There she was, looking into the mirror, a 50-something woman with slightly wrinkled skin, streaks of grey, and a symphony of creaky joints and sighs. The reflection carried a nagging sense that the world had quietly moved on, blending her into the background.
Everywhere she turned, younger, shinier versions of herself seemed to pop up, breezing by her with their boundless energy, as if they’d been freshly unwrapped that morning. It was like watching a parade of high-definition confidence, reminding her that her prime had apparently come and gone.
But deep down, she knew there had to be more. She’d lived too much, learned too much, cried and laughed too hard to let the story end like this. And then, she realized something profound; she decided to embrace her fascination and sage.
What is Sage?
Saging was about stepping boldly into the spotlight of her own life; not just surviving but thriving. It meant embracing the wisdom she’d earned, honoring the scars she’d acquired, and using the lessons she’d learned to navigate life with intention and joy. Saging, she thought, yes, saging, her new mantra. A choice to live boldly, to redefine what this chapter of life could be, and to do it all with sass, grace, and unshakable confidence. Yes, this lady is fascinating and she shall embrace her sage.
What is Fascination?
From this moment on, no longer would she allow to be defined by others’ expectations or the narrow narrative society had handed her. Instead, she would define herself and let her fascination shine.
She began by leaning into her flow, her unique rhythm that connected her mind, body, and spirit. For her, flow meant finding balance between effort and ease, creating space for joy, and aligning her actions with her values. It was about listening to her body, nourishing it with intention, and allowing her intuition to guide her through life’s changes. Flow isn’t about perfection; no, it is more than that, it is about harmony, moving gracefully through each day with purpose and self-compassion. She nurtured her sage by finding the right light, the right nourishment, and just enough loving sass to keep it thriving. She discovered that saging isn’t about defying aging but about embracing it with elegance, humor, and grace. Yes, all this showed her just how fascinating she can be. And, ti was time to share it with others and help other sage their way and ingite their own fascinating light.
She wasn't going to just survive, no, she is stepping into her fascination finesse, reclaiming her confidence, vibrancy, and power. She realized that the second act of her life wasn’t the end; it is a new beginning, a chance to bloom into the lady she was always meant to be. And, then she asked others, are you ready to sage and fascinate?
Are you ready to sage and fascinate?
If your sage is feeling a little wilted, if the world has left you questioning your worth, your vibrancy, or your place on the this earth, you’re in the right place to rekindle it. Together, let’s find your flow, nurture your light, and rediscover your vibrancy. Because this isn’t the time to fade, shrivel, or shrink. No, this is the time to flourish, grow, and claim the life you’ve earned. You have a lot of fascinating saging to do.
Let’s sage boldly, live vibrantly, fascinate brightly and make the second act of life the most fascinating one yet.
Why Should You Sage and Shine Your Fascinating light With Me?
I am unapologetically rooted in Mother Nature, drawing inspiration from her resilience, balance, and cycles of renewal. Let me be completely honest: I am no expert at saging, but I do have a few tricks up my sleeve, honed from years of learning how to align with nature’s rhythms to reclaim health and vibrancy. I’m your fellow 55+ish sager who got tired of feeling invisible, of somehow being hypnotically ushered into society’s narrow role for middle-aged women. You know the one: wrinkling into the corner, fading from existence, locked into a life of aches and pains, dwindled confidence, and a wardrobe that’s given up on oomph and embraced "meh."
Frumpy, lumpy, and unsure of what to do, I decided to rewrite my story. I took back my health for a second time (the first from IBD), faced my fears, did it anyway, and reignited my fascination. Along the way, I learned a lot and now, I want to share it with you.
