We know that aging is a privilege, but there is still so much negativity wrapped up with aging — particularly for women who are still thriving in their careers. There’s perhaps no greater blow than to be made to feel we’re “past our prime” just when we finally hit a point in life where we have more clarity and more to offer the world than ever.
