Why We Are Aging Out Loud with Katie Fogarty

This week on the podcast I am joined by Katie Fogarty. Katie is the host of A Certain Age – an age-positive podcast that
helps you live your best evolving midlife and that
celebrates women who are aging out loud. She is also the
creator of the Instagram community AGE OUT LOUD
Midlife.

A former journalist turned career coach, Katie’s day job
helping executives create strong LinkedIn profiles has
taught her that not everyone is up for owning their age.
She created A Certain Age to shift the dated narrative that
aging makes you irrelevant.

A superfan of second-acts and career evolution, Katie has
worked as a TV news writer, for global PR firms, on Capitol
Hill, and as an English teacher in Japan. Her coaching
company, The Reboot Group, has helped 2K+ executives
from Fortune 500 companies grow through better career
Stories.

A New Yorker by birth, Katie now lives on Long Island with
her husband, three kids, and pandemic puppy Lilah.

In this episode we talk about:
the fear of losing marketability in the workforce
Doing the inner work of facing your biases around your age
The myths of ageism when looking for work so you know what to look for
A beautiful story from her podcast of resilience and truly knowing what you need, even in the face of big challenges

No matter if you are stepping back in to the workforce or have no desire to step in at this stage, Katie gives us clarity and really useful tools to Age Out Loud, anywhere we show up.

Please enjoy this lively discussion with me and Katie Fogarty.
