If you're ready to ditch outdated ideas about what sexy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 Forget the outdated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Speaker:shake off those outdated ideas? 1st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.
