Podcasts about Ageism

On this week's Political Breakfast, we're starting off with an increasingly contentious local race ahead of the June primary runoff elections: the race for Fulton County Commission Chair. Longtime incumbent Robb Pitts is being challenged by former District 4 Commissioner Mo Ivory. Recent debates between the two have been fiery and full of personal attacks. One issue voters are bringing up is age. Pitts is now in his mid-80s. How does ageism play into these elections -- from the Fulton Commission Chair, all the way up to the Georgia governor's race? Do these attacks on age have merit? Plus, Republican Lt. Gov. Burt Jones is now focusing his campaign for governor on safety concerns for Atlanta MARTA riders. That's after President Trump's Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced the feds are launching an investigation into how MARTA spends its money. The transit authority has dealt with a series of violent incidents just weeks ahead of the FIFA World Cup. Democratic strategist and attorney Anré Washington is here filling-in for strategist Tharon Johnson this week. Washington, Republican strategist Brian Robinson and host Lisa Rayam sort through this.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Age bias affects people across the entire career span. For women, this bias is compounded by gender, creating what researchers call “gendered ageism,” a double bind where there is effectively no “right” age to be a professional woman. Drawing on survey data from 913 women leaders across industries including law, healthcare, higher education, and nonprofits, Harvard Business Review research reveals a consistent pattern: women face age-based bias at every stage of their careers. Definitions of “young,” “middle-aged,” and “older” vary by context, but the experiences of discrimination are strikingly similar. Older women often encounter “oldism,” where they are viewed as less relevant or valuable, in contrast to men who are seen as gaining wisdom with age. Participants reported being overlooked for advancement and having their voices dismissed. Younger women face “youngism,” including being patronized, mistaken for junior staff, or not taken seriously in leadership roles. Many experience “credibility deficits,” where their expertise is questioned, forcing them to continually prove themselves. Appearance-based scrutiny is also common, with professional accomplishments overshadowed by comments on looks. Women in midlife—traditionally thought to be in a career “sweet spot”—fare no better. They are often judged based on assumptions about family responsibilities, menopause, or perceived lack of vitality. Hiring and promotion decisions frequently favor similarly aged men, reinforcing the idea that women are either “too young” or “too old,” but rarely seen as just right. Despite these challenges, research shows that age and gender diversity benefit organizations. Diverse teams perform better, especially in complex or crisis situations, while age discrimination reduces job satisfaction and engagement. The path forward does not rely solely on institutional change but also on individual action. Key strategies include examining personal assumptions about age, building intentional intergenerational relationships, advocating for age inclusion in diversity frameworks and actively supporting other women through mentorship, sponsorship, and amplification. Ultimately, the research highlights a systemic issue: age is often used as a convenient justification to undervalue women at any stage. Recognizing and challenging these patterns is essential to creating workplaces where women are seen as credible, capable, and worthy—at every age.

From an unknown actress to the First Lady of Musical Theatre, Dame Elaine Paige's story is one of the great showbusiness journeys. Eighteen years of auditions, rejection, and near-quitting before one role changed her life overnight. In this chat with Josh, Elaine opens up about the chaos that happened when the world found out she'd been cast in Evita, how she escaped a pack of journalists who chased her down the street, and the moment she burst into tears telling her mum she didn't want the fame that came with it. She tells the extraordinary story of how she came to perform the iconic song Memory in Cats, and taking to the stage in Sunset Boulevard only a few hours after recovering from breast cancer surgery. She also reflects on meeting actress Rachel Zegler who took on Elaine's famous role in Evita, the life-changing wisdom Stephen Sondheim passed on to her, and why she thinks music and arts in state schools should be everybody's urgent priority. Oh, and she has a copy of her 23rd solo album, Miscellaneous Paige on its way to Buckingham Palace for the King. Elaine's album Miscellaneous Paige is out July 17th and her single Only A Lifetime is out now

