When you stop asking the world for permission to be yourself, you stop playing small.

How can I possibly tell my now 22 year old daughter? How can I possibly tell her to love herself and then turn and vilify myself? How could I possibly lead women to more authenticity? When I had felt like I had to shape shift to be worthy? I had a lot of women challenge me and say, oh well, you're only letting your hair go gray because you've been married for a long time. He adores you. Let me be super clear. If we got divorced tomorrow, I would double down on my aging and show it even more. Because any man from across the room who's attracted to a woman who is not willing to hide and pretend she's 10 years younger than she is is the kind of man I want to talk to.
