This week I had the pleasure of sitting down with author, speaker and activist Ashton Applewhite.

This conversation will change the way you think and view aging. Ashton shares her research on aging and helps us to shift the words we use when we speak about age and confront our own biases around aging.


Her book “This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism" is a must read. It is packed with so much information, humor and you won’t be able to put it down.


Topics:

  • What is ageism

  • Two facts that happen to us when we age.

  • Looking at our fears around aging

  • Broadening our social circle.

  • We are not losing our minds when we age.
