Why it is Important to be Strong, at Any Age
Too late to start getting strong? Not sure why you would want to?

Do You Live in an Ageist City?
Covid has brought the world together yet it has pitted us against each other as well. As an older adult living in San Francisco, California I can attest to living in an age-conscious city. Did you know that ageism is a term from the 1960s: from age + ism?
Be The Warrior You’ve Always Been

Age Discrimination in the Job Market: It Happens
“What is your age?” I have heard this question in many job interviews and from recruiters (not in my current job 😊). It is an illegal question as revealing your age – whatever it is – can lead to discrimination. The European Commission and the Age Discrimination Employment Act (ADEA) in the US protect workers from age discrimination. So, asking for the applicant’s age can lead to a lawsuit, unless the question is to ascertain that the person is over 18. It is clear to me that older workers (over 40, and especially women) are less likely to receive interview offers than younger ones.
