The Myth of Invisibility After 50

Who told you to disappear? In this episode, I get into the idea of becoming “invisible” as we age—especially after 50. I share a personal story that made me reflect on how I’ve always shown up in the world, and why I’ve never quite fit the mold… and honestly, never wanted to. But is this feeling of invisibility real, or is it something we’ve been conditioned to believe?I challenge the idea that fading into the background is inevitable and talk about how we can reclaim visibility on our own terms—without chasing youth or approval.
