Thriving Beyond Ageism: HR Insights for Midlife Women in the Workplace

Sonji Cosby and KJ Brewer Season 1 Episode 27

Is age just a number in today’s workplace, or does it hold women back? In this episode of the Girlie Ladies Podcast, Sonji and KJ sit down with Alexis Bodley, HR Manager at Feutainer, to uncover the truth about age bias, career pivots, and the hidden rules of hiring.

Alexis shares what really matters on your resume, why LinkedIn can make or break your chances, and how women over 40 and 50 can reframe their experience to stand out. From overcoming career gaps to adapting in a tech-driven world, this conversation is packed with practical strategies and insider HR secrets for thriving in midlife careers.

Whether you’re returning to work, chasing a promotion, or proving you still have the drive to compete, this episode will empower you to own your value, rewrite your career story, and rise above ageism.
