Ageism: Why Generations Clash Over Money, Work, and Worth

Every generation thinks they had it harder, but what if the truth is, the system changed, not the effort?

In this episode, we’re diving into how ageism shapes the way we talk about money, work, and self-worth , and why it’s fueling a quiet clash between generations.

From Boomers who built their lives during times of stability, to Gen Xers caught in the middle, to Millennials and Gen Z juggling debt and rising costs, we’re unpacking what really created the generational wealth divide.

Hi, I’m Dr. Isabella Grace—behavioral neuroscientist, mindset educator, and host of Speaking of This, a podcast that digs deeper than the headlines.
This show was born out of a realization: we’re constantly bombarded with trending stories, viral moments, and loud opinions, but what we’re not getting is clarity. We’re not being encouraged to slow down, reflect, or question what’s really going on beneath the surface of these narratives—and that’s where I come in.
On Speaking of This, I take current headlines and flip them over to explore the psychological truths hiding underneath. With each episode, I break down popular stories—whether from pop culture, health, social issues, or everyday life—and examine the mindset, emotional triggers, and deeper meanings behind them. I pull from my background in psychology and behavioral neuroscience, but this isn’t a lecture. It’s a conversation. A moment to pause, reflect, and connect.
This podcast is for curious minds who want more than clickbait. It’s for people who crave substance, who believe that mental and emotional well-being starts with understanding the world around us and within us. You’ll find honest perspectives, engaging stories, and tools to help you think critically and feel deeply.
Whether you’re here for personal growth, psychological insight, or just a fresh take on the latest buzz—you’re in the right place.
Let’s rethink the headlines. Let’s speak of this.
