Ageism -- Fact or Fiction?
Episode 3: Ageism... Fact or Fiction?
Aging is a unique topic that is not at all well understood, universally. It isn’t lost youth, but rather it's a new phase of life filled with new territories to be conquered. The beauty is that with more experience and a clearer mind, you know more about what is important to you.
In fact, some older people have done some pretty kewl things that has changed the lives of millions. They were only able to achieve those things because they never viewed aging as closed doors. Aging shouldn’t be about dysfunction and loss of control, but rather, more about exploring the opportunities that this stage of life offers.
In this third episode, we’ll discuss ... AGEISM!

Aging and Celebrating
Aging is a unique topic that is not as well understood as it should be. It isn’t lost youth, it's a new phase filled with new territories to be conquered. The beauty of aging is that you have more experience and a clearer mind about what is important to you.
In fact, some people have done great things that changed the lives of millions in their later years. They were only able to achieve those things because they never viewed aging as closed doors.
Aging shouldn’t be about dysfunction and loss of control, it should be about exploring the opportunities that this stage of life offers.
In this first episode, we’ll discuss the seven current generations, their preferences, and their characteristics. We’ll also look at the four stages of maturities and discuss what each of those stages involves. Additionally, we’ll look at why comfort zones are restrictive and can impede our ability to grow as well as get new experiences.
Join me and listen to the first episode of Aged Celebrations!, to lay the grounds for an enjoyable, wise, active, and fruitful later life.
In This Episode, You Will Learn:
The seven generational categories (01:30)
Factors that determine the experience of aging (06:53)
Why one should be involved with a community post-retirement (12:14)
The four stages of maturity (14:00)
The challenges that come with settling into our comfort zones (17:49)
