Aging is not the Problem. The Way, We See It Is.

from The Fishbowl With Jade · host Author Jade Mills

When did aging become something we apologize for? In a world that constantly reminds us of who we used to be, we rarely stop to honor who we are becoming. From social media comparisons to cultural expectations, aging has been reframed as something to fight… instead of something to respect.In this episode of The Fishbowl with Jade, we’re diving deep into why growing older is often seen as losing value, how different cultures view aging, and the quiet ways we all participate in this mindset.Jade gets real about her own experiences with being seen differently, the pressure behind perception, and the shift that many feel but don’t always say out loud.Through the lens of her character Celina from Plenty of Flesh, this conversation explores the fear of becoming invisible, the search for validation, and what it truly means to evolve.If aging is the price of living, why are we treating it like a penalty?Maybe aging isn’t the problem…Maybe it’s the way we’ve been taught to see it.
