Today’s episode comes straight from Gina’s heart as she shares her years of beauty experience and the ways she has seen women struggle with beauty and aging. When we as mature women take back the definition of beauty and aging, embrace all the fullness and power of the lives we’ve lived and the ways that we’ve changed, we create a more empowered, authentic, beautiful version of ourselves- unhindered by stereotypes and perceptions. Grab a cuppa something wonderful, find a cozy spot and bring your journal ! We are going to break down the acronym BEAUTY so we can really begin to define our own beauty and age gracefully!

SHOW NOTES:
B: Beauty is personal- be YOUR best self
E: Expand your mindset – it’s an inner game
A: Authenticity – be who YOU are and how YOU are meant to be
U: Unapologetic – don’t apologize for how you’ve lived, the experiences you’ve had or the decisions you’ve made
T: Thankfulness – gratitude is key to beauty and aging with grace, every single day focus on the things that you are thankful for
Y: YOU!!!! You are beautiful and you wear your years, joys, sorrows, wisdom, and curiosity in a way on you can and it’s absolutley BEAUTIFUL!
“Today you are you, that is truer than true.
There is no one alive who is youer than you.”
