You've shared so many thoughts that I've been pondering myself as I think it's hit me that I'm on the other side of the youth spectrum and the internet seems to amplify the voices of the young and hot. I found Madeincosmos blog and perspective refreshing. Do read her stuff if you haven't been already - she talks a lot about how essentially older women/mothers won't be respected in society until they accept themselves.

Thank you for sharing -- I just read the post you linked, then binged her entire newsletter haha. So good! That's exactly what I'm trying to convey: we need to accept *and embrace* ourselves as women, regardless of age, for society to appreciate what we have to offer. I love her focus on providing wisdom that childless men can't provide. We need more of that!
