What is Invisible Woman Syndrome?
Invisible woman syndrome. Have you heard of it? It's an actual phenomena, but only because women have bought into the idea that we become invisible as we age, that we lose our allure, our feminine mystique. We aren't as beautiful anymore, that we lose our appeal, and therefore we're overlooked. We don't matter. We're insignificant out in the public, out in the world.
How can I feel more confident after 50?
And I'm just here to tell you that is total bullshit. I am 52 and I am more confident, more powerful, more magnetic and sexier than I've ever been my entire life. So today I'm going to share with you my truths, what I hold to be true that has me turning heads when I walk into any room and how you can do it too. Hi, it's Hillary.

Now that I'm in my 50s, I feel like I'm standing on the top of a hill above tree line where the clouds have parted and I can finally see clearly. And what I know to be true is this. Women do not have to feel or become invisible as we age. That old adage about being over the hill is so 1950s. We are not in our prime yet. in our 20s and 30s. In fact, we're only just babies in those decades of life.
Why is self-perception important for confidence?
We're trying to figure it all out and we're feeling pressure and working so hard to do it all and do it well. But at 52, for me, all of that is gone. It's fallen away like armor that I no longer need. I is the real raw naked me that was underneath, like leaving my turtle shell behind. I no longer need to hide or be anything other than who I am. And again, I've honestly never felt more powerful, sexier, or more confident. And at 50, I really believe we are only just getting started. So here are my truths. Again, what I hold to be true that has me turning heads when I walk into any room. I want to make it very clear though, this is not about turning heads because we need the attention. We need the validation.
What does it mean to own your worth?
We're talking about not losing our impact, our power, our significance, our beauty, our meaning as we age. This is about not being invisible as we age, but maintaining the ability to have an impact. Okay, so first, turning heads is not about what other people think of you. It's about what you think of you.
How can I make my presence known?
When you walk into any room, if you're worried about or wondering about what everyone is thinking, that is a problem. You can't control what other people think and you'll never know anyway. So just focus on what you think. What you think is all that matters because people take their cues from you. If you feel insecure or or self-conscious, or nervous, or anxious, they will feel that oozing from you. If you feel invisible, like no one will notice you, they won't. But if you walk in there like you own the room, like I'm here now, the party can get started, that kind of mindset, that is what they will experience coming off of you. Because you're not concerned with what other people are thinking, you can just know that you're going to turn heads, but then act like no one's looking at you. You're just free to sing or strut or dance or skip, even if it's just in your own mind.
What are the final thoughts on confidence at any age?
You can just go about your business, mind your own business, and do whatever you're meant to do in that room, unconcerned with anyone else but yourself, but know that you are noticed. If you do have a fleeting thought about what they are thinking, just assume that they are thinking, wow, look at her. You are turning heads in the best possible way. Next, one of the best parts of getting older, for me personally at least, is that I am more comfortable with myself than I've ever been. At 52, I know who I am and I fully accept myself, the flaws, the quirks, and all. I know my worth and my value, which comes from within. It's inside of me, not from external sources. It's not coming from my achievements or
