As you get older, there is more space that's created where you don't feel the need to constantly be ambitious.There is a reason that nature keeps us alive past our childbearing years - what is it? When women start to share their story, what we see is we are never as alone as we think we are- and it ceases to become my story or your story, but just THE story of womankind.When we act upon our own kindness - which is like the little black dress of emotion - it goes with everything - we really empower ourselves. That's what empowerment is …take the attention off yourself for a moment - and you'll get it back tenfold.Join the third  of our 6-part free Webinar series called The Midlife Rediscovery Blueprint  on Friday, June 10th at noon EST, where I will be talking about the Importance of Visioning Your Future.
