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. 

Send us a textRHOM-Sisters, Secrets & Scarlet NightsRHOM S7 E15 – Birthday Blues CruisePodcast SummaryThe episode starts light with Kiki and Julia poolside while the aerobics crew (Guerdy, Larsa, Marysol, Alexia) reminisce over ‘80s throwbacks—Alexia admitting she unknowingly dated a “cocaine cowboy.” Stephanie joins, and talk shifts to Adriana's birthday. Julia worries Adriana won't want to celebrate because of ageism in the group.Meanwhile, Larsa and Lisa finally bury the hatchet, hugging it out and agreeing to move forward despite old paparazzi drama. With that feud cooling, the ladies set their sights on reconciling Alexia and Stephanie.At the spa day, Guerdy opens up to Adriana about therapy and the fear of revisiting childhood trauma. Later, Stephanie and Alexia hash things out in the mud room. What starts as tension over rules and alliances turns emotional as Alexia reveals a broken relationship with her sister. Both women end up in tears, hugging it out and agreeing to work on delivery.The night's Scarlet Party brings red dresses, latex, sex talk, and a surprise birthday cake for Adriana—complete with a messy “32 x 2 – 5 = 59” topper. Julia wipes the numbers off as chants of “We need boys!” summon men with shots.Back in Miami, real life resumes: Julia deals with pet messes, Lisa manages the kids, and Kiki navigates teen drama with her daughter spilling that her brother Shamar is kissing girls. Guerdy digs deeper in solo therapy, confronting painful memories of immigration, isolation, and resentment toward her parents.Marysol and Steve host Alexia and Frankie, joking darkly about being in danger as Peter continues to text. Later, Stephanie preps her big Christmas party, where Adriana will perform with a 10-piece band. Adriana admits she misses her boyfriend in France, while Stephanie learns from her that Marysol wields influence like a PR pro. Stephanie issues a confessional warning: if Marisol comes for her, she better not miss.Support the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/

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. We mention his feature, but not his queerness, which IS relevant in THIS conversation.

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.  

Are you in your late 40s or beyond?If so, you have decades of valuable experience, a powerful network, and a laundry list of success metrics. But lately, you may be feeling stuck in your career. * You're no longer moving up. * You're watching your younger colleagues get promoted. * Recruiters ghost you more often now. * Job interviews stall out even when you think you interviewed well. You're too experienced for entry-level or mid-level roles. And when you aim for more senior leadership or executive roles, you discover they want someone with 25 years of experience who's only 35 years old. Heaven help you if you get laid off now. It's not a pretty job market for anyone, especially an older worker. “People laid off at higher ages are less likely to move into a new field than those who quit, said Kevin Cahill, an economist at FTI Consulting. “Ageism and higher compensation expectations can be obstacles to re-employment, he said.” (source)* It takes nearly 26 weeks, on average, for people ages 55 to 64 to find a job, compared with 19 weeks for people ages 25 to 34, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.* Older career workers who find new jobs take an 11% pay cut, on average, according to a forthcoming study Cahill co-wrote.So, why not take an early retirement? Well, I bet you're not there yet. Financially, emotionally, or physically. The sad truth is that people who retire sooner die earlier. Believe me, you're not alone in feeling this way and facing this issue. This “messy middle” of our professional careers is real, and it's brutal.But it's also where your next move can be your most powerful. I know it doesn't feel like it right now, but reinventing yourself can lead to living the best years of your life. I'm living proof, and there are lots of us who have done it. It's been over 15 years since I fled my old corporate career to pivot into something new. I built my own businesses, started working out every day, and reinvested in my most important relationships. My sense of loss and depression shifted into joy and fulfillment. I've never been happier! The Messy Middle You're not imagining things, and it's not just you. The job market has shifted under your feet while the economy has been struggling, and political chaos ensues. * Good roles are becoming rarer, and expectations are higher.* Companies are cutting layers of middle and senior management.* They are also eliminating entry-level roles and leaning on fewer employees augmented with AI. * Ageism is real (especially in tech and startups), but hard to prove. * AI is quietly replacing parts of your job.* Younger, cheaper hires are more appealing than the cost of more experienced employees.You didn't do anything wrong. But the system isn't built for you anymore.“The tide has definitely turned against tech workers,” said Catherine Bracy, the founder and chief executive of TechEquity, a nonprofit that pushes for economic inclusion in the industry. “Companies have even more leverage to use against workers, and A.I. is supercharging that.” (source)Traditional Career Advice Fails You “Just update your LinkedIn and polish your resume! Start easy applying to hundreds of jobs every week.”Yeah… no. When you've had a long, complex career, playing the “cold-apply resume” game is a sure-fire way to lose. The hiring process is automated and biased. Most online applications are dead ends, and older workers are screwed. You need a new strategy for this new game.Your leverage is different nowAt this stage of your career, you have leverage that younger people don't. Stop being shy about using your advantages!* Relationships: The network you've built for decades is more powerful than you think.* Reputation: People know your name. They've seen your work. They already trust you.* Experience: You've led, built, scaled, failed, recovered, and learned. Your insights are rare and valuable.Three paths out of the messy middle1. Reposition and rebrand2. Redesign your role3. Find more purposeI go into more detail in the podcast audio, so scroll up, hit play, and listen. Real stories of reinvention * David Jesse - Executive Product Leader, advisor, coach, and founder of Crescendo Product Group * Ha Nguyen - Founder and Managing Partner at NextStep Advisors * Maureen Wiley Clough - Host of It Gets Late Early, a podcast and community of tech employees bringing awareness to ageismNone of them waited for someone to “give them a shot.” They stopped playing the game that was rigged against them. They created their next opportunity.You can too.What to do this monthHere's your 3-step personal challenge:* Rewrite one part of the “Story of You”What's the outdated identity or job title you're clinging to?

