Listen "Reclaiming Relevance"
Episode Synopsis
What does it mean to stay relevant as we age — and who gets to decide? In this conversation with guest Coralie Hooper, we crack open the cultural conditioning that taught us to “look the part” to earn our place, especially at work.We reflect on the visual and behavioral rules we learned — especially as Gen Xers — and ask: what happens when we stop trying to fit into someone else's version of relevance?We touch on:The lingering pressure to “present” a certain wayHow our generation was trained to perform success before we truly defined itThe quiet freedom of aging into authenticity — of choosing to whom we’re relevantThe evolving link between relevance and self-expressionIt’s part nostalgia, part reckoning, and all about reclaiming relevance on our own terms.Leave your thoughts via Fan Mail