The workforce is aging faster than at any point in human history, and most organizations are responding by quietly writing off the very people who hold their hardest-won knowledge. Dan Pontefract calls the cost of that denial AgeDebt, and he believes it's building toward a crisis as slow-moving and as expensive to ignore as climate change.In this conversation, Dan Pontefract joins Charles Good to make the case that age is an asset, not a liability, and that the organizations willing to act now can convert their Age Debt into what he calls the Experience Dividend.Drawing on his new book The Future of Work Is Grey: The Untapped Value of Age in the Workforce, Dan throws out the tired generational labels (Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z) and replaces them with a more useful lens: Rivers(early-career, curious, fluid), Rocks (mid-career, resilient, the bridge generation), and Rubies (later-career, wisdom polished by time). His argument is both a wake-up call and a blueprint: the future of work is grey if leaders stay stuck in habitual patterns, but it can be gold if they learn to put Rivers,Rocks and Rubies on stage together.Whether you see yourself as a River, a Rock, or a Ruby today, this episode will give you a new language for one of the most overlooked sources of value in any organization, along with the everyday habits to start building it tomorrow.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhat "Age Debt" actually is, and why Dan compares it to climate change: a slow-moving crisis leaders have had the data on for decades, where the cost of doing nothing compounds quietly until it's enormous to fixThe Rivers, Rocks, and Rubies framework - three career-stage archetypes that replace birth-year labels, and why Dan says generational branding is actively harmful to good decision-makingWhy ageism is "the last socially acceptable -ism": the comments and assumptions about age that still pass unchallenged when equivalent remarks about race or gender never wouldHow ageism hits all three groups - Rivers dismissed as "not ready," Rocks written off as "stuck," Rubies treated as "expired" and Dan's own experience of being seen as both "too young" and "too old"The grey-to-gold mindset shift - what keeps organizations stuck in habitual patterns, and what changes when leaders stop fighting experience and start designing around itThe Experience Dividend - the measurable value of integrating insight, mentorship, and continuity across every age in your workforceEveryday Age — the small, repeatable habits any leader can start tomorrow to move from age-aware to age-savvy, no corporate program requiredAbout Dan PontefractDan Pontefract is a leadership strategist, keynote speaker, and author of several influential books on work, culture, and leadership, including Lead. Care. Win., Open to Think, The Purpose Effect, and Flat Army. His latest book is The Future of Work Is Grey: The Untapped Value of Age in the Workforce.

How can we approach aging with more joy, empathy, and meaningful connection?We often talk about lifespan, or how long we live, but Kerry Burnight believes the more important question is how fully we live along the way.Burnight is a gerontologist, former professor of geriatric medicine, and author of Joyspan: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life's Second Half. Drawing from decades of experience working with older adults, she discusses why adopting a “growth aging mindset” can change the way we think about getting older, and why autonomy matters just as much as safety in conversations with aging loved ones. As she puts it, “it's not just the big moments, it's the little moments, too.”In this Quick Thinks episode of Think Fast Talk Smart, Burnight and host Matt Abrahams explore the role of listening, storytelling, and empathy in effective communication across generations. Through memorable examples and actionable advice, Burnight offers a compassionate framework for talking about — and thinking about — aging differently.Episode Reference Links:Dr. Kerry BurnightKerry's Book: JoyspanEp.176 From Stereotypes to Synergy: Communicating Across Generations Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:53) - Aging Mindsets (05:21) - Give of the Day (08:49) - Difficult Aging Conversations (19:21) - Explaining Complex Ideas (20:50) - Conclusion  ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

A full life isn't about the quantity of time, but the quality.Our lifespan might describe how long we live, but it doesn't say anything about how well we live. For that, Kerry Burnight says, we need a different measure: joyspan.Burnight is a gerontologist, former professor of geriatric medicine, and author of Joyspan: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life's Second Half. In her decades working with older adults, she noticed a gap: “I would have a lot of people who lived long lives and were in pretty darn good physical health. They were miserable.” That observation led her to dig into the research on well-being — and to find what it takes to enjoy a long life, not just endure one.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Burnight joins host Matt Abrahams to explore her joyspan framework, explaining how growth, connection, adapting, and giving contribute to a full life. From changing the conversation around aging to communicating more effectively across generations, Burnight offers practical wisdom for living better at any age.Episode Reference Links:Dr. Kerry BurnightKerry's Book: JoyspanEp.176 From Stereotypes to Synergy: Communicating Across Generations Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (03:21) - Defining Joyspan (05:28) - The Joyspan Matrix (11:04) - Learning to Adjust (11:58) - The Power of Stories (15:39) - Internalized Ageism (18:41) - The Final Three Questions (26:00) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.

