Mariann Aalda: Becoming ‘age-full’: Snapping out of internalized ageism
Episode 373
Tuesday, 24 March, 2026
Mariann Aalda—actor, hypnotherapist, and joyful “pro-aging evangelist”—invites us to rethink what it means to grow older. She interrogates ageism, asking“ Why should youth get all the good press?” And declares, “My vibrancy and vitality are due to my being Age-full, not Youth-full!” Drawing on a 30-year television career and her work in hypnotherapy and neurolinguistic programming (NLP), Mariann explores how language shapes our inner lives—“the words we use become internalized and we behave accordingly.” Today, through stand-up and solo performance, she shares her authentic self with candor and humor, encouraging women to pursue their dreams and “use our time wisely with curiosity, creativity, and joy.”“I’m not an older version of myself—I’m the Newest Model.” - Mariann AaldaConnect with MariannEmail: mariannaalda@aol.comAging Shamelessly https://www.mariannaaldainherprime.com ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSOur Sponsor: Plymouth Place in LaGrange Park, IL. has redefined senior living with options and opportunities to fit individual needs and preferences.
