It’s Time to Change the Conversation Because We Are Badass Women
I noticed lately that when I get together with girlfriends we spend a good amount of time whining, complaining, bitching and moaning about the perils of aging. The wrinkles have sneaked up, the weight keeps coming on even though our diets and exercise routines haven’t changed, the eyesight just keeps getting worse, the knees hurt when we climb stairs, our menstrual cycles are all wacky, the gray hairs are taking over, we hit peak tiredness by 8 p.m., and on and on.

A couple of generations ago when women reached a certain age (usually in her 40s) they took a back seat. Resigned to adult responsibilities and not being the center of attention, the beginning of middle age was the beginning of the end.

I’ve worked too hard and too…
