Episode 161: Unpacking Ageism: Why Words Matter with Ashton Applewhite
Nov 22, 2023
How Language Shapes Our Perception of Aging
Join us for a special Thanksgiving Eve episode as I sit down with Ashton Applewhite, renowned expert on ageism and author of This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism.
In this insightful conversation, Ashton delves into the importance of the language we use when discussing aging. Unpacking her quote, "It's so important to learn about aging and to realize how many ageist thoughts we have all internalized," we explore the profound impact of ageist narratives on our health, self-esteem, and life's journey.
As we prepare to give thanks, let's reflect on breaking down ageist stereotypes and cultivating gratitude for every stage of life.
It's a feast of ideas you won't want to miss!