Reach out, reconnect, and have a real conversation. I created a free CRM to help with this. * Map out your next move If you weren't looking for a job, what kind of business might you build?

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!

We were discussing the role of degrees in job seeking and hiring this week and we had a question from one person who said he was struggling to get interviews despite 30 years of experience. So we ask: What are the rules around ageism here in the UAE when it comes to getting a job? Lawyer Thenji Moyo joins Jennifer to shed light on this Researchers say we live in an age where loneliness is affecting people of all ages, genders and nationalities and it's a particular issue here in the UAE, where working days are long and relationships can feel transient. And now, it seems, this lack of close relationships is being worsened by a rise in ghosting - when a friend leaves your life with no warning and no explanation. So, why is ghosting on the rise and what does it mean for how we form friendships? We find out from Clinical Psychologist Dr Asha Dullabh. And a new UNICEF‐led UN study has found that nearly 60% of young people have experienced secondary trauma from consuming media content featuring graphic images of conflict online. Dr. Aseel Takshe, Acting Dean of the School of Health Sciences and Psychology at Canadian University Dubai tells us what it means about our online environment and what parents and young adults need to know.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New research confirms what many already feel, ageism in Australian workplaces starts as early as 51. But what can job seekers over 50+ do to stay competitive? In this episode, experienced HR consultant Shakun Narang discusses how age bias shows up in hiring and promotions and shares practical strategies for those looking to switch roles or re-enter the workforce.

This episode is dedicated to The Clipse, their amazing new album “Let God Sort Em Out” and Hip Hop itself. Joining me on this pod is my good friend and wiseman Honja aka Jack Nickelz who also has Jake The Snake EP thats out right now.

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?

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.

What if I told you that the women whose images plaster stadium walls, who bring in millions for the NFL, were making less per hour than a Starbucks barista? The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders Netflix phenomenon exposed something we all suspected but didn't want to say out loud—that our obsession with perfection comes at a brutal cost. Meanwhile, our beloved Sex and the City characters returned in And Just Like That, only to reveal how privilege and aging intersect in ways that make us cringe harder than a bad first date.In today's episode, we're diving deep into both cultural moments that had us all talking. From Kelly Finglass and Judy Trammell's leadership styles to the body image pressures that come with those iconic uniforms, we're unpacking what these shows really tell us about conformity, empowerment, and the price of looking perfect. Plus, I'm serving up some serious tea about ageism in pop culture and why Carrie Bradshaw's character development makes me want to throw my Manolos at the TV.In this episode, we cover:How the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders' 400% pay raise happened and why it still might not be enoughThe real story behind those uniforms and what they reveal about body image standardsWhy Kelly Finglass and Judy Trammell's leadership approach changed between seasonsHow Armani's alopecia journey became a powerful moment for diversity and representationThe brutal truth about conformity versus standing out in high-pressure environmentsWhy And Just Like That feels so tone-deaf compared to the original Sex and the CityHow fashion and privilege intersect in ways that make beloved characters insufferableThe ageism double standard that keeps women invisible after 50This episode got me thinking about how we navigate the tension between fitting in and standing out, whether we're 25 or 55.

