Without Losing Your Cool with Shantelle Bisson

080. Are You Committing Ageism Against Yourself? w/ Cristina Carpio

Shantelle Bisson

While a relatively new term, ageism is a method of discrimination based on age - typically toward older people, though it can also be directed toward younger people as well. It's a way of enforcing harmful stereotypes - too old to be effective, interesting, too young to have sufficient knowledge or understanding. In this episode, Shantelle and Cristina discuss how ageism can be internalised and used to hinder yourself, without you necessarily even being aware of it. It's a quiet whisper telling you not to wear that, it's too late to try, do or be that. They get to the bottom of where they think it comes from and how to fight it within yourself, and the beauty that can come with successfully removing it from your thoughts.
