When I’m on stage delivering The Power of 5 to a room full of people, I say this clearly. The issue is not age. It is assumptions and outdated stereotypes we place on each other.  I’m booking for Spring keynotes and working sessions now if you're needing someone to speak to this. BarbaraBrooks.com

Invest in women and win. A first of its kind Joanna Strober of @Midi Health hit unicorn status announcing a $100M round of funding. AND it's a menopause company folks. Thank you to the investors who knew they had an amazing company to believe in so much they put their money where their mouth is.

What are you wearing today? Seems many over 50 are in the closet hiding what's a bona fide privilege. AGE.

Many of women I talk are 40+ and single and as Sarah put it, "Being single is not your identity." Powerful words and we talk more about it and mental health as she shares tips to get through the holidays if you are in need of a little pick me up.

CareerCon Colorado is coming. If you are job searching, career pivoting, returning after a break, or finally ready to make a bold move, this is your space. This event is for the seasoned professional finding it difficult to land a new job.
Tickets are $59 to 12/15 at SecondActWomen.com/CareerCon

If you have ever job searched, you know this man. Andrew Hudson, of the Andrew Hudson Jobs List. He's joining me for a real convo about what is actually happening in today’s job market and why so many people over 40 feel stuck.

Watch live at 9am MT at https://www.youtube.com/@BarbaraBrooks.

The holidays come with a lot of noise and if you're a solo-ager, things are intensified. I'm talking to therapist Sarah Senst on my show to unpack loneliness, pressure, boundaries, and more. It's Solo for the Holidays; The Mental Load Is Real at 9am MT Thursday at youtube.com/@BarbaraBrooks.

This is good.

Gen X women CAN have it ALL! Having “it all” is about defining who you are and what you want, then going after it with your whole heart. Gen X Women can have it all!

Booming Gen X Millennial women aren’t out here “having it all.” We’re out here choosing what matters and ditching the rest and certainly not chasing someone else’s checklist, we’re building businesses and new careers that fit who we are right now.

I'm a caregiver. We're on LIVE at 9 am MT today talking all things caregiving on The House of Middlescence show with me and my special houseguests, Sara Scheuneman of AARP Colorado and Nadine Roberts Cornish, caregiving expert.

The next guest at Cocktails and Conversations by SecondActWomen is all about as she and her husband boast some of Denver's hottest eateries. It's “Behind the Menu: Building Brands and Buzz-Worthy Restaurants”, with Jacqueline Bonanno.  

Reserve your spot today at secondactwomen.com

We have lots in store for you this fall and holiday season.

Last month, we hosted many of you at our first She's Got Drive Money Summit and next up this month is Cocktails & Conversations with the fabulous restaurateur, @jacquelinebonanno

It was such a wonderful event and I was honored to speak.

Because we all need a chuckle...

Brilliant. Sharing. And looking at taking a course.

Aging out loud and proud is liberating!

The older I get, the less I care what people think—and that is freedom.

Let’s rewrite the story on aging. It’s not about fading—it’s about rising.⁠

Wow! This was on point.

YouTube video by Kelly Boesch Ai Art A Story About Aging - AI Video

For my part, I want to help create a world in which "I get to be myself" ...and at the same time SEEN...and experiencing "firsts.."

These goals don't have to be mutually exclusive, or impossible to experience in old age.

Amazing!

I want to say I started listening to you about 2 months ago after leaving another and can appreciate your take on all things unscripted (and the like). I also very much appreciate how you stay out of the fray with other podcasters and pop culture CCs. Thank you! You're a good listen!

Okay, I just tried to find that ad and think it may be made up... we can hope.

Huh?!

Thank you, however, stating what we know doesn't help. It angers. A better post would be starting with the fact and then adding what's being done - the solution.

But we do appreciate you. You are doing good things.

What's hard is you two having a discussion, but we're lost as to what is about... Too bad there's not a thread we can follow here on BS because each response is showing up separately... We want in on it. 😆

This... this is just so disturbing 😞

Yep. Winner for the night.

This.

Wow! This is plain old scary. I was born in France to a military family. Will i receive a letter?

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months.

I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

Wow!
