We refuse to play by rules written by an industry that sees dollar signs in our self-doubt. We're breaking up with the lie that our worth diminishes with each birthday candle, and we're here for the rebellion. In today's episode we're flipping the script on society's ridiculous beauty standards.
Meet Andrea Claire, makeup artist and licensed hairstylist with 35+ years in the beauty industry. She's our beauty industry insider turned rebel, boldly declaring what we've all been thinking: the beauty "rules" for women over 40 are complete bullshit.
Through her bold podcast "The F*ck You 50s," Andrea's dismantling the beauty myths that have kept us small, challenging society's bullshit beauty standards, and empowering women to age unapologetically.
In This Episode
Whether you're rocking your gray hair, white-knuckling your youth, or somewhere in between, this conversation will help you redefine what it means to age powerfully and beautifully - on YOUR terms.

Thus the birth of her podcast The FxCK YOU 50s!
