Born a control freak
People who have known me all my life will say: “who is she to be talking about this?”.Why now? Because, as women, we are entering and living one of the most crucial stages of change in our life. If we do not learn to let go of control, we will not appreciate this stage.
Too late to start getting strong? Not sure why you would want to?
Building strength is an incredibly important goal to focus on, no matter what your age. And the good news is: it’s never too late.
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?
Into presence
Unfold
The silent witness
Of breath
Take time
To nourish
Your cells
With
Stillness
“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.
