What does it mean to be "too old?" Bonnie Marcus has researched this question considerably and  maintains that we, as women, hold ourselves back with self-sabotaging beliefs that we are too old to be taken seriously, or move to the next professional step.
Bonnie has made it her mission to support women of all ages, but especially those who are 50+ as they continue to grow in their professional goals, and fight the gendered ageism that continues to show up time and again in the workplace.
Jess and Jess have a lot of questions for Bonnie about how to battle gendered ageism in their own minds as they continue to grow this podcast and their respective businesses- and in their professional networks.
Only 9% of public companies address ageism as something that exists in their workplace, let alone, the intersectionality of gendered ageism. Bonnie explains why things MUST change- because our lifespans are NOT linear. We change careers over and over at any part of our lives, and the workplace MUST evolve accordingly.
