175. Is Aging Gracefully Gracelessly Ageist?

Sep 8, 2023

Is the term “Aging Gracefully” gracelessly ageist? Melissa and Terri discuss the term and question why do supposedly “pro-age” accounts and influencers use a term that seems to be based in submissive, passive and powerless language.

We prefer to use a term that previous guest, Holly Boxenhorn suggests: “Aging Powerfully”.

We’re going to be recapping The Golden Bachelor on our soon to be released Patreon channel and we’d love you to join in on the discussion- more details coming up!
