Sin Broncas con la Bronca: Do Women Have an «Expiration Date»?

Silvia del Valle and Erika Garza discuss aging in women and what age means to them.

They talk about various aspects that create social pressure on women.

Both say that aging is a beautiful process.

Silvia del Valle, la Bronca, and Erika Garza talk about age in women and how people often make them feel unseen or not important after a certain age, mainly after 30 or 40.

They speak about how these thoughts come from culture and connect to the idea that women should have kids before a certain age.

Erika Garza tells about her life as a woman and psychologist, saying that women can have kids at different ages, and that people are more open now about women of different ages in TV and daily life.

They chat about the need to stay healthy, looking after our body and mind, and that age shouldn’t stop anyone from being happy in close relationships. Here’s a short breakdown of the main points.

Pressure and Aging in women

The talk starts with how people often have strict ideas of youth and looks for women, making them feel not pretty or unseen as they get older.

This connects to the thought that after a certain age, maybe around 30 or 40, women are seen as less important because of how they look and what they can do.

Time Limit and Having Kids It’s said that one reason for this thought is the idea that women have a «time limit» to have kids after a certain age.

But, Erika Garza says that it’s true women might have kids more easily in their 20s, but they can also have them in their 30s or 40s. She adds that women who have kids after 40 might live longer and be more healthy.

Pressure at Jobs and in TV

They chat about how, at jobs and especially on TV, there’s an idea that older women aren’t right for some work.

The time when someone told Silvia she only had a few more years in her job because of her age is talked about. This shows how being unfair about age can still be a problem.

They also talk about how key it is to like and accept ourselves. Erika Garza and Silvia underline how important it is to be okay with who we are at any age.

They talk about how being confident and liking oneself helps deal with pressures and old age ideas. Erika also says that a confident person won’t be mean to others, and it’s important to know when to say «no» in relationships.

Staying Healthy as We Age

They stress the need to stay healthy, which means eating right, moving our body, and looking after our thoughts.

Erika Garza says that anyone can stay active and well at any age if they look after their body and thoughts right.

Both chat about how views on closeness change as women get older. They say women might like closeness more as they age because they know themselves better.

They also talk about how looks shouldn’t change how someone feels about closeness.

Examples of Women Doing Great After 40 or 50

They give examples of known women, like Maribel Guardia, who have done well in their jobs after 40 or 50.

This shows that doing great isn’t limited by age and that women can reach their dreams at any age.

In short, the talk covers many topics about how people see age in women, pressures, liking ourselves, staying healthy as we age, and the need to question old age ideas.

They also point out examples of women who have shown these ideas wrong.
