Pivot on Purpose with Maryann LoRusso
When former magazine editor, journalist, and writer, Maryann LoRusso, hit a certain age she began to notice that a lot of the work she did in the fashion/style industry left women over 40 out of the conversation. Simultaneously, she noticed how her friends in their 40’s and 50’s were feeling irrelevant.
A light bulb went off that she was uniquely qualified to rewrite the midlife playbook. She embarked on a mission to uplift women in midlife and change the conversation around aging—through the More Beautiful Podcast and newsletter.
Listen to our rich conversation where we touch upon:
The disparity between the newfound energy and excitement we feel as we hit midlife and our responsibilities shift versus the messages we receive from our culture about aging.
The importance of taking small steps to get you started in your pivot so you don’t get overwhelmed, and you’re in action.
How Gen X is the coolest generation because we have one foot planted in the pre-tech era, and also understand the advantages and diversity of opinion that exists now with technology.
Women in their 40s, 50s and 60s are freeing themselves from the male gaze that they are frail, frumpy, and forgotten through effectively using the internet and social media to tell their truth.
Midlife can be our most potent time because we have wisdom, perspective, and power.
We can rewrite our story and drop the false narratives that no longer serve us.
A growth mindset is essential to having a healthy, fruitful second half of life.
