In this episode, host Danielle Palli discusses the invisible woman. Unfortunately, we live in a society that often glorifies youthfulness while diminishing older adults. Media messages encourage older women to buy age-defying products and resort to plastic surgery, only to mock women for “trying too hard” to appear young. In a recent study conducted by the Media Diversity and Social Change Initiative, leading men surpass leading women 3:1 in Academy award-winning movies, and women over 40 are absent in those roles. This episode is for the older woman and recognizing her value, beauty, and wisdom.

Reality Testing is the ability to see life objectively vs. how we wish it would be or fear it might be. When we’re able to look at the world objectively and see things as they truly are, in work and in relationships, it enables us to see with accuracy our own strengths and weaknesses; it helps us understand other perspectives that may be different from our own and come from a place of compassion, and it supports our ability to set realistic goals and expectations for ourselves.
