You do want to look good, but part of you feels guilty saying it out loud. You’ve told yourself it shouldn’t matter… that it’s not important… that people will think you’re vain. But deep down, you know it does matter. And here’s the truth: Wanting to look good is not self-obsession...it’s self-respect. It’s not about chasing youth. It’s about aligning your outer image with the powerhouse woman you already are on the inside. In this episode, I dismantle the shame around appearance for women in midlife and reframe beauty as a tool of confidence, visibility, and leadership.  In this episode:Why it’s not shallow to care how you lookReal-life proof that polish = power (Oprah, Beyoncé, Jobs)The internal lies we’ve been conditioned to believeWhy wanting to look good doesn’t mean you don’t love yourselfHow appearance affects opportunity—and what to do about itA new, empowered lens for midlife beauty and visibility Ready to feel confident about how you look on camera?
