"I Look Too Old, I Look Too Young" - Try This! - PODCAST EPISODE #221
In this segment of the "Try This!" podcast, host Natalie Fisher recounts a personal anecdote about her ex‑partner who judged a woman solely by her apparent age, labeling her as "old" based on looks. Fisher contrasts this superficial judgment with her own perspective, emphasizing that she values the woman's ideas, contributions, and assistance regardless of age. She describes her internal impulse to defend the woman’s capabilities and achievements, ultimately choosing to simply state that age is irrelevant because the woman is helping her. The story serves as a broader illustration of how some people, like her ex, rely on age‑based stereotypes, while others can adopt a more merit‑focused view, highlighting the importance of looking beyond superficial age cues in personal and professional interactions.
