Update: 2022-08-15
Description
On these week's episode, we discuss the messaging of 1980s fashion magazines that still inform many of our midlife beliefs. These include:
- It's most important to be skinny
- You also need great hair and good skin
- The world is scary for women
- You need to change to meet the beauty standard
- Career success is linked to attractiveness
- Men have fragile egos and will cheat if threatened
- Bitchy women succeed at work
- Other women are competition for work and men
Learn how to finally shed these toxic stories and write a new more powerful story in midlife. If you grew up with these magazines scattered all over your bedroom, you will not want to miss this episode.
