Why Women Over 50 Are More Powerful Than Ever

My kids used to scrunch up their face in disbelief when I’d tell them I loved my 40s. Now they’ve gotten used to me saying, “Just wait, things really start to get good in your 40s.”

They’ve heard it so much that my daughter recently passed that wisdom on to a friend in her 40s.

Her friend’s response?

"Well, yeah, she says that because now she’s in her 50s, and her 40s are behind her."

Oh, honey. No.

That is some tired, old, conditioned way of thinking.

I don’t sit around pining for my 40s like a washed-up high school quarterback reliving his glory days. I’m not flipping through old photos whispering, "Those were the best years of my life." Because in all honesty, as powerful as my 40s were, I wouldn’t describe them as my best years.

AND I’m still in the best years of my life.

Your 40s Are the Fire, But Your 50s Are the Full Freaking Inferno

Your 40s are an awakening. They’re when you start to see through the BS, the conditioning, the expectations, the ways you’ve contorted yourself to fit into the box that society created for you.

If you doubt the power of our 40s, check out this post I wrote, Why Your 40s Are The Most Powerful Decade of Your Life.

The 40s are powerful. They’re necessary. And they can shake your entire life up.

But your 50s?

Your 50s are when you take all that wisdom, all that self-reclamation, and you run with it.

Your 50s are the decade when you stop over-explaining, stop over-apologizing, and stop making yourself small. And, if you’re like me, you sleep like a baby at night even knowing you’re the villain in someone else’s story.

Your 50s are when you truly own your life.

The Myth That Women Fear Aging is a Lie

Somewhere along the way, the world decided that women should be afraid of getting older.

That we should fight it, mourn the passing years, and shrink ourselves so no one notices the years piling up.

What a load of absolute BS.

I am not afraid of getting older.

I am not sitting around missing my youth.

I am not clinging to the woman I was in my 40s. (I definitely honor her because she got me to where I am today.)

What’s Different in Your 50s? EVERYTHING.

• In my 40s, I was waking up. In my 50s, I am fully fucking awake. Woke even. ;)

• In my 40s, I was testing the waters. In my 50s, I dive in, headfirst, no permission needed.

• In my 40s, I was breaking unhealthy patterns. In my 50s, I refuse to let myself ever fall back into them.

I don’t hesitate anymore. I don’t wait for the “right time.” I don’t waste energy worrying, “how is what I say going to land?”

Because I am comfortable in my skin. I am fulfilled and satisfied in myself, my choices, my life.

Your 50s Are Where the Real Fun Begins

You know what’s sexy? A woman who is done giving a f*ck about things that don’t matter.

And that’s what your 50s give you—the absolute freedom to:
✅ Drop the dead weight (people, relationships, obligations).
✅ Choose yourself first, without apology.
✅ Say no. Zero guilt.
✅ Say yes to the things that light you the f*ck up.

Your 50s are not some sad sequel to your “best years.”

They are the f*cking main event.

There’s something deeply liberating about crossing into this decade.

I no longer ask for permission.
I’m no longer afraid to take up space.

I no longer water myself down to fit into someone else’s idea of who I should be.

Because I’ve earned this version of me. And I refuse to waste a single second of it.

Are You Ready to Make This Your Best Chapter Yet? No matter what stage you’re in?

Here’s what no one tells you: Your 40s, 50s, and beyond? This is when you have the most power.

• You know yourself better than ever.

• You’ve survived some serious shit.

• You care way less about what people think. Zero f*cks given.

• You’re done wasting time on things (or people) that drain you.

• You finally realize you are worthy of joy, of pleasure, of a life that sets your soul on fire.

And if you’re reading this, nodding along, feeling that little fire in your belly? That’s your sign. It’s time to stop settling.

I work with women over 40 who are ready to stop playing small and start living a life turned all the way up. Women who are tired of feeling stuck and want real, lasting change, that feels good and real and true. Women who are ready to step into their confidence, say a big, bold ‘fuck yes’ to themselves, and design a life that curls their freaking toes.

So, are you ready?

If you’re in your 40s and worried about what’s next, hear me loud and clear:

Your 50s will be what you allow them to be. What you create them to be.

And your 60s I’ve heard can be just as lit! But here’s the key. You have to believe it’s possible.

So stop wasting time fearing each passing decade. Stop believing the bullshit that midlife is some slow, sad decline.

Build your foundation for your best life NOW. Cut the crap. Speak your truth. Claim your desires. Stop putting up with bullsh*t. LOVE your freaking life!

Because when you step into your next chapter, ready to own it, you’ll never look back wishing you were anywhere else.

I’m not longing for my 40s.

I’m f*cking thriving in my 50s.

And trust me, you can too.

If this lit a fire in you, good. Let’s take that fire and turn it into action. Let’s see what possible for you in your next chapter.
