In this episode of Meaning and Moxie After 50, host Leslie Maloney takes on the topic of ageism—with wit, warmth, and a mission to challenge the outdated narratives around getting older. She explores the two faces of ageism: the societal messages that diminish aging and the internalized beliefs we often carry without even realizing it. Through personal anecdotes, relatable examples, and a sprinkle of humor, Leslie reveals how even well-meaning comments like “You don’t look your age” can reinforce negative stereotypes. She encourages listeners to see these biases for what they are—limiting and inaccurate—and to start flipping the script.

The episode dives deeper into how ageism affects confidence, self-worth, and even our opportunities later in life. Leslie highlights research on the real-world impact of internalized ageism and offers thoughtful—and often funny—reflections on how we can all show up more boldly, regardless of our age. With her signature blend of authenticity and encouragement, Leslie invites listeners to embrace aging as a powerful and vibrant chapter, full of meaning, moxie, and unapologetic self-expression.
