Speaker:

If you're ready to ditch outdated ideas about what sexy

Speaker:

means past a certain age, then you're in the right place.

Speaker:

Today, we're redefining sexy after 50 with real talk

Speaker:

and steps that you can use. Forget the outdated

Speaker:

standards. So grab that cup of coffee or your

Speaker:

favorite beverage, and let's dive in.

Speaker:

Alright, girl. Let's get real. When you

Speaker:

hear the word sexy, what pops into your head?

Speaker:

That hourglass figure that society tells us is the

Speaker:

only option? Big boobs, a perfect

Speaker:

butt, and full lips? Here's the truth.

Speaker:

Sexy is so much more than that.

Speaker:

I want you to ponder this for a second.

Speaker:

Does sexy automatically translate to

Speaker:

sexual or sensual? Absolutely

Speaker:

not. Sexy after 50 is about a

Speaker:

whole different kind of power. It's it's confidence

Speaker:

radiating from the inside out, a self assuredness

Speaker:

that whispers, I know who I am, and I'm darn

Speaker:

good at it. When the world whispers

Speaker:

that sexy has an expiration date, we're here to

Speaker:

shout a resounding no. Sexy after

Speaker:

50 isn't about fitting into a mole. It's about

Speaker:

breaking free from it. It's the confidence that radiates

Speaker:

from knowing who you are and owning it.

Speaker:

It's it's the allure of experience,

Speaker:

the magnetism of self assurance.

Speaker:

We're more vibrant and self assured than ever before.

Speaker:

So how do we

Speaker:

shake off those outdated ideas? 1st

Speaker:

off, start talking back to negative

Speaker:

voices in your head. You know the ones. Let's

Speaker:

face it. Many of us have spent

Speaker:

years pouring our hearts out into raising

Speaker:

incredible kids who are now incredible adults.

Speaker:

And while that's a beautiful thing,

Speaker:

sometimes our own desires and our

Speaker:

sense of self can get pushed aside. But here's a

Speaker:

news flash. Sexy isn't just about

Speaker:

lingerie in a drawer. Although, hey.

Speaker:

If that's your thing, then go for it. It's a whole

Speaker:

mood. It's an attitude, a

Speaker:

way of carrying yourself. It's that knowing glint

Speaker:

in your eye. The way you command a room with

Speaker:

your presence. The way you you own

Speaker:

your laugh lines and the the life experiences that are

Speaker:

etched on your face. It's about self

Speaker:

care, not just facials and bubble bath, but taking

Speaker:

care of your physical and your mental well-being.

Speaker:

Because when you feel good, you

Speaker:

project that confidence.

Speaker:

So think about a powerhouse like Michelle

Speaker:

Obama. Her appeal

Speaker:

isn't just in her appearance, but it's in her poise. It's

Speaker:

in her smile and her zest for life. Sexy

Speaker:

is an attitude, a presence. It's in the

Speaker:

way we carry our stories, our our

Speaker:

laughter, and our unique selves with pride.

Speaker:

So, okay. We know sexy is an

Speaker:

attitude, but how do we get there?

Speaker:

Let's unpack this a bit. Step 1, it would

Speaker:

be self talk check ins.

Speaker:

Your inner dialogue shapes your reality.

Speaker:

Notice those little voices in your head?

Speaker:

Well, start showering yourself with the kindness that you'd

Speaker:

offer others. Catch those negative thoughts and flip

Speaker:

the script. Try sticking post it notes on

Speaker:

your mirror. I talked about this, I don't know, a few

Speaker:

episodes ago. I know it might sound cheesy,

Speaker:

but it works as a little reminder of your worth.

Speaker:

Step 2 would be embrace your awesomeness.

Speaker:

Write down 3 to 5 things that you absolutely

Speaker:

love about yourself. Your humor, your kindness,

Speaker:

your your resilience, anything goes.

Speaker:

These are your badges of honor, and reference this

Speaker:

list when you need a pick me up. Step

Speaker:

3 would be body language boost.

Speaker:

Your posture speaks volumes. How you

Speaker:

carry yourself matters. Stand tall, shoulders

Speaker:

back, chin up. Now the other day, I was walking by the

Speaker:

mirror, and I noticed that I was walking slumped over.

Speaker:

Girl, I immediately held my head up, put my

Speaker:

shoulders back. But I think for years,

Speaker:

I didn't walk with my shoulders back and my chest out because I have

Speaker:

so much chest. But, hey, it is what it

Speaker:

is. So practice in front of the mirror. It

Speaker:

might feel goofy at first, but that

Speaker:

power pose, it translates into confidence.

Speaker:

Step 4 is your sexy soundtrack.

Speaker:

Music has the power to transform our mood.