Do you have a lingering desire to start a wildlife career, but feel like it might be too late for you? Or maybe you're working on a wildlife career, but it isn't working for you, and time just keeps passing by? You got the degree, but then life got in the way, and you even had to get a non-wildlife job to pay the bills…Well, I'm here to tell you that whether you're 25, 45, or older, a wildlife career IS still possible for you (and yes, I get by 25-year-olds who think they are too late), and this week's Fancy Scientist podcast episode really proves it! I interviewed Yellowstone Park Ranger Lynda Moore about her journey from radiologist to environmental educator and what it's really like to work in one of the most famous protected areas. Lynda first spent 28 years working in healthcare before deciding to return to school in 2017. She graduated with her degree in wildlife conservation biology in 2021, just two weeks before her 58th birthday! Now, she is working in one of the most coveted locations in the world for wildlife job seekers: Yellowstone National Park.Through our conversation, you'll learn how Linda navigated the challenges of being a non-traditional student and successfully landed a position with the National Park Service. She didn't let age hold her back or fears about ageism in the workplace. In fact, she embraced her past experiences and used them to her advantage, leveraging her work as a radiologist to her new career while focusing on new strategies to land her a park service job. You'll learn that Lynda emphasized networking and learning from others, building relationships with professors and graduate students while getting her degree. She shares how she willingly raised her hand for new opportunities, including counting bee behaviors in a lab and driving across the country for internships.You'll also get an insider's perspective on the fascinating, and sometimes dangerous, reality of working in America's first National Park. Lynda discusses her role as an interpretive ranger, educating the public on everything from the park's unique thermal geology to the "Big Five" wildlife species in the United States. She shares eye-opening stories about "babysitting" a 2,000-pound bison and the constant struggle to keep tourists at a safe distance from unpredictable wild animals.I also asked Lynda about the technical side of landing a federal job. She credits her success to having a mentor help her navigate the notoriously difficult federal resume process. You'll learn about the new federal resume requirements and how she transitioned from the "healthcare brain" to the "biologist brain," and how she carried over the work ethic and supervisory skills from her previous career that made her a standout candidate.After the interview, I break down the take-home points that you can apply to your own journey, regardless of your age. I explain how previous "unrelated" career experience can actually contain a variety of transferable skills for wildlife jobs, how to network with people who are decades younger (or older) than you, and how seeking outside help from professionals can help you navigate something like the frustration of the federal application system.If you've ever told yourself you're "too old," that "it's too late," or that "employers won't hire someone my age," Linda is living proof that the National Park Service, and the wildlife field at large, needs your experience and your passion! And even if you aren't working towards a wildlife career, in this episode, you'll be fascinated by what it's like to work inside one of the world's most iconic parks. Specifically, we talk about:Linda's steps from a 28-year career in radiology to becoming a Park Ranger at YellowstoneWhat it's like to go back to school in your 50s and graduate alongside your own daughterHow starting your career later in life can work to your advantage: using "adult money" and maturity can be a competitive edge in wildlife workBehind-the-scenes of working at Old Faithful and educating the public on thermal safetyWhy "interpreting" wildlife behavior is actually a safety talk in disguiseFascinating animal facts and the emotional impact of seeing a wolf in the wild for the first timeLynda's most impactful animal moment with Lucy the Orangutan at the National ZooPractical tips for federal resumes and navigating the shift from long-form to two-page limitsThe reality of seasonal life in temporary wildlife workThe importance of using informational interviews to learn the "hidden" requirements of jobsWhy you should never underestimate yourself before you even apply for a jobThe mindset shift needed to overcome imposter syndrome as a career switcherHow protecting the natural world starts with educating a single tourist or childJump Links:02:56 Meet Ranger Linda04:13 Career Switch Story05:36 Internships And Mentors07:38 Landing Yellowstone Job08:24 Seasonal Life Logistics10:41 Ranger Duties Explained13:32 Visitor Questions And History15:24 Expectations Versus Reality18:08 Wildlife Safety Lessons19:52 Craziest Tourist Encounters25:04 Bison Babysitting And Bears27:44 Choosing Biology Later32:23 Networking in School34:09 Ageism and Confidence37:06 Federal Resume Tips39:40 Unforgettable Animal Moments43:52 Teaching Predators Balance45:39 How to Get Hired49:32 Key Takeaways Wrap UpDream of being a wildlife biologist, zoologist, conservation biologist, or ecologist?

