demonstrates how shifting from apathy to action can redefine what thriving looks like in our later decades.

When it comes to planning for Colorado's fastest growing population, people 65 and older, the state's Senior Specialist on Aging says it needs to be a group effort. "The government can't do all this work, nonprofits can't do all this work, we need the business community involved, we need healthcare involved, we need philanthropy involved," said Kristine Burrows in a discussion with Chandra Thomas Whitfield in front of an audience at CPR News in May. They talk about the state's ongoing efforts to address everything from healthcare and housing to ageism. 

By the end of this decade, one in five Americans will be over 65—and for the first time in U.S. history, older adults will outnumber children. In this episode of This Is Getting Old, futurist and author Bradley Schurman explains why ageism is bad for business and how ignoring demographic change could quietly undermine success. We explore how businesses and communities can benefit by embracing older adults as workers, leaders, and consumers. Age-diverse teams perform better, inclusive businesses grow stronger, and recognizing the economic power of aging populations is key to building a sustainable future.

Will an era of rap that's finally making room for its male elders make equitable space for women and MaGes too? For this conversation we use the Clipse epic rollout as grown ass rappers (Pusha T, 48 & Malice, 53) launching their highly rated album and successful tour - to explore the experiences and P.O.V of Black women in and around the industry. I promise you it's not a reach. Culture writer Starr Rocque & PR Strategist Uchechi Chinyere join me to discuss all things Clipse, hip-hop, Black women & femmes. You don't have to know shxt about the Clipse or their latest album Let God Sort Em' Out to enjoy this conversation, but also please email and let me know how you managed to avoid knowing shxt about the Clipse during this very Clipse 2025. I think it's important to note that Tyler the Creator who shows up in one of the best features of the album is queer.

Late at night, in a quiet house, friendship comes into focus. Not the movie version of perfect brunches and four archetypes, but the real thing that takes energy to sustain and too often slips away in midlife.In this episode of Let's Talk with Coach Che Marville (a Top 10 Midlife Podcast in Canada), Che unpacks the “friendship recession” among women in midlife and the way perimenopause, stress, and loneliness amplify each other. She reflects on her mother's model of community, the research showing that friendship is a form of medicine, and the small rituals that help rebuild connections.This is a conversation about women, friendship, community, mental health, resilience and why we can't navigate midlife alone.Perimenopause is a time when hormones change inside the body—stress and loneliness intensify symptoms.Women with strong friendships are less likely to experience severe symptoms.Friendship is medicine, not a luxury.Social churn is natural: half our friends change every seven years.Continuity and a supportive circle matter most in midlife.Ageism and cultural shame add weight to this transition.Small rituals, such as calls, walks, and tea nights, keep friendships alive.Self-advocacy with doctors is a matter of survival, not selfishness.Midlife isn't a cliff it can be a bridge.Friendship Is Medicine: Midlife and PerimenopauseNavigating the Friendship Recession in Midlife Women00:00 – Perimenopause Without the Brochure08:15 – Why Friendship Slips Away15:32 – Stress × Loneliness × Symptoms22:45 – My Mother's Model of Community30:10 – Rebuilding Connection

Summary In this conversation, Dr. Cecilia Poon, a Geropsychologist, discusses the complexities of aging and caregiving. She emphasizes the psychological aspects of aging, the importance of communication between caregivers and older adults, and the resilience that can be found in both groups. The conversation also addresses denial in older adults, family dynamics that can complicate caregiving. Dr. Poon highlights the need for understanding and compassion in navigating these challenges, advocating for interdependence rather than dependency as individuals age.TakeawaysAging is a lifelong process that affects everyone differently.Psychological resilience is crucial for both older adults and caregivers.Communication is key to bridging gaps between caregivers and older adults.Denial can manifest in various ways and is not always negative.Family dynamics can complicate caregiving and perceptions of aging.Older adults often adapt to changes without recognizing them as aging.Asking for help is essential but can be stigmatized due to ageism.Resilience in aging involves flexibility and the ability to bounce back.Trust is fundamental in the caregiver-older adult relationship.Understanding the function of behaviors can help caregivers respond better.Chapters00:00 Understanding Aging: The Psychological Perspective10:42 Navigating Denial: Caregiver and Patient Dynamics19:25 Resilience in Aging: Embracing Interdependence24:06 Communication Strategies: Bridging the Gap with Older Adults28:35 Navigating Conversations with Healthcare Providers33:36 Addressing Family Denial and Communication Challenges38:07 Understanding Caregiver Dynamics and Responsibilities42:59 Navigating Manipulation and Independence in Aging53:15 Cognitive Impairment and Communication StrategiesKeywordsaging, caregiving, psychology, resilience, communication, denial, family dynamics, manipulation, interdependence, mental healthResources from Dr. PoonPlan Your LifespanAcross the lifespan  Reframing AgingAPA Resolution on Ageism.

Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know!Caught Between a Rock and a Hard Place - Age Discrimination in AustraliaNew research from the Australian Human Rights Commission reveals a shocking truth: employers are crying out for workers while systematically excluding them based on age. Key findings show only 56% of employers will hire 50-64 year olds, dropping to 28% for those 65+, while just 41% are open to hiring 15-24 year olds. Even more concerning - 24% of HR professionals now classify workers over 50 as "older," up 10% from 2023!Jane explores why this research is important to mid-career professionals, and shares strategies mature Australian workers can use to navigate this challenging landscape with confidence.For help to navigate these challenges, join Jane's CAREER SUCCESS PROGRAM at https://www.thecareersacademy.online Book one-on-one coaching support with Jane at https://www.janejacksoncoach.com Read the full article with links to research findings here:  https://janejacksoncoach.com/age-discrimination-australian-workers/ ------------ >>> For career clarity and confidence, download Jane's career resources at janejacksoncoach.com Support the showFind out what you MUST DO to make a successful career change and land the job you'll LOVE.

In 2021 the WHO considered classifing old age as a disease. Someone who challenged that classification is geriatric psychiatrist, Dr Kiran Rabheru.  

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITThe unpredictable dangers that surround us take center stage as I explore how quickly life can change when we least expect it. A Google software engineer's life was tragically cut short by a falling sequoia branch at Yosemite National Park, highlighting the random perils that exist even in nature's most beautiful settings. This sobering reminder of our vulnerability extends to supposed "controlled environments" too, as evidenced by the disturbing incident where an octopus latched onto a six-year-old boy at a Texas aquarium's interactive exhibit, requiring three staff members five minutes to free him.Beyond physical dangers, we're navigating social threats as well. The viral story of a 58-year-old professional who believes his age has rendered him unemployable resonates with many Gen-Xers and Boomers facing similar challenges. With studies showing 90% of workers over 40 experiencing ageism, it's clear that expertise and experience aren't always valued in today's job market. It's particularly frustrating when considering the superior work ethic many older workers bring to the table - something I've witnessed firsthand in my workplace, where punctuality and preparation vary dramatically between generations.My frustration reaches its peak when sharing how my workplace essentially penalized early arrivals by changing policies to accommodate chronically late employees. What kind of system discourages dedication while enabling tardiness? As I wrap up today's episode, I'm on the hunt for new television recommendations - preferably crime fiction without excessive elements, similar to Broadchurch or Landscapers. What are you watching right now that might fit my tastes? I'd love to hear your suggestions for solid, entertaining shows that don't sacrifice quality storytelling for agenda-pushing content.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREE Thanks for listening!

Hello Friends of The Shape of Care! Check out Next Chapters, my new podcast about growing older for women. It's a project of Our Bodies Ourselves, and the Trailer just launched. Episodes start on August 13th!

About Corrine Auman, PhD:  Corinne Auman is the founder of Choice Care Navigators, a company dedicated to helping families navigate the aging process. She is dedicated to fostering personal growth, resilience, and authentic living at every age. Corinne's passion lies in reshaping how we perceive older adulthood, a vision she beautifully encapsulates in her groundbreaking book, "Keenagers." Corinne is on a mission to change the conversation around aging. In a culture where many avoid thinking about older adulthood until the last minute, she urges us to embrace aging in a positive light. Her story is not just about her successes; it's a call for all of us to care about aging, dispelling myths and embracing the beauty and potential of every stage of life.   What We Discuss In This Episode: Corrine discussed the complexities of aging and the societal perceptions surrounding it. She emphasized the importance of a positive outlook on aging, arguing that it can empower families to plan effectively for their older loved ones, contrasting this with the panic often induced by negative cultural messages. We also addressed the challenges faced by caregivers, many of whom are older adults themselves. Corinne discussed the importance of self-care for caregivers and the need for expert guidance in navigating senior health care complexities. She provided insights on when families should consider transitioning elderly parents to senior living communities, advising preliminary research to ease the decision-making process during health crises. Corinne addressed the modern perspective on retirement, noting that individuals in their 40s, 50s, and 60s are rethinking what it means to retire. Corinne pointed out that there are no longer mandatory retirement ages, allowing people to continue working while collecting social security. Many choose to transition from their first careers to new ventures, such as consulting or starting businesses. We discussed the appropriate time for families to seek senior living communities for elderly parents. Corinne Auman detailed the spectrum of senior living options, from independent living to skilled nursing, highlighting the differences in care and support provided. She stressed the importance of researching these options in advance to alleviate stress during potential health crises. Corinne highlighted the unique stressors faced by adult caregivers and recommended seeking specialized therapy services. She detailed the differences between home care, which involves assistance with daily tasks, and home health, which includes medical therapies ordered by a doctor. Auman also noted that costs for these services can vary significantly by location and often require private payment.   Resource from Corrine Auman: Link to Corinne's book "Keenagers" - https://amzn.to/3Y6bmqP   Connect With Corrine Auman: Website: https://www.CorinneAuman.com    Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558512157337   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keenagersbook/   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/corinneauman/     Connect with Lynne: If you're looking for a community of like-minded women on a journey - just like you are - to improved health and wellness, overall balance, and increased confidence, check out Lynne's private community in The Energized Healthy Women's Club.