Speaker:

Make a playlist of songs that make you feel invincible and

Speaker:

unstoppable. Blast it while you're getting ready. Strutting your stuff

Speaker:

around the house. That energy is contagious.

Speaker:

One of my power songs is I'm Every Woman by Whitney

Speaker:

Houston. I blast that song around the house, and you can't

Speaker:

tell me nothing. Feeling

Speaker:

sexy inside is the first step.

Speaker:

Now how do we let that shine out?

Speaker:

Expressing your sexy isn't about dressing a certain way or

Speaker:

or acting out of character. It's about those subtle

Speaker:

personal touches that make you feel alive. For example,

Speaker:

find your signature. A bold lip color, a

Speaker:

favorite piece of jewelry, or that perfume that

Speaker:

feels uniquely you, or even a pair of snick

Speaker:

sneakers. Horse sneakers. I mean sneakers.

Speaker:

Today at church, I was commenting about a

Speaker:

young lady who always has on a different

Speaker:

pair of low top Jordans.

Speaker:

They're fun and they're colorful. Well, that's her signature.

Speaker:

Next would be the power of a smile or even the way you laugh.

Speaker:

A genuine smile lights you up from within, so

Speaker:

don't be afraid to flash those pearly whites.

Speaker:

And then own your style. It's about wearing what

Speaker:

makes you feel fabulous. Embrace clothes that

Speaker:

flatter your body. Comfort and confidence

Speaker:

are the ultimate ultimate sexy combo.

Speaker:

So here are 5 ways to

Speaker:

redefine sexy on your terms. One

Speaker:

is to explore your sensuality.

Speaker:

Sexy isn't just about how others see you, it's about

Speaker:

connecting with your own desires. Connect with what

Speaker:

makes you feel vibrant. Whether it's

Speaker:

through touch, through taste,

Speaker:

or setting a serene ambiance. Finding

Speaker:

what's find what stirs your

Speaker:

soul. Try a new massage oil or

Speaker:

rediscover a scent that makes you feel amazing

Speaker:

or set the mood with candles and music.

Speaker:

Next would be invest in you.

Speaker:

Feeling good in your skin is key. Treat yourself to what

Speaker:

makes you feel good. Whether it's that

Speaker:

skin care routine that you keep putting off, a bold new

Speaker:

hairstyle, or comfy yet flattering

Speaker:

loungewear, treat yourself. And

Speaker:

then I'd say, play with fashion. Fashion

Speaker:

is about expressing yourself. Dust off those items

Speaker:

that you love, but you hesitate to wear. Wear what

Speaker:

makes you feel fabulous regardless of trends.

Speaker:

You got a killer pair of boots collecting dust? Wear them.

Speaker:

A dress that you adore, but you think is too young?

Speaker:

Don't rock them. Fashion is

Speaker:

about self expression. There's no age limit on

Speaker:

style. Movement is

Speaker:

magic, so engage in physical

Speaker:

activities that you enjoy like maybe

Speaker:

dancing or yoga or walking. It's

Speaker:

really about feeling strong, alive, and in tune with

Speaker:

your body. Feeling that strength,

Speaker:

it and vitality is pure sexiness.

Speaker:

Then redefine intimacy.

Speaker:

Intimacy evolves. It's about connecting on a deep

Speaker:

level, expressing desires, and exploring

Speaker:

pleasure. Intimacy is about joy.

Speaker:

Don't be afraid to express your wants and your needs.

Speaker:

So here's our listeners note. So I received a note from

Speaker:

Diane in San Diego, and she shared that

Speaker:

after 50, I found a new love for salsa dancing. That

Speaker:

sounds fun. It's not just the movement, it's the freedom

Speaker:

and the joy I feel when I dance. It

Speaker:

reignited a spark in me and reminded me that sex

Speaker:

is a state of mind. Diane, your story

Speaker:

is a testament to finding what lights you up and

Speaker:

embracing it fully. That joy, that spark

Speaker:

is the essence of sexy.

Speaker:

So as we wrap up today, remember, sexy is about

Speaker:

embracing you at

Speaker:

this amazing stage of life. You are

Speaker:

fierce, you are powerful, and you're desirable.

Speaker:

And don't let anyone, not even yourself, tell you

Speaker:

otherwise. It's about living life on your own

Speaker:

terms and finding beauty in the journey. I

Speaker:

wanna thank you for tuning in. If today's conversation

Speaker:

resonated with you, then spread the love, share this episode, and

Speaker:

let's continue to redefine what it

Speaker:

means to be sexy after 50. Until next

Speaker:

time, remember you are undeniably

Speaker:

sexy. Now keep shining, keep

Speaker:

smiling and keep strutting your stuff with

Speaker:

age, style, and a touch of sass.
