Listen Later

 💜 Episode Description

At 58, Laureen found herself in the middle of an unexpected transformation — an empty nest, menopause, and an allergic reaction that ended decades of hair dye. What began as loss became liberation.

In this intimate conversation, she shares how she let go of old conditioning, reimagined what aging can look like, and reclaimed her authentic self. Her story is a beautiful reminder that midlife isn’t a deadline, it’s an awakening.

 ✨ Show Notes

This week on Reinvention Rebels, I’m celebrating the power of quiet transformation with Laureen, a content creator, model, and storyteller redefining what aging looks and feels like.

At 58, Laureen experienced a trifecta of change — her hair, home, and hormones — that sparked a deeper awakening. What started with an allergic reaction to hair dye became a journey of radical self-acceptance, self-trust, and creativity.

Through her Instagram platform @glowupsilver, Laureen inspires thousands of women to see aging not as something to fear, but as a new chapter of self-expression, curiosity, and joy.

In this heartfelt conversation, we explore what it means to unlearn the conditioning about who midlife women “should” be, listen to the whispers of intuition, and come home to the truth of who we already are.

In This Episode, You’ll Hear:

  • How a “trifecta of change” — hair, home, and hormones — sparked Laureen’s midlife reinvention
  • The quiet courage it took to let her natural silver shine
  • How creativity, curiosity, and community became her lifelines
  • What it means to reimagine aging and rewrite the rules for yourself
  • Why midlife is not a crisis but an invitation to awaken

🌿 A Soulful Reminder