In this engaging episode, we dive into the topic of ageism, challenging stereotypes and society's expectations around growing older with the dynamic Ande Lyons—a four-time founder, global startup mentor, and host of the “Don't Be Caged by Your Age” podcast. Ande Lyons, now 69, shares her personal experiences as a tech-savvy serial podcaster and pro-aging advocate, emphasizing the need to be visible, connected, and engaged at every stage of life.Our host discusses the gendered impact of ageism, especially in media and the workplace, where older adults—particularly women—often face challenges to their confidence and pocketbooks. Ande offers empowering advice for navigating the workforce, reframing senior employees as valuable “tech legends” who bring critical institutional knowledge, adaptability, and intergenerational synergy to the table.Touching on practical aspects of aging well, Ande highlights the importance of maintaining curiosity, trying new things—like hula hooping or salsa dancing at any age—and advocating for oneself in healthcare settings. The conversation celebrates those in their 60s, 70s, and beyond who embrace fashion, humor, and creativity, while also acknowledging the emotional journey of losing loved ones, staying active, and cherishing each day.Whether you're experiencing ageism directly or supporting someone who is, this episode offers encouragement to age out loud and proud, reminding us all that ambition and purpose have no expiration date. Don't miss inspiring anecdotes, actionable tips, and a warm call to reject shrinking with age in favor of fully expressing your unique gifts.SeniorLivingGuide.com Podcast sponsored by LIVDRY & TerraBella Senior LivingThe background music is written, performed, and produced exclusively by purple-planet.com.https://www.purple-planet.com/SeniorLivingGuide.com Webinars and Podcast represents the opinions and expertise of our guests.

Australians are living longer and longer, which is on one hand a beautiful thing. But on the other, prolonged old age is wreaking havoc. So how might we respond to this new demographic situation we find ourselves in?Lucinda Holdforth is a writer who specialises in looking at what makes good societies flourish, everything from manners to politics and equality.Most recently, she's set her sights on the unintended negative consequences following the extraordinary increase in life span around the world, particularly in Australia.In the past 50 years, human life expectancy across the globe has jumped from 46 years old to 73, and in Australia that number is even higher -- an Australian born today is likely to live until they are 84 years old.On the surface, living longer is a very good thing. It means more time spent with our loved ones, looking at the stars, feeling the sun, living.But prolonged old age can also be very lonely and painful, and, as Lucinda argues, it is costing society as a whole in many ways.She has seen this firsthand, as a daughter who supported her own parents in their long old age, and has some surprising suggestions about how we could do things differently to ease the impact on our economy, our medical system, our elderly and our youth.GOING ON AND ON: Why our longevity threatens our future is published by Simon & Schuster.This episode was produced by Meggie Morris.

In episode four of Five Shades of Grey — a five-part limited series within Leadership NOW — Dan Pontefract takes on the fourth shade of his sixth book, "The Future of Work Is Grey." Why ageism is the last socially acceptable bias in the modern workplace. Why seventy-eight percent of American workers between 40 and 65 have personally experienced or witnessed it. Why the EEOC's 2026 docket is full of cases nobody read about — Wendy's, Builders FirstSource, South Valley Care Center, J&M Industries. Why ageism runs in every direction — against the young, the middle, and the experienced — and why the form your inclusive colleagues commit most often is the one they cannot see. And why the silent saboteur stays silent only as long as you refuse to name it. The cost is rising. Five Shades of Grey is a five-part limited series.

EP 652 Unpacking the Silent Crisis of Men & Women in Modern Society, Ageism, Anxiety & Mental Health

Are you working in a system designed to discard you? Today on Eyes Wide Open, we're joined by advocate and podcast host Maureen Wiley Clough to pull back the curtain on the end of job security due to unseen systems of corporate greed, ageism, and the erosion of worker rights.    We explore the radical intentionality required to survive an era of mass layoffs and AI existential risks while maintaining your dignity and agency.   In this episode, we dive into the "ghost workforce" and how surveillance and corporate disempowerment have become the new standard in the modern workplace. Maureen shares her insights on why ageism is starting earlier than ever and how the American social contract is failing mid-to-late career workers.   We discuss the power of collective action, the myth of "job security," and practical strategies like economic activism and "wallet voting" to force systemic reform.   Whether you're navigating an involuntary shift into the gig economy or fighting for transparency in your current role, this conversation provides a roadmap for returning to a culture of unity, leadership, and common humanity.   About Maureen Riley Clough   Maureen Riley Clough is a career empowerment partner, content creator, and public speaker.

