From a 40-year career in media to becoming a pro aging advocate, model, and Instagram influencer at 61, our guest, Diane Britt-Smith believes that collectively we can flip the negative ageism narrative toward positivity.

✨ “We are still vibrant, vivacious, and full of relevant contributions to a modern society!”

I especially love Diane’s pro advice: don’t be afraid to be the oldest person in the room!

Stay tuned for another delicious conversation to help you thrive after 65!

Key Takeaways:

- Representation Matters: From media to advertising, Diane advocates for more representation of older individuals, promoting body positivity, and erasing the negative ageism narrative.

- Embrace Your Age: Reject anti-aging messages and instead, celebrate the natural changes that come with aging. Diane's vibrant outlook on the pro-aging silver sister community is so inspiring!

- Mental and Physical Well-being: Engage in activities that bring you joy and seek therapy if needed.

- Inclusivity and Understanding: Let's break stereotypes and encourage inclusivity across all age groups. It’s about finding your unique community and supporting each other to thrive.

Diane's journey reminds us to celebrate our age, pursue our passions relentlessly, and find joy in the simple yet essential act of connection.
