This episode examines what it means to be seen and heard and represented accurately. Throughout history, women have been represented as seen by men and in service to the male ego. We explore how we take back the narrative, dispel stereotypes and represent ourselves in all of our diversity, power, creativity, and brilliance while addressing the effect of age, race and gender on visibility.

This episode examines how women over 50 are seen and represented in media and society. Social scientists suggest that as young as age 40, women begin to experience something called the “invisibility syndrome” -- a psychological experience where a person feels their ability, personality, and worth are disregarded due to bias. One underlying theory is that women’s worth has long been defined in service to the male ego and as women age, they no longer serve that ego and become invisible. We discuss this struggle with professor and literary criticism scholar, Dr. Joyce A. Joyce.

This episode continues the discussion about healthy relationships and the skills we need to cultivate them. Our patterns are based on learned behavior and what we observed early in life. Sometimes, those patterns get in the way of effective communication, cause friction and derail our relationships. We may have difficulty managing our anger or coping with the anger of others. Once we become aware of our patterns and behaviors, we can learn new and healthier ways of listening, engaging and being in relationship. Dr. Heitler tells us that most relationships can be respectful and fulfilling if the parties are willing to do the work.
