Episode The Lies Women Were Told About Aging (And Why So Many Of Us Believe Them) | Mid Week Tease
There comes a point where many women stop fearing wrinkles and start fearing what they've been taught wrinkles mean.In this week's Mid Week Tease, Adelle unpacks the stories women inherit about aging, from the belief that our worth has an expiry date to the pressure of ticking invisible life milestones before it's "too late." Drawing on psychology, sociology and personal reflection, this episode explores why so many women experience birthdays with anxiety instead of celebration, and what becomes possible when we begin questioning the narratives we've been handed. In this episode:
• Why women are taught to tie their worth to youth • The psychology behind self-objectification • The myth that your best years are behind you • Why there is no deadline for becoming who you are • The unexpected freedom many women discover as they grow older • How fear of aging may actually be fear of losing social approval • Why protecting your peace often comes with age