ReDesigning Your Creative Career After 50with Philip VanDusenIf you're a creative professional over 50, redesigning your creative career after 50 isn't about starting over, it's about building resilience, relevance, and long-term leverage. In this episode, I walk you through a practical framework for career reinvention, income diversification, and staying professionally valuable in an AI-accelerated world.The Workbook Prompts:"If traditional employment became unreliable tomorrow, how else could I create value with what I know?""Which parts of my work still challenge my thinking, and which parts simply consume my energy?""What would it look like to make that guidance explicit, structured, and an 'intellectual deliverable' that I could be paid for?""List five potential, or existing income streams you could realistically develop over the next few years.""Where in my work does human context matter more than speed?""Write down the names of three people you would want in the room as you rethink, and redesign, the next phase of your career."Many experienced designers, creatives, and agency professionals discover that traditional employment becomes less reliable later in their careers. Ageism, shifting business models, global competition, and AI-driven automation are reshaping the creative industry. Instead of chasing employability, I'll show you how to build resilience, intellectual deliverables, multiple income streams, and a network that actually supports your next chapter.This is a guided workshop for experienced creative professionals who want clarity, stability, and long-term career insurance.If you're serious about redesigning your career with intention, explore BONFIRE, my mastermind community for experienced creatives navigating this exact transition.BONFIRE: Mastermind Community for Creative Proshttps://philipvandusen.com/bonfire________________________________WEBSITEhttps://www.philipvandusen.comBRAND•MUSE NEWSLETTER  https://www.philipvandusen.com/museCREATIVE PROFESSIONAL COACHINGhttps://philipvandusen.com/oneononeYOUTUBEhttps://www.youtube.com/philipvandusenBRAND DESIGN MASTERS PODCAST https://podcast.branddesignmasters.com/subscribeBRAND STRATEGY 101 COURSEhttps://philipvandusen.com/bs101LINKEDINhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/philipvandusen/THREADShttps://www.threads.net/@philipvandusen FACEBOOKhttps://www.facebook.com/philipvandusen.agency/____________________________Philip VanDusen is a branding consultant based in New York.

Eating disorders in midlife are increasing, yet they are often missed, misunderstood, or dismissed as “normal” aging concerns. During midlife, many people notice a sudden intensification of food struggles, body dissatisfaction, and eating disorder symptoms such as restriction, binge eating, or food anxiety. This is not random. It is the result of a powerful intersection between ageism, diet culture, and midlife body changes. In this episode, I sit down with Deb Benfield, RDN (@agingbodyliberation), to break down why eating disorders can become more complex during midlife and how pressure to stay thin and young directly fuels disordered eating patterns and recovery challenges. Ageism, Body Image, & Diet Culture in Midlife Ageism and diet culture work together to shape body image and eating behaviors in midlife. During this stage of life, messaging around anti-aging, weight loss, and “fixing” your body becomes louder and more targeted. Cultural narratives reinforce that thinness and youth equal worth, increasing body dissatisfaction and pressure to control food, weight, and appearance. During this conversation, we explore how diet culture does not fade with age. It adapts. Wellness culture, anti-aging industries, and weight-focused health messaging continue to position the body as a problem. This environment can intensify eating disorder symptoms, especially for those with a history of dieting, binge eating, restriction, or ARFID. Midlife Body Changes, Menopause & Eating Disorder Triggers Midlife body changes, including perimenopause and menopause, can act as major triggers for eating disorders. Hormonal shifts, metabolism changes, and body composition changes often occur outside of personal control, which can feel destabilizing and distressing. During midlife, messaging about menopause, weight gain, and “optimal health” often promotes restriction, rigid eating rules, and increased exercise. These approaches can worsen eating disorder symptoms and create more disconnection from hunger, fullness, and body cues. We discuss how these pressures contribute to food anxiety, body monitoring, and difficulty trusting your body during eating disorder recovery. The Pressure to Stay Thin & Young in Midlife The pressure to stay thin and young intensifies during midlife and is reinforced through diet culture, wellness culture, and anti-aging messaging. From weight loss interventions to GLP-1 medications to strict health routines, the message is clear: your body must be controlled to remain acceptable. Deb invites us to ask a critical question: who benefits from your fear of aging and body change? When fear drives behavior, it becomes easier to stay stuck in cycles of restriction, binge eating, or compulsive movement. This section explores how fear-based messaging disrupts body trust and reinforces eating disorder patterns. Body Image, Identity & Eating Disorders in Midlife Body image in midlife is deeply connected to identity, belonging, and perceived social value. During this stage, changes in appearance can feel like a loss of visibility or relevance in a culture that prioritizes youth and thinness. This can lead to increased body monitoring, comparison, and attempts to control weight or shape. We also explore how intersectionality shapes eating disorder experiences. Factors such as race, body size, disability, gender identity, and neurodivergence can amplify pressure and marginalization. Eating disorders in midlife are influenced by these broader systems, which affect access to care, safety, and support. Eating Disorder Recovery in Midlife: Rebuilding Body Trust Eating disorder recovery in midlife is not about returning to a previous version of your body. It is about building a new relationship with your body that is rooted in trust, nourishment, and care. Deb shares how recovery can include untangling internalized ageism, challenging diet culture beliefs, and reconnecting with hunger, fullness, and rest. Creating a sense of safety in the body is essential, especially during a time when cultural messaging promotes undernourishment and overexertion. Recovery in midlife can support greater flexibility, connection, and sustainability in your relationship with food. A More Expansive Approach to Aging, Body Image & Body Diversity During this episode, we explore the limitations of pro-aging and body image spaces that still center thin, white, able-bodied bodies. Expanding the definition of beauty and embracing body diversity across ages is essential for meaningful eating disorder recovery. Midlife can offer an opportunity to reconnect with your values, shift away from body control, and move toward a more expansive understanding of yourself. Aging does not have to be something to fight. It can create space for clarity, autonomy, and deeper connection. Key Takeaway Your body is not the project of your life. Your body is your partner. Eating disorder recovery in midlife can include more trust, flexibility, and freedom.

