EP 161: Unpacking Ageism: Why Words Matter with Ashton Applewhite

Join us for a special Thanksgiving Eve episode as we 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 much 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 stereotypes, embracing wisdom, and cultivating gratitude for every stage of life. It's a feast of ideas you won't want to miss!"
