In a world that celebrates shock value, thirst traps, and “do anything for attention” trends, midlife women have a chance to offer something radically different—wisdom, strength, perspective, class.

But too often, we’re encouraged to act younger, dress younger, or chase the same validation younger women are pressured to seek. Today’s conversation explores why it matters that we set the tone…and how our example shapes the culture our daughters and sons will inherit.

I’d love to hear your thoughts. Your experiences help other women feel less alone, as we take action to leave the world a little better.