The inquiry follows the latest data from Endometriosis UK showing it takes on average nine years and four months for diagnosis of endometriosis in the UK, a statistic that hasn't improved in over a decade. Labour MP Kirsteen Sullivan, who chairs the inquiry, and Bethan Allen, who has the condition, discuss how this can be improved and what employers should do to support sufferers.If you're in your 50s and feeling as though the workplace is quietly moving on without you, overlooked or pushed out, you're not alone.

And Eleanor Mills, who runs a website for midlife women, or “Queenagers” as she calls them, argues this period of life is not about decline, but about being on the cusp of something transformative. Each year egg donation enables between 2,000 and 3,000 women to have children who otherwise wouldn't be able to. One woman, Gini Bhogal, helped someone in this way after donating her eggs to a woman she met randomly on a London Tube. It began on a crowded carriage in the early 90s, and when she spoke about it on social media she says the reaction was overwhelming. Gini and Christopher, the child born from that donation, explain how he came to be conceived and how he found out about his origins.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Melanie Abbott

Mariann Aalda—actor, hypnotherapist, and joyful “pro-aging evangelist”—invites us to rethink what it means to grow older. She interrogates ageism, asking“ Why should youth get all the good press?” And declares, “My vibrancy and vitality are due to my being Age-full, not Youth-full!” Drawing on a 30-year television career and her work in hypnotherapy and neurolinguistic programming (NLP), Mariann explores how language shapes our inner lives—“the words we use become internalized and we behave accordingly.” Today, through stand-up and solo performance, she shares her authentic self with candor and humor, encouraging women to pursue their dreams and “use our time wisely with curiosity, creativity, and joy.”“I'm not an older version of myself—I'm the Newest Model.” - Mariann AaldaConnect with MariannEmail: mariannaalda@aol.comAging Shamelessly https://www.mariannaaldainherprime.com ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSOur Sponsor: Plymouth Place in LaGrange Park, IL. has redefined senior living with options and opportunities to fit individual needs and preferences.

In this episode of Leading You… I’m talking about something I’m hearing more and more… age. Not ageing itself, but the story people start telling themselves about what it means.“I’m too old.” “They’ll choose someone younger.” “I feel invisible.” Most people aren’t being told they’re past it. They’re deciding that themselves. And once that story takes hold, it changes how you show up. You hesitate, hold back, and start questioning whether you belong in rooms you absolutely belong in. This episode brings it back to what actually matters… your value, your positioning, and your relevance. Because experience plus self-belief plus relevance equals authority. In this episode, I explore: Why age becomes a problem when it turns into identity How that thinking impacts confidence, behaviour and visibility Why ageism is real, but you still can’t hand over your power The difference between capability and relevance How to reposition yourself for what’s next Timestamps: 00:00 Welcome00:26 Why age feels bigger than it should02:31 The age story trap04:26 Ageism and ownership07:59 Relevance over age09:55 Future relevance11:03 Mindset shifts13:45 Authority14:46 Final thoughts16:07 Close Links:Learn more about my group coaching program here Connect with Julie:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/julie-hyde/Instagram: @juliehydeleadsWebsite: https://juliehyde.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 81 of Body Justice Podcast is all about the intersection of diet culture and ageism. We discuss how these systems impact our relationship to food and body, especially as we age. We explore how the skincare industry has emerged as the new diet culture and how it is rooted in a socialized fear of aging.

