Ageism distorts how we view aging and harms us at every stage of life. My guest today, Ashton Applewhite, author of <a href="https://amzn.to/49dRJQh" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism</a>, reveals where these stereotypes come from and how they seep into our minds. She explains powerful ways we can identify and challenge ageism in ourselves, our communities, and society. Ashton shares eye-opening facts that counteract myths about decline, along with steps to build a more age-inclusive world. If getting older fills you with dread, this conversation will give you a radically hopeful perspective on aging as a time of continued growth and joy—if we can erase the cultural biases clouding our vision.You can find Ashton at: <a href="https://thischairrocks.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Website</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thischairrocks/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/ashton_applewhite_let_s_end_ageism" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TED Talk</a> | <a href="https://www.goodlifeproject.com/podcast/dismantling-ageism-and-rethinking-aging-with-ashton-applewhite" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Episode Transcript</a>If you LOVED this episode you’ll also love the conversations we had with <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/good-life-project/id647826736?i=1000631487264" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Karen Waldrond</a> about the amazing parts of getting older.Check out our offerings & partners:&nbsp;<ul><li>My New Book <a href="https://sparketype.com/book/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sparked</a></li><li>My New Podcast <a href="https://pod.link/1610198312" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">SPARKED.</a></li><li><a href="https://www.goodlifeproject.com/sponsors/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Visit Our Sponsor Page For Great Resources & Discount Codes</a></li></ul><hr> Hosted on Acast.
