Madonna, Paulina, Ashley: Why Women (of a Certain Age) Can’t Win
The Grammy’s really struck a nerve in us. We were traveling for business and missed them and instead of seeing news dropping about the music, the performances, and the winners, my news feed was blowing up with negative, nasty comments about the work Madonna had done.
It stopped us in our tracks and we rearranged all of our podcasts to quickly produce this one. We have to address what is going on here.
Madonna was crucified for the work she had done.
Paulina was destroyed for not having work done and her too skinny ‘wrinkled’ body.
Ashley Judd is being obliterated for her weight gain.
WTF?
Let’s dig in because we are pissed!
We’re having a party and YOU are invited.
Join us on Wednesday, March 8th at 5 pm EST for the launch party in celebration of our annual digital magazine GEN neXt: The Voice of the Modern Gen X Woman.

Why when women step in and destroy other women it takes things to an entirely new height
Who are we to judge other people and what is right for them
Why women can’t win at any age…. No matter what we do we seem to be judged and ranked based on some unknown metric for beauty
How we can start to stop the commonplace ageist commentary that is not unacceptable
Being aware of our own contribution to this discussion and our own unconscious bias
“Aging is a really, really intimate educator on loving yourself. You can’t stop it. It’s going to happen.” —Andie MacDowell