Join Mark Carey in this eye-opening episode of Employee Survival Guide® as he uncovers the stark realities of age discrimination through the lens of the landmark legal case, Caldrone v. Circle K Stores, Inc. This episode dives deep into the hidden job market, revealing how formal promotion processes often stand in stark contrast to the informal practices that can sideline highly qualified older employees in favor of younger candidates. Age discrimination is not just a buzzword; it's a pressing issue that affects countless employees navigating their careers. Carey takes listeners through the multi-year legal saga of Caldrone v. Circle K, where seasoned employees in their 50s allege they were systematically pushed out during a tumultuous corporate restructuring. This episode highlights the plaintiffs' compelling complaints, which include overtly ageist remarks made by management, whistleblower allegations regarding environmental violations, and a corporate response that flatly denies any wrongdoing. As we explore the intricacies of employment law and employee rights, you'll gain valuable insights into how age discrimination manifests in the workplace and what you can do to protect yourself. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals recently overturned a lower court's dismissal of this critical case, allowing the plaintiffs to present their claims of age discrimination and retaliation in court. This ruling is a significant victory for employee rights and sets a precedent for future workplace discrimination cases. Mark emphasizes the importance of understanding your rights and the often opaque corporate practices that can lead to discrimination in the workplace. Are you ready to empower yourself with knowledge that could change your career trajectory?

Thirty years ago this July, a catchy song called ‘Wannabe’, sung by a then-unknown pop group called the Spice Girls, hit radio airwaves – and a global phenomenon was born. For Melanie C, who was just 22 at the time and one-fifth of the group that brought “girl power” to a new generation, the sudden blast of “Spice mania” was intoxicating, intimidating and ultimately short-lived. Three decades later, Melanie is a successful solo artist who has also found her groove touring the world as a DJ, she is a coach on The Voice Australia, and she remains close to all of her former bandmates. On this episode of the Stellar podcast, Melanie opens up about what really goes on in group chats with her fellow Spice Girls, explains how her upcoming album and world tour hark back to her early days as a raver, and explains how finding love with an Australian helped her grow more comfortable with work/life balance. Plus, she answers the eternal question: could the Spice Girls someday make their way here for their first-ever Australian shows? Watch the full episode with Melanie C here.

In this episode of the Revolutionize Your Retirement Interview with Experts series, host Dori Mintzer speaks with Dr. Linda P. Fried, a global leader in healthy aging, about why rising longevity is a hard-won success rather than a crisis, how the shift to older populations is transforming societies worldwide, what older adults most want from later life (independence, purpose, learning, contribution, and mattering), and the many often-unseen ways older people already bolster economies and communities through work, caregiving, and volunteering, challenging fear-based narratives like the “old-age dependency ratio” and the impact of ageism and age segregation.Key topics discussedThe value of longer lives and demographic change: Public health advances have added decades to average life expectancy, bringing the U.S. to the brink of having 20% of its population over 65 and creating a new demographic reality shared by many countries.What older adults want: Global and U.S. studies show older people consistently prioritize aging in place, avoiding being a burden, maintaining relationships, having purpose, lifelong learning opportunities, respected voices in community life, and roles where they truly matter.Mattering, retirement, and mental health: Research highlighted in the Wall Street Journal finds many retirees feel less valued, needed, and connected, with loss of mattering predicting post‑retirement depression and illustrating how identity and health are tied to meaningful roles.Economic and civic contributions of older adults: Older people's paid work and volunteering together are estimated to equal roughly 7% of U.S. GDP, while economic evidence shows older workers strengthen rather than crowd out opportunities for younger workers.Ageism, age segregation, and distorted narratives: Dominant policy tools such as the old‑age dependency ratio frame older adults as dependents, reinforcing ageist beliefs and obscuring real contributions, especially in a highly age‑segregated society where generations rarely mix.Capabilities and assets of later life: Science increasingly documents that aging can bring new cognitive strengths (complex problem analysis, values‑based judgment, breaking problems into steps), greater prosocial motivation, generosity, emotional balance, capacity for conflict mediation, and a generative drive to leave the world better.Connect with Dr. Linda P.

