Her candidness and vulnerability are at once inspiring, poignant, and empowering, striking a deep chord with women everywhere and igniting a much-needed conversation about the strength and potential of midlife. For Brooke, however, the passage of time has brought with it a newfound sense of liberation. At fifty-nine, she feels more at ease in her own skin, more empowered and confident than she did decades ago in those iconic Calvin Kleins. In this wonderful book, she is challenging conventional narratives about women and aging. Brooke asserts that this is a time when women are reclaiming their agency and strength, no longer fading into the background. These are the years when women have the power to determine their own paths, to craft their own stories. With remarkable transparency, she offers a vibrant and hopeful portrayal of being a woman in the prime of life, while simultaneously dismantling the myths that have long clouded such perceptions. Through her personal stories, infused with humor and humility, and supported by research and insight, she confronts the systemic forces that perpetuate age-related discrimination.
