Reclaiming Relevance

What does it mean to stay relevant as we age — and who gets to decide?

In this conversation with guest Coralie Hooper, we crack open the cultural conditioning that taught us to “look the part” to earn our place, especially at work.

We reflect on the visual and behavioral rules we learned — especially as Gen Xers — and ask: what happens when we stop trying to fit into someone else's version of relevance?

We touch on:

• The lingering pressure to “present” a certain way
• How our generation was trained to perform success before we truly defined it
• The quiet freedom of aging into authenticity — of choosing to whom we’re relevant
• The evolving link between relevance and self-expression

It’s part nostalgia, part reckoning, and all about reclaiming relevance on our own terms.