Hot flashes. Brain fog. Sleepless nights. For too long, we've mislabeled midlife women's health as burnout, anxiety, or a loss of ambition. But what if the real issue isn't performance — it's hormones? In this episode of Hello Monday, Jessi Hempel talks with Joanna Strober, founder and CEO of Midi Health, about menopause, perimenopause, hormone therapy, and power at work. Together, they unpack how gaps in women's healthcare during midlife are quietly pushing talented leaders out of the workforce at the exact moment they should be accelerating. After struggling to get proper treatment for her own perimenopause symptoms, Joanna built Midi Health to deliver insurance-covered, expert virtual care focused on women in midlife. This conversation goes beyond hot flashes — it's about workplace equity, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), ageism, health misdiagnoses, and why normalizing menopause could unlock a generation of leadership. Because menopause isn't a road bump, with the right care, it can be a power surge. Jessi and Joanna discuss: The difference between perimenopause and menopause, and why the distinction matters for women's health at work Why 1 in 5 women in their 40s are prescribed SSRIs — and how hormonal shifts are often overlooked Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and non-hormonal menopause treatments The workplace impact of untreated menopause symptoms, including research showing women may lose authority during visible symptoms like hot flashes How employers can support midlife women through better insurance coverage  Ageism in the workplace — and why women in their 50s may be primed for peak performance How normalizing menopause conversations can help women reclaim power Follow Joanna Strober and Jessi Hempel on LinkedIn.

Ageism rules again on the Benchwarmers Trivia Podcast as Luks continues to receive unprovoked strays related to his age. The team briefly discussed Luks' teammates at Pyramid University, and when Luks has his come to Moses (Malone?) moment. Still, the teams survive. Mason has a particularly low energy check-in (certainly not because he is perturbed by a question!). But after all, this is not Rocket Science! Dave asserts that we should beep out Mark Reynolds, just for being Mark Reynolds.

If you've ever hidden in the back of a family photo, skipped a headshot session, or cringed when you saw a candid picture of yourself, this episode is for you.I sat down with Kristen Vallejo, a portrait and branding photographer based in upstate New York, who has made it her mission to help women feel comfortable and confident being seen. In this conversation, we unpack why so many of us (especially women navigating midlife) have such a complicated relationship with being photographed. We talk about the role social media has played in making us feel like every picture has to be perfect, why menopause can make it even harder to recognize yourself in photos, and how we can start to shift that.One of the most powerful reframes Kristen shares is this: visibility is generosity. When you hide from the camera, you're also withholding yourself ( your gifts, your presence, your relatability) from the people who need to see you. That hit me in a deep way, and I think it will for you too.We also talk about body diversity and representation, why photographers aren't looking at you with the critical lens you're using on yourself, and some practical tips to make any photo session feel less like a pressure cooker.Kristen's missing ingredient in midlife? Novelty. And I love that answer.In this episode, we cover:Why so many women approach the camera with terror, and what's underneath itHow social media has raised the bar for "acceptable" photos and what that costs usWhy going through menopause can make seeing yourself in photos feel particularly confrontingWhat body neutrality looks like in practice, even in a portrait sessionThe power of representation and why your visible presence matters more than you thinkPractical tips for preparing for a photo session without the overwhelmAbout Kristen Vallejo: Kristen Vallejo is a portrait and branding photographer based in upstate New York, specializing in entrepreneurs, small business owners, and those with animals in their work. She's passionate about capturing the real person behind the lens — not just a polished pose.

The duo dives deep into Rippling's bold Super Bowl debut featuring Tim Robinson, debating whether the "evil genius" move is a brilliant recruitment play or a calculated nod to Wall Street. While Microsoft celebrates a massive LinkedIn revenue milestone—proving the platform has officially pivoted from a resume database to a short-form video powerhouse—the hosts shift gears to the grittier side of the job hunt. From the rise of "Resume Botox" and ageism to the "resume slop" currently clogging AI-driven hiring funnels, the gloves come off. Plus, don't miss the heated critique of ZipRecruiter's new "Be Seen First" feature, which Emi and Joel argue might be doing more harm than good for the modern candidate.

It is such a pleasure to welcome Jacynth Bassett, the founder of Ageism Is Never In Style onto the podcast.Ageism Is Never In Style is an incredible consultancy and community platform for age inclusivity and intergenerational connection. Jacynth founded it in 2016 and it has led to her being labelled one of "22 Londoners Changing the World". Jacynth's mission is to "change hearts & minds around age, empower every life stage, and drive positive commercial and cultural transformation" and boy is she doing a great job of it.During the podcast we have the most amazing conversation about the work that Jacynth is doing and how she feels about the beauty industry's attitude towards ageing. We have a really honest and I think powerful chat about what needs to change and how we can get to a place where all ages are respected and can work together to make positive change.This episode is fascinating and as you can imagine, I LOVE the work Jacynth is doing. This is a real must listen.
