Reshma Saujani on the “Midlife Penalty “and Why She Has No Plans to Age Quietly
from A Certain Age · host Katie Fogarty
Stop letting society tell you your best years are behind you. Author, activist, podcaster, and polymath Reshma Saujani (founder of Girls Who Code and Moms First) is turning up the volume as she approaches 50. Reshma calls BS on what she calls the "midlife penalty"—the price we pay in status, health, and earning power as we age. We get into the biggies like: How do you rebel against a culture that wants you invisible? What does the "midlife penalty" cost women over 50? How can we evolve to become "broken open" versus burning out? In a world that calls on women to shrink (and then disappear at a certain age), this convo is a call to keep expanding, beauties!
