In this thought-provoking episode of You Still Have Time, hosts Hope and Harold take a closer look at the labels society uses for older adults and ask a simple but important question: Who are you calling elderly?
Drawing on personal experiences, research, and a healthy dose of humor, they explore how terms like elderly, senior citizen, older adult, and even geezer shape the way people see themselves and are perceived by others. The conversation examines age stereotypes, the impact of language on confidence and behavior, and why many people reject labels that suggest frailty or decline.
Hope and Harold also discuss how different cultures view Aging, often associating it with Wisdom, respect, and life experience rather than limitation. Along the way, they challenge listeners to think about how society categorizes people by age and whether those labels help or harm.
Join the discussion as they explore the power of words, the realities of growing older, and why staying active, engaged, and relevant matters at every stage of life.
