Do you ever feel invisible as you get older? Overlooked at the shop counter, dismissed in meetings, or unseen by the people closest to you? It does happen, so you’re not just imagining it.

In this podcast, I share what happened to me in a shop that made me realise how deep this feeling actually goes, and the three layers of invisibility I see in women over 60 again and again: social, sexual, and family.

I also share what finally helped: not fighting to be noticed, and not pretending it doesn't hurt, but a real, honest shift that let me become visible to myself, even on the days nobody else notices me at all.

At the end, I walk you through a simple practice called The Mirror Moment, something you can do today, in under a minute, whenever that invisible feeling is there for you.

If this resonates, I'd love to know: where do you feel most invisible right now? Work, family, somewhere else? Tell me in the comments.

Managing online business failure while dealing with grief is overwhelming. I was the strong one. Strong, capable, independent, that was the story I told myself for decades.
Then my back gave out, my brother died, and my six-year business still wasn't working. I lost the story I'd built my whole identity on, and I had to ask a question I'd been avoiding: who am I when I can't be that anymore?

In this podcast, I walk you through what actually happens when the identity you've defended for years falls apart, and a simple five-step practice you can do with me, right now, to start finding out what's underneath it.

This is for you if you're a woman over 60 navigating ageing, identity change, retirement, health changes, or a loss that's made you question who you actually are.
