Welcome to the Midlife Flyness Podcast, hosted by Kendra Lendsey, where we dive deep into the realities and challenges of navigating midlife and beyond. In each episode, Kendra sheds light on the often-overlooked topic of ageism—those subtle yet pervasive behaviors that shape our perceptions and interactions with older adults.
Kendra bravely tackles common ageist behaviors, encouraging listeners to reflect on their assumptions. From stereotyping and excluding older individuals from social gatherings to overlooking their expertise and contributions, we explore how these actions can impact the vibrancy and dynamism of our communities.
Join Kendra as she discusses:
- The misconceptions surrounding older adults' capabilities and interests.
- The insidious nature of assuming technological incompetence and the importance of valuing lifelong learning.
- The need for inclusive environments that cater to all ages, rejecting the idea that retirement signals withdrawal from participation in society.
- Ways to confront ageism head-on, fostering an atmosphere of respect, recognition, and genuine connection.
Tune in for insightful discussions that challenge stereotypes, inspire change, and celebrate the richness of experience at every age. With Kendra's engaging storytelling and keen insights, the Midlife Flyness Podcast aims to empower listeners to embrace their midlife journey and advocate for a more inclusive world.
Join us each week and discover how to challenge ageism while embracing the flyness that comes with wisdom and experience!
