The holidays come with a lot of noise and if you're a solo-ager, things are intensified. I'm talking to therapist Sarah Senst on my show to unpack loneliness, pressure, boundaries, and more. It's Solo for the Holidays; The Mental Load Is Real at 9am MT Thursday at youtube.com/@BarbaraBrooks.

Booming Gen X Millennial women aren’t out here “having it all.” We’re out here choosing what matters and ditching the rest and certainly not chasing someone else’s checklist, we’re building businesses and new careers that fit who we are right now.

Gen X women CAN have it ALL!
Having “it all” is about defining who you are and what you want, then going after it with your whole heart. Gen X Women can have it all!

Aging out loud and proud is liberating!

The older I get, the less I care what people think—and that is freedom.

Let’s rewrite the story on aging. It’s not about fading—it’s about rising.⁠

For my part, I want to help create a world in which "I get to be myself" ...and at the same time SEEN...and experiencing "firsts.."

These goals don't have to be mutually exclusive, or impossible to experience in old age.

Katie Phang: And now that my time here at MSNBC comes to a close, I am taking that fight back to a familiar place… I hope you'll follow along with me as I continue to meet you where you are at places like Substack and YouTube with fellow truth tellers like MeidasTouch…

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months.

I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

Dear President Vlodomir Zelenskyy: On behalf of the majority of American people who admire you and did not vote for this administration, I offer my sincerest apologies for the barbaric, undiplomatic, and frankly, stupid way you were treated by President Trump and Vice President Vance. Slava Ukraini!

@bsky.app @jay.bsky.team We're still waiting for a response to the ageist meme that also didn't make sense... I do love the platform but as a pro-age speaker here today i can come to intergenerational training. It's a vibe and so is anti-ageism.

Tomorrow begins The Century Summit hosted by Stanford on the "Longevity Economy." It's a billion-dollar industry and with 1 in 3 Americans over 50 today, companies are silly not to take 'us' seriously. ... like my company, SecondActWomen.com.

Women. Remind yourselves we've always been the architects of resilience.

No matter the challenges, we rise, rebuild, reinvent. It's in our operating system. No matter how we feel, we've got this--and each other.

The women 40+ in radio and TV were phenomenal last night at Secondactwomen.com Cocktails and Conversations event.

We talked about age, #aging, and #ageism - plus life at 40+ and everyone was enthralled with their realness.
