I’m 49/F with graying hair, sensible shoes, am peri-menopausal, with average looks. I just received a promotion, over a bigger team, and more $. This is half bragging and half to give hope. 🙌

You!!! That’s awesome. I’ve been in menopause since my 40s, haven’t worn heels since the 80s and still killing it in my 60s. WE CAN DO THIS.

likeuplifting

Kudos to both of you! Killing it in your 60s is a true achievement because it really gets tough when you are 50+. You are expected to be in a quite senior position by then, but if you aren’t, then you’re looked down at, even if you’re working at the level you feel comfortable. Unfortunately, a person at a certain age is judged by his/her title, not by whether he/she is happy with what he/she is doing.
