{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"becoming bOLDER","slug":"becomingbOLDER","podcastDescription":"becoming bOLDER is a meaningful conversation meant to share lived journeys. \n\nAt WCBR, we believe older adults or elders have talents and wisdom to share.\n\nWe also believe that we are all more than our past – acknowledging present interests, the future, and possible selves is important because aging brings new opportunities and capacities for growth, contribution, and self-expression.\n\nThis podcast illustrates that older adults are accomplished and are involved in and a vital part of their community.\n\nThe path to elderhood will look and feel different for everyone. It may be living life with intention, gerotranscendence, acting as a guide for those who come behind, handing down knowledge, and/or nurturing well-being among communities. Our guests demonstrate that there is no right or wrong way to age.\n\nWe invite you to listen in. Together, we are becoming bOLDER.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/16656050/WCBR_Podcast_Logo_7er3ca.png","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/16656050/WCBR_Podcast_Logo_7er3ca_1200x628.jpg?s=5d61b98b4d621d5920bb6aa727a099c2&e=png","podcastUrl":"https://becomingbOLDER.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/becomingbOLDER/feed.xml","theme":"elegant","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-bbw5e-fe26b2?from=usersite","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":15,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-05:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-5,"text":"(GMT-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/New_York"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":35,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"Westminster-Canterbury of the Blue Ridge","enableEngagementStats":true,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-bbw5e-fe26b2-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":28800,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/becoming-bolder/id1698727581","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-bbw5e-fe26b2?from=usersite","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Spotify","link":"https://open.spotify.com/show/7A5V68HhAhlIV5DeKM4YCR","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/442be290-562b-4149-9e39-63e3666e5220","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null},{"name":"iHeartRadio","link":"https://iheart.com/podcast/123031165","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/iHeartRadio.png","title":null},{"name":"PlayerFM","link":"https://player.fm/series/3510575","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/PlayerFM.png","title":null},{"name":"Podchaser","link":"https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/becoming-bolder-5471878","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/Podchaser.webp","title":null},{"name":"BoomPlay","link":"https://www.boomplaymusic.com/podcasts/77234","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/BoomPlay.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Roboto"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"Tahoma"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#8fc31f"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/6r6qkm/WCBR_Podcast_Logo5dc445bb-d7b4-070d-059d-91139f803c45.png"},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"

Ageism is the stereotyping and discrimination against individuals or groups on the basis of their age. Ageism can take many forms, including prejudicial attitudes, discriminatory practices, or institutional policies and practices that perpetuate stereotypical beliefs about people who are older.

There are behaviors we can demonstrate to act against ageism. Here are a few:

1. Recognize it. How do we treat people differently based on their age?

2. Speak up. If you hear something ageist, consider pointing it out in a productive manner. Rather than make someone defensive or embarrassed, you can politely share with them how what they said/did was ageist and a recommendation of how to do it differently next time.

3. Treat people of all ages with the respect you want. Or even better ask people what they want instead of assuming they want what you want.

4. Be inclusive. Promote intergenerational experiences so that learning and understanding can go in both directions. This helps build relationships and solves ageism against older and younger people.

5. Give yourself a break. We all act in ageist ways or make ageist comments - sometimes meant as a joke, like giving an \"over the hill\" birthday card to someone. Once you know, next time, a different choice can be made.
