But then at the end of one long day, I had to ask myself, “Where is my self-care?” I mean, it’s […]

“You seem a bit grumpy”, says my hubs. “YOU seem a bit grumpy!!!” says the midlife monster. (Um, that would be me.) Most of my life, I have dealt with anxiety and depression. But when I passed 50, it definitely became a bigger issue. Between menopause, life changes, and health issues that often appear in […]

You might be asking yourself what style has to do with confidence, especially at this stage in our lives. So many women over 50 give up on style, makeup, and clothes. They feel that maybe there is no point anymore. That how they look doesn’t matter. That style is for younger women. Or maybe it […]

The one thing all women are guaranteed is suffering. You are not guaranteed love, financial success, to look a certain way, to have a certain metabolism, to be funny, to be smart, your health, your happiness, children, family, friends, or community… But suffering? From the day you are born, this is guaranteed. Some of us […]

I wrote a letter to my younger self. It was during an exercise that I use to help women over 50+ (including me!) see how far they have come, how much they have learned, and to help clarify where they want to go from here. But it was powerful. It was eye-opening. And it helped […]

I wake in the middle of the night with a feeling of absolute dread. The world is on fire. At no time in recent history have we had the level of instability in the world as we do now. Every day, our sense of security is assaulted by events that we would never have dreamed […]

I fell into a deep depression. That’s how my 50s started out. Learning how to feel confident over 50 wasn’t something that came easily to me. I didn’t even realize at the time that aging had a lot to do with how I was feeling. Or at least, what I had been taught about aging. […]

If you are thinking that sundresses are just for the 20-somethings, think again. It’s kind of funny, but I never wore them until my 40’s. I was a shorts and leggings kind of girl. Not really sure why, I guess because I was an active mom and always had to be ready to get down […]

I used to wonder why so many women seemed to lose their self-confidence when they passed 50. And then, I became a woman over 50. There is no shortage of social messaging that tells us that once you pass 50, you aren’t attractive, sexy, smart, or relevant anymore. You were programmed from a very young […]

The holidays aren’t just for us – our pets deserve to feel the love, too! And let’s be honest, once we hit 50, our pets often become our closest companions, filling our homes with joy and unconditional love. I haven’t had a pet for a long time, but this year, that’s all changed! My pup […]

One of the changes women 50+ notice in their skin first is that it becomes much drier than it was before menopause. I mean, much drier. For most of my life, I had to blot oil off my T-Zone and spent so much money on mattifying products to keep down shine. Now, not so much. […]
