Morgana - The Myth about Women and Aging

Money Goddess Bali Temple Prayer 2014Growing 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(Because I guarantee there are other people–women and men–who will benefit from questioning those same, outdated beliefs.)

  Seeing Only Red in a Sea of Blue   In my talks, I often play this game with the audience. I ask them to look around the room and count how many red shirts there are. After half-a-minute, I tell them to close their eyes. I ask them, “Are you ready with your answer?” They all reply with a resounding yes. Then I ask them, “Okay. How many blue shirts did you see?” They burst out laughing. And they try to guess. But no one gets the right answer. Why? Because they weren’t focused on the blue shirts but on the red. The point of this little exercise is to show them that every reality, every situation, every circumstance always has many sides. But we only see one side! Always.   You’re Not a Grasshopper   Let me tell you one of my all-time favorite stories in the Bible. The Israelites who escaped Egypt (think “Ten Commandments” with Charlton Heston) were now at the edge of the Promised Land. Not knowing what it was like, they sent 12 spies to scout the land i...

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - My boyfriend’s messaging strange women

Question: Do you have any idea why a man would start instant messaging strange woman after being in a five year relationship. Said he was “stupid” and wasn’t physical with anybody. I guess you can say I have trust issues. Answers: Ouch! I am so sorry. Do I have any idea why? Here is what I have learned, first off I am really sorry because that really hurts. If you have trust issues especially, that would hurt and sting even more. So first something about trust and then something about men. Trust: When we trust, it’s not that we trust someone to be perfect. That sets us up for failure because no one is perfect and you can’t control anybody. That is insanity if we try to control another and put all of our power – making sure they be a certain way to so that we are safe. Instead, find that safety and trust inside you. That safety being that capacity to discern and know that come what may, you’ve got your own back – you can take care of yourself. It takes a lot of pressure off of other...

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - To MILF or not to MILF this Mothers Day

I don’t know if you have those to-do piles that just sit there, you WANT to get to them, you MEAN to get to them, and you OUGHT to get to them… while this video was in one of those piles. It took less than 10 minutes to do. Why did I put it off? Well if you’re like me, we only procrastinate with things we either don’t really want to do, or doing them will make us have to face something we’re not ready to face, internally or externally. We’re literally choosing not to face it and calling it procrastination. So I guess I didn’t want to face/own being a MILF. Really owning my badass queen Harley boots, pole dancing, MILF essence. I don’t even know what I’ve really made it all mean… just that I’m WAY more potent than I realize and my erotic creature is WAY overdue coming out to play, to create adventures, to embrace life and to shine!! So you know I call my women’s membership Redefining Sexuality , because I sure don’t care for the definition of sex or sexy… it’s void of honor, care and ...
