Are you over 50 and starting to feel invisible in your own life or out in the world? This episode is dedicated to breaking that silence and reclaiming your spotlight.

I tackle the reality of gendered ageism and why women over 50 often feel overlooked, not just in public but even in their own families and workplaces. If you’ve ever stood at a counter and watched the world pass you by, you’re not imagining this. Today, I share practical ways to rip off the invisibility cloak and step back into your power with my 3-step toolkit.

I’ll show you how to take up space, stop apologizing for existing, and create conversation starters to make sure you’re seen, heard, and respected.

You’ll also leave with a new perspective: invisibility isn’t just a curse; it can be a superpower that puts you in control of your own story.

What You'll Learn:

• Why “gendered ageism” is real, and how culture creates blind spots for older women
• The invisible habits that keep you in the shadows and how to break them
• My 3-step Invisibility Toolkit for instant confidence and connection
• How changing your body language can signal your presence (even if it feels awkward at first)
• Easy ways to create conversation starters that remove barriers and invite connection
• Why claiming space after 50 is not vanity, but about relevance, respect, and authenticity
