Morgana - The Myth about Women and Aging

Growing up in the United States, and–even worse–growing up in Los Angeles, in the shadow of Hollywood, I learned a great many stereotypes about women and aging–our desireability, our loveability, our happiness. 

I’m happy to discover that those stereotypes were complete BS.

About aging as a woman… it’s nothing like I was led to expect.

I’m actually about a sneeze away from turning 49. I’m losing hearing in my right ear. My distance and reading vision are a mess. I’m way beyond fatter than I’ve ever been in my life.

And I feel an emotional confidence and happiness and freedom beyond anything I experienced when I was younger.

I see the same thing with my female friends and clients: life gets better as we get older.

Dating was better in my 40s than it ever was in my teens, 20’s or 30’s.

I make far better relationship and business choices now.

I’m more comfortable with my imperfection.

As young women we’re all about pleasing–parents, teachers, lovers, everybody.

As we get older, and have less time left, we take less crap and focus on what matters.

By the way… I posted something like this on Facebook last week. So far I’ve received almost 500 responses–hundreds of women sharing that life gets even better in our 50’s, 60’s and 70’s.

What a wonderful thing to look forward to!

As we close in on shedding the calendar year 2015, why not take a look at some of the lessons you picked up during your lifetime that no longer ring true?

Share those lessons BELOW.

(Because I guarantee there are other people–women and men–who will benefit from questioning those same, outdated beliefs.)
