EP 93 Aging by Design, Not Default with David Stewart

Your greatest limitation as you age might not be your body… but what you believe is possible.In this conversation, I sit down with David Stewart, founder of AGEIST and the visionary behind the Super Age movement, to explore what it really means to age by design, not default.We talk about how internalized ageism quietly shapes our lives: the risks we don’t take, the things we tell ourselves we “can’t” do, and how, over time, we may be lowering the bar on what we believe is possible.David shares a powerful perspective: our biggest limitation isn’t age, it’s our “poverty of imagination.”And that shows up in the everyday stories we tell ourselves:“I can’t learn that.”“That’s not for me.”“I’m too old for that.”But what if none of that is actually true?This conversation is an invitation to get curious… to challenge those beliefs… and to start expanding what you think is possible, one small action at a time.We also explore:✨ How to recognize and interrupt internalized ageist thinking✨ Why curiosity and exploration matter more than ever✨ The role of strength, health, and self-advocacy as we age✨ How technology and AI can support growth at any age✨ Why small wins help rewire what you believe you’re capable ofYou are stronger, braver, and more capable than you think.And maybe… it’s time to raise the bar again.Tap here to visit Ageist and tap here to learn more about the Super Age Games.If you found inspiration from this conversation, please rate, review and share this episode.I’d love to hear your thoughts, so be sure to hop on over to Don’t Be Caged By Your Age on LinkedIn or Instagram.

Here are two products I use and genuinely recommend:🚶‍♀️ Favorite Walking Pad – I use it almost every day while watching my favorite shows. It's quiet, easy to store, and makes getting more steps simple and enjoyable.🥤 Favorite Protein Powder – Getting enough protein becomes even more important as we age. This is my go-to because it's easy to digest, delivers 25g of protein per serving, and supports healthy muscles and bones.Waving from Boston – cheers!Ande ♥CONNECT with me online - I'd love to learn how you're shattering ageism!https://www.linkedin.com/in/andelyons/ https://www.instagram.com/dontbecagedbyyourageSPONSORSHIPIf you resonate with the show’s mission of shattering ageism and age-related expectations so folks can thrive after 65, please reach out to me to learn more about making an impact throug...
