31. Becoming Irrelevant and Invisible to Society (and being okay with it)

Today’s episode will start with a big time giggle on the expense of Anne. She’s sharing what can happen when you aren’t aware of current lingo and then she and Becky discuss the deep questions those embarrassing moments can bring up. The reflection, the wondering of things like, “Who is paying attention to me? Am I okay with being irrelevant?”


You’ll hear today:

  1. The wrestling that comes with once being someone who strives, to now simply not caring or having that ambition anymore

  2. The lack of information for mothers in this stage of parenting 

  3. Encouragement to re-invent yourself when the kids leave

  4. The different value our culture puts on women in different stages

  5. How our world worships youthfulness (and sometimes even in the church)

  6. The good desire in your 50’s and beyond to be valuable and how it looks different now

  7. How women our age are more picky about where they want to be seen (not always on social media)

  8. The difference between a shift in your values vs your value

  9. The freedom that comes when you see there are ways to make impact even when “culturally irrelevant”

  10. The joy of putting energy towards timeless things

  11. How contributions to the world looks different in different seasons of life

  12. The people pleasing you shed as you age that can be mistaken for invisibility 

  13. Why things don’t have to be public to be valuable
