What Does a Woman Over 50 Look Like?

Aging in Place

I recently signed up for TikTok with the sole intent to market my books and “Possibility Aging” products. My topic is AGING, and I’m still not sure how I got introduced to the meme: What does a woman over 50 look like?, that was going viral.

I must admit my expectations were low for the type of content this would generate. Yes, TikTok is highly focused on dancing-lip syncing people from Russian babushkas to celebrities like Kevin Bacon (which got tired for me after 2 weeks), and titillating impulse buyers—but…this meme was refreshingly not that.

There were literally hundreds of women over 50, 60, 70, and above, posting meaningful content with inspiring messaging. The emphasis was not on “anti-aging” for the vast majority (a few Botox and plastic surgery entrees, but not many), rather aging well within their age.

One video caught my attention because it was so real, so authentic, I watched it 4 times, before deciding to reach out to the woman. Her name is Michelle Brown Matteson, a retired Nurse and NLP Practitioner Sharing How to Sizzle Your Silver Era!

Michelle and I hit it off immediately over a phone conversation. I didn’t know it at the time, but she too was a nurse, her last job before retiring was working in hospice care. She was just so spot on, I was not surprised to find out she had a nursing career. I was so impressed with Michell’s take on aging, which is much like my own, I asked her if I could share her offerings (including FREE ones) with my LinkedIn family—she was delighted.

It is so encouraging to find like-minded people in areas of personal and professional pursuits. And even more so if they are honest and have integrity…Michelle certainly does; her career history proves that.

My fear was this is a place where meaningful content goes to die…

TikTok who knew?

Poem: When Judgment Gets A Bad Rap | Sixty And…

Poor Judgment’s been slandered, accused and maligned,As if using good sense were a terrible crime. “Don’t judge!” say some people. “Be spiritual instead!”Yet without a bit of judgment, we’d all bump our heads. We’d wander through life like a cart with no wheel,Or smile at a snake while ignoring how

Years ago, before the internet settled household arguments in seconds, my then-husband and I had an ongoing disagreement about the lyrics to a song. The song was “Drift Away” by Dobie Gray. I insisted the lyric was, “Give me the beat boys and free my soul.” He insisted it was,

Spring 2026 was one for the record books! Yes, it was very dry in April, and very wet and unexpectedly chilly in May. But climate conditions were not the cause for alarm. The issues of concern were my noticeably diminishing stamina and body resilience while completing all the same gardening

The Conversations We Almost Don't Have | Sixty And Me

Yesterday was an eye-opener for me. I learned something new, and at 72, that’s something. I was reminded of the many small opportunities for connection that exist in everyday life, and how easy they are to overlook. When I’m out and about, I try to smile, give people the benefit
