Have you ever felt your power slipping away as you age, wondering if your relevance is fading along with your youth? You're not alone—but you're also not powerless.
In this raw and revealing episode, we tackle the myth that aging means decline and invisibility. After sharing my personal journey through cancer treatments and an unexpected sidewalk tumble (complete with 14 stitches!), we dive deep into how society tries to strip away our power as we age, and more importantly, how we can reclaim it.
For women, the message seems clear: unless you're maintaining Helen Mirren or J-Lo levels of beauty, prepare to become invisible after 50. Men don't escape either, being relegated to "grumpy old man" status for simply having opinions. But what if aging isn't about fading—but about finally finding your authentic voice?
We explore practical ways to reclaim your power: reconnecting with your body without judgment, speaking up without constant apologizing, making room for what truly lights you up, and recognizing that true power in your later years looks different—and possibly more genuine—than it did in youth. As I share from my own experience, "Power now is walking into a room with a face that says I've lived through a few things and I'm not afraid to tell you what I think."
Ready to stop waiting for permission to be fully yourself? This episode offers both compassion and a challenge: do one thing this week that makes you feel powerful. Because remember—power doesn't retire, it just changes shoes.
