Woman working through her second half of life are the most interesting humans on the planet for so many reasons — here are 10 of them!

1. Life’s complexity increases with her age. She is now multi-dimensional and layered. She has done all the heavy lifting of school, work and children.
2. She has lived more than one story. In fact, she’s lived many stories and all of them more interesting than the last.
3. She’s navigated numerous relationships with various roles, people, lengths and depths.
4. She knows what she means and says it as well.
5. She also knows what it means to carry hurt and loss. She is able to navigate through it all.
6. She’s had multiple titles and identities.
7. Her life is now expanding. But at the same time she’s able to navigate it’s contraction as well.
8. She is fresh! She’s new to this phase of life and it feels like starting all over again. She’s energized!
9. She’s not taking any freaking shit from anyone!
10. She sees the moments (or now has the time to see the moments) finally.

I ask you to help me change the one shortcoming of this phase of life, which is the societal diminishing and invisibility of women over 50. How do we avoid this? We need to tell our stories. Tell them to our kids and to our friends. Write them. Put them on social media. Find a great therapist and let go of all the pain and loss from before 50 so you can blossom in this time after 50. We have profound gifts and sharing them with other women will enhance not only our lives but those of generations to come (and will help the men in our lives!).

To my over 50 friends, I see you. I cherish you. I want to hear and be part of your stories in your over 50 time. Have an amazing day!

XOXO