It is the cheerleaders. Like they are their own brand.""There's so much of like, you will get kicked off, right?

In a culture obsessed with youth and novelty, the Torah offers a radically different vision: “Mipnei seivah takum”—rise before the elderly. This week, Rabbi Josh Feigelson explores the mitzvah of honoring elders as both an ethical imperative and a powerful opportunity for mindfulness. Drawing on Jewish wisdom, comedy legend Mel Brooks, and spiritual practice, Josh invites us to confront our own discomfort with aging and instead embrace the dignity, humanity, and wisdom of our elders.

Kate is an international model, writer and yoga teacher, who is passionate about using her voice to challenge outdated ideas in fashion and beyond. Kate has been modelling for 4 decades and has worked for so many incredible designers and iconic brands, appearing in fashion shoots and runway shows all over the world. Now at 57, Kate is speaking out against ageism and advocating for change. In this conversation we hear how Kate got started in modelling, and by the time she was 19, was living in New York and flying all over the world. Kate shares some of the most juicy stories from her early modelling days, which you won’t want to miss. Kate talks about the 2 different worlds and lives she was living - there was the model Kate and the yogi Kate, and she describes the full circle moment, later in her career when she was hired by an activewear brand as a yoga teacher and her two worlds integrated in the most beautiful way. Kate also opens up about the ways she has experienced ageism in her career and how ageism really is the last ‘ism’ that needs to be kicked out of the room! We couldn’t agree more. It was so lovely speaking to Kate. She is graceful, grounded and full of insight and we were so grateful to have this conversation with her in the studio. We hope you love it too.

Recruiting Future is a podcast that helps Talent Acquisition teams drive measurable impact by developing their strategic capability in Foresight, Influence, Talent, and Technology. This episode is about Talent. While we're seeing a growing awareness of ageism, the reality is that it is regularly ignored as an inclusion factor. The impact of this is staggering. AARP estimates that ageism costs the US economy $850 billion in lost GDP annually, and research shows that intergenerational teams consistently outperform age-segregated ones in terms of productivity and innovation. Yet, unlike other forms of discrimination, age bias is openly accepted in hiring via things like age-coded job descriptions and ATS systems that filter by graduation dates. So what will it take for organizations to recognize that age discrimination isn't just morally wrong - it's actively destroying their competitive advantage? My guest this week is Maureen Clough, host of the 'It Gets Late Early' podcast and advocate against ageism on a mission to expose this universal form of discrimination. In our conversation, she reveals practical strategies for both employers and job seekers to combat age bias while building truly inclusive workplaces that work for everyone. In the interview, we discuss: Is ageism getting worse? The $850 billion impact on GDP How ageism is baked into some recruiting processes Why proving age discrimination in the US is so difficult. What should TA do to combat ageism? The power of intergenerational teams and mentorship AI's impact on entry-level jobs and Gen Z's involuntary disconnection from the workplace Strategies for older job seekers What should the future look like?

In this episode of the Glowing Older podcast, host Nancy Griffin interviews Ashton Applewhite, author of 'This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism.' They discuss Ashton's journey into understanding ageism, the current state of awareness, the importance of policy, and the intersectionality of ageism with other social issues. Ashton introduces her initiative, YODA, aimed at fostering intergenerational connections to combat ageism. About AshtonAn internationally recognized expert on ageism, Ashton Applewhite is the author of This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism and a co-founder of the Old School Hub. She speaks widely at venues that have included the United Nations and the TED mainstage, and is at the forefront of the emerging movement to raise awareness of ageism and make age a criterion for diversity. In 2022 the United Nations named Ashton one of the Healthy Aging 50: fifty leaders transforming the world to be a better place to grow older.Key TakeawaysOldSchool.info is an anti-ageism clearinghouse—a central repository of tools and resources for the emerging movement against ageism.Ageism is a pervasive issue that affects all aspects of life. We are all biased, but we can control our attitudes about aging. The first step in any social change is awareness, because most bias is unconscious and we can't challenge something when we don't even know exists. Building intergenerational connections is vital for combating ageism. The YODA initiative (Youngers and Olders Dismantling Ageism) aims to connect younger and older generations as a tool to end ageism.Older people resent younger people for having more social and cultural visibility, and young people resent older people for having more political access and moreeconomic clout. Both are true.Fear divides us and people make money off fear. When people are divided, they tend to not come together to change ways of thinking or the ways institutions work.
