EP 13 Empowering Women to Thrive in Their Prime

"I think many women in their late forties, fifties, and sixties, come to a time of wanting something else, something more, because they're coming into who they really are."

A lifelong advocate for social change, Sara B. Hart, PhD, is a successful entrepreneur and well-known speaker on motivation, cultural and business performance issues, and on the psychology of success.

She’s also the founder of Prime Spark, a platform that is challenging stereotypes and empowering women to thrive after 55. 

At 79, Sara is passionate about ending gendered ageism through the Second Women’s Movement and has declared ENOUGH to the demeaning and belittling behavior and language often used toward older women.

During our conversation Sara advises taking a deep dive into our internal ageist beliefs and confronting them. Whether it’s being conscious of the language we use about aging or standing against everyday ageist remarks, it’s time we redefine our narratives around aging.

We also chat about Sara’s book The Upside of Downsizing – how to let go of the many items you accumulate over the years (including your children’s toys and artwork, even though they are 40 and have children of their own!), to reach a place where you have just enough.

Sarah recommended several books that provide great insights and guidance for those navigating aging positive:

2. Women Rowing North by Mary Pipher - https://amzn.to/3Vmsxlh 

3. Ageless Aging by Maddy Duckwald - https://amzn.to/4aLQdEZ
