Hi Glow-Getters!

I’m excited to share with all of you my feature article and cover for The Pro-Age Woman! As a 59-year-old content creator and influencer, this type of recognition is not only about my achievement – it's a validation of a journey navigated, challenges overcome, and the strides I've made in embracing my age and identity. Being featured isn't just about me; it's about representing a diverse community of women who are not defined by ageist stereotypes. I’m honored to be the February cover girl!

I'm incredibly grateful for this opportunity that came up when the Founder Meri Frischman asked me in January. We soon figured out we both grew up on Long Island and had quite a bit in common. Then, I found out that her partner was Barbara Warren, another powerful woman I know from back in the day…we met over 20 years ago on the tennis court in New York City. You may know her as the Founder of the amazing apparel brand, White + Warren! The world just keeps getting smaller and smaller.

The Pro-Age Woman is an absolutely beautiful online publication dedicated to celebrating and empowering women of all ages, with a focus on aging positively. Its origin was derived from one simple idea; to use fashion as a way to express “the freedom to be” at every stage of life. I love the editorial style and layout—reminds me of old-school fashion magazines like VOGUE and Harper’s Bazaar! The articles are well-written and the rich content delivers an overall message of self-confidence, vitality, and self-acceptance. It covers a wide range of topics including fashion, health and wellness, beauty, relationships, career advice, personal development, and more.

I hope you find that this article inspires you to live your best authentic life to the fullest—it’s filled with so many tips and takeaways. Keep scrolling to click on the full article and to see some of my #GlowGirlCertified product recos for aging well. Enjoy!
