Quotes:

  • I know that there is a community out there for people who are getting a little bit more mature in life, and sometimes we need to know that there are other people out there who are going through something similar.

  • It's being unapologetic for who you are, actually, you know, sharing your views, telling people if you want something or if you don't want something, or you don't want to commit to doing something.

  • We don't want to do something, we don't want to go somewhere, or we take on extra work, especially if you're working like I am, still in the working world.

  • So be unapologetic, don't apologize for who you are, and don't apologize for how you feel, and don't apologize because you don't want to do something.

  • We all have a purpose in life, no matter what age we are.


Takeaways:

  • Embracing authenticity becomes more important as we age.

  • It's empowering to set boundaries and say no without feeling guilty.

  • Our age should never be an excuse for avoiding what we truly want.

  • Building and supporting a like-minded community enhances our sense of purpose.

  • Offering advice is most impactful when it’s asked for, not given unsolicited.
