In this episode of The Helen & Mt Podcast, we sit down with the brilliant Ashton Applewhite, activist, speaker, and author of This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism. Ashton is on a mission to challenge the way we think, speak, and feel about aging, and this conversation is nothing short of transformative.
We dive into everything from Jane Fonda’s unapologetic take on aging to how the words we use shape our perceptions of growing older. Ashton shares eye-opening insights on why we need to change the outdated narratives around aging and how to add 7 years to your life.
This episode is for anyone ready to shift their mindset, challenge stereotypes, and step into a future where aging is seen as something to celebrate, not fear.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
