Ageism and stereotypes are the most common prejudice, and I'm tired of it!

Ageism, Stereotypes & Why Getting Older Doesn’t Mean Getting Invisible | Getting Older and Growing Bolder

Welcome to Getting Older and Growing Bolder, where we break down stereotypes, laugh at life’s aging curveballs, and build a community of bold, empowered adults navigating midlife and beyond. Today we’re diving deep into age ism and age-related stereotypes—in the workplace, in tech, and in everyday situations that we’ve all experienced (or will eventually!).

From helping a 90-year-old woman in a grocery store parking lot to realizing I couldn’t find my car moments later (been there?), this video is packed with stories and insights about how we’re often judged—not by what we do, but by how old we look while doing it. And honestly, I’m tired of it.

In this video, we talk about:
What ageism looks like in real life—from office culture to tech troubleshooting
Why forgetting where you parked your car isn't just “an old people thing”
The truth about older adults and technology (spoiler: we helped build it)
Workplace bias, festival FOMO, and age-based assumptions
The freedom that comes with not caring what others think anymore
Why dressing for comfort doesn’t mean we’ve given up
And that strange shift when society starts to… not see us anymore

If you're 50 or older (or approaching that milestone), you've likely felt some of this too—whether in your career, social life, or while just trying to get a dang drink at the bar.

This isn’t a pity party. It’s a call to awareness, self-respect, and community.
It’s about sharing real talk and building a tribe where getting older means growing bolder—not invisible.

Who is this video for?
Adults aged 55+ navigating midlife transitions
Seniors facing workplace changes or planning retirement
Anyone curious about what aging really feels like—the hilarious highs and the devastating lows
People tired of age-based stereotypes and ready to live life on their own terms
Viewers looking for a supportive, fun, and honest community about aging
