Why Women Over 50 Must Shine Their Brightest Now

Hey! I’m Marianne Clyde, CEO of Isn’t She Amazing, an international constellation of women over 50 shining our brightest.

I have spent 35 years as an award winning therapist, coach, author and speaker, teaching people how to live their best lives.

I have traveled around the globe teaching trauma healing in developing countries to child soldiers, victims of war, poverty, women rescued from sexual trafficking, rape, starvation and disease.

The majority of my most powerful and exciting work has taken place after my 50^th birthday: running a marathon, climbing Mt. Fuji, jumping out of airplanes and trekking to Mt. Everest Base Camp.

I’ve “retired” twice, but the call to rally women in my age group to live their brightest life ever is so very strong and so much fun, that maybe I’ll never really retire.

We should be named a National (International) Treasure. We have time now, more experience, more wisdom, more wealth, better resources and amazing connections. But because of conventional wisdom that says we should slow down, quiet down and back down, we tend to think the time to fulfill our dreams has passed.

But the truth is, our time is just beginning.

Just like a Supernova, a star that begins to lose energy, deplete its fuel and feels the pull of gravity, (sounds like the star is in menopause!) it’s time for us to explode into our brightest light yet.

The world needs what we have to offer. The world needs us to live a life of purpose and joy. When we have the chutzpa to do that, we automatically inspire others to do the same.

Our world looks like a divided, hate-filled mess sometimes, but there’s so much love and beauty if we would only dig deeper, love harder, work at whatever brings us joy.

We each have a dream in our hearts that needs to be realized, so that the generations that come after see and know their value as well. THIS is what will raise the energy on the planet.

This will bridge the divide that we have begun to see as “normal” and yet that is so far from the truth.

“Normal” is joy, wisdom, abundance, creativity and we were all born with it.

We need to find it and express it as we spend the rest of our lives shining like the supernovas that we are born to be. Join me.
