This episode addresses the experience of older adults, particularly elderly women over 50, who often face age discrimination, leading to feelings of invisibility and workplace disrespect. We explore how these forms of discrimination impact their professional and social lives. It's time to acknowledge and challenge the biases that contribute to the marginalization of aging individuals.
