Paula Marie Usrey, a former professor of speech communications and professional retirement coach, is the author of Refusing to be Invisible: Life Planning Empowerment Strategies for Women 50+. In this interview, she discusses:

* How it feels to be “erased” - to be treated not as yourself but as an “old person”

* How women 50+ can communicate strength, verbally and nonverbally

* Why ageism and sexism seem to be so firmly imbedded in American culture

* The importance of having a clear purpose

* Why you can anticipate joyful, positive experiences ahead as an older woman.
