We Need a New Dynamic Word for Women Over 50! I know this because I’m one. The existing words suck.   'Woman of a certain age ?' 'Past my prime?' Who the hell says so?   I’m ready for my next act and I’ll never be out of next acts!   Did you know there are 999 adjectives on Google to describe an older woman and they’re all rotten. Words like old bag, granny, biddy, and that line I remember hearing a young idiot guy say behind my back once- “she’s got a few miles on her.’ I shoulda kicked his puny ass right then. Lol .   Point is...we seriously need a new upbeat word to describe all the dynamic women making their individual ways through the latter phases of life reinventing, taking chances, having new adventures, and savoring their time invested in ‘life’. We especially need to let the younger women coming up behind us know, it’s never over as long as you say so.   Lesley Jane Seymour former Editor-in Chief of More Magazine and current Founder of Covey Club, a National and international group of women interested in personal and business growth, was just quoted in a story about women and ageism.   She joined me today on my radio show to talk about that piece in The Hill titled “2023 is shaping up to be the Year of the 50+ Woman.” 60 year old Oscar winner Michelle Yeohs acceptance comment was loud. “Ladies, do not let anyone ever tell you you are past your prime”.   Ok damnit we won’t!   Most wise women know the problem is our society that values youth and beauty. That and obnoxious men who don’t have mirrors ( sorry to the respectful guys) . I'm talking about the guys who are quick to joke about older women being past their sexual prime. (Sidebar: One peek through the blinds at a woman over 50 having a hot romance night would cure them of that thought but hey that’s another story. )   Men who age are celebrated with cool words like ‘silver fox ‘ and ‘dignified older gentleman ‘.   There are no positive words for women who age. We need a new word!   Women collectively need to put our heads together. How ‘bout WNDY? (Woman Not Done Yet!)    Enjoy Lesley Jane Seymour and I gettin' real about all the fabulous 'Women Not Done Yet' on this podcast of our live interview on my radio show.    And check out Lesley's Covey Club  - you might just want to join.   ABOUT MY RADIO SHOW    THE DEBBIE NIGRO SHOW 11-12 noon EST WGCH Radio1490 or hit Listen LIVE at WGCH.com Show Interview Podcasts Posted After Here on DebbieNigro.com   No Politics - Always Relevant...Always Hopeful...and Always A Little Humor...In Spite Of It All!
