Episode notes

Dahlia is joined by Jacynth Bassett founder and CEO of 'Ageism Is Never In Style'.

Jacynth explains that there is a link between our approach to ageing and our stress levels and shares the work she is doing to advocate for the abolition of ageism in the fashion industry and more widely across the workplace.

Dahlia and Jacynth discuss the impact of ageism on society today (both being judged for being too young and too old) and Jacynth shares her purpose behind her work and examples of ageism she has experienced over time.

The conversation includes the influence Hollywood has on our approach to ageing, why we should look at our life in stages rather than ages and Jacynth's view on style!
