Language of Love with Dr. Laura Berman

Confessions of a Midlife Muse with Dr. Amanda Hanson


Listen Later

A lot of people, especially women, still freak out about a few gray hairs or a new wrinkle. So, why not flip the script?


In this episode of The Language of Love Conversation, I sit down with the "Midlife Muse," clinical psychologist, speaker, and author Dr. Amanda Hanson, to dive into the tricky subject of aging—especially for women. Society pushes us to stay forever youthful, but Amanda’s here to remind us that aging can be a beautiful spiritual journey filled with wisdom. Why should our looks stay frozen in time while everything else changes?


Together, Amanda and I encourage women to stop chasing unrealistic beauty standards and embrace their own unique beauty. It’s time to age on our own terms, with more self-love, a little humor, and a community of women who lift each other up!


Here is a sneak peek of what we talk about: 

  • Unrealistic expectations regarding women's appearances as they age
  • The impact of societal pressures on self-image and self-worth
  • What’s behind the normalization of cosmetic procedures among younger women
  • The manipulative marketing tactics of the beauty industry and their implications
  • The importance of self-love, self-respect, and confidence in aging
  • The influence of family dynamics and childhood experiences on perceptions of beauty
  • Strategies for cultivating self-awareness and fortitude  in the face of media consumption
  • The disparity in how aging affects women compared to men in various industries

  • Check out Amanda’s work on her website! Also, visit my website for more resources such as books, courses, and products aimed to help you learn to love and be loved better.
