As women, we are all too familiar with the metaphorical “glass ceiling” that describes the discriminatory gender stereotypes that prevent us from rising beyond a certain point in our careers.

Yet, you might discover that as you wade through your “glass ceiling” working years, no matter how many breakthroughs you did or did not successfully have, there is one more you may need to start working on as you grow older – The Silver Ceiling. 

 The pressure to maintain a youthful appearance is pervasive.  Women are barraged with messages and expectations that we must do whatever we can to maintain a more youthful image.

As women, we know what is to feel failure because we have constant reminders from the world around us, that it is a problem if women can’t seem to get back to our 35-year-old weight; we are not supposed to let wrinkles happen, and menopause is supposed to be a secret.  We are always made to feel that we’re not enough.

Why is this expected of us? The bigger question is why do we expect it of ourselves?

We need to talk about this.

We need to work together to Shatter Silver Ceilings.

Testimonials

"Every possible life experience and challenge were addressed. Loved your comparisons, advice and beautiful stories. Most of all, you provided solutions that were intelligent, sassy and soothing. It makes the reader feel like they are not alone in the way they feel at this stage of life. Your book takes the fear and unknown out of getting older.

You give your readers a checklist of what to expect in this mysterious unspoken stage of life. You have opened the door and provided the tools for a generation of women to face their aging challenges like a warrior.

Very empowering. It’s a beautiful story. Your choice of music brought tears to my eyes. Wonderful is all I can say."
~Betsy Fleetwood
"Seeing things through your words and experiences, I can identify and touch my own experiences to explore. You tell us how it was and is for you but give us the resources and the gift of your experience to explore our own path.

I love how you have built music into this. I’ve read it for a second time and your book made me reflect, read the research, and earmark sections for further delving.

This book rocked my world!”
~Lee Nash
“I have to say I was very impressed after reading your book. At first I thought I wouldn’t be able to relate, being a 35-year-old male. I also wondered how a stranger would gain or be interested in your book.

I was delightfully surprised. I found it engaging the entire time. I loved learning about your past and found your tips for life informative and interesting.

It’s one thing to give advice but it’s a totally different thing to give great advice like you did. Adding music suggestions to the book was a great touch. It also kept the book light and fun.

Great work! I think it’s going to help a lot of people. Can’t wait for the world to read.
~Rob Grandy
