Women encounter Ageism at all ages - not just when we get older. There is also “Youngism” too. Turns out female leaders face age bias at every point in the age spectrum. 

A lot of ageism is also based on “Lookism”: biases based on how we look. 

Join us as we take a deeper look into our own experiences at opposite ends of the age spectrum and how Lookism and Ageism has affected us.

Question to reflect on 💭

Resources To Dive in Deeper:

Obviously Two Minds Different Times is an English podcast and I (Leona) am not talking in my mother tongue. We are therefore challenging the question if we can fully express ourselves while speaking a foreign language? Does this have an impact on how our personality comes across? Are we able to fully express our emotions? Be excited to listen to an interesting thought experiment and learn more about how language and expressing emotions are connected. By the way: Julia will also share about her bi-lingual marriage & how this also impacts raising her kids. She gives very personal insights - so interesting! 🤗

Question To Reflect About 💭

Resources To Dive in Deeper:

The major idea behind Two Minds Different Times is that we (Leona and Julia alias Two Minds) can learn from each other, although we aren’t the same age and therefore were born in different times. Fitting to that we are challenging the question “Is Wisdom Age Dependent?” in the current episode.

Join our discussion and learn more about how we define wisdom and how it is connected to making experiences and seeking & nurturing continuous learning. 

Should we rather call this podcast - Two “Wise” Minds Different Times?  😉 Listen in to find out!

We started this podcast because we love how we each expose the other to different perspectives and thought it would be beautiful to share that! This episode is our Origin Story. 💕 In this episode, we dive into Comfort Zones, fear, and critical thinking. 

Our favourite quotes from the episode: “Fear shows you where your tasks are.” and “The only way out is through.”

We are all humans, aren’t we? And we sometimes do contradictory things, don't we? 😅 For example: Saying Yes when we want to say No. From an outside perspective that does not make sense at all, but it is a typical people pleasing behavior that many of us can relate too. We deprioritize ourselves to make others happy. Join our talk to get some inspiration on the reasons for people pleasing and how important it is to create a space between stimulus and reaction not to say “Yes” too quickly. It is all about the courage to be disliked, isn't it?
