Hello, I'm Skylar. I'm a writer, a coach, and a pro-aging advocate. I create sanctuary and support for women in midlife, guiding them to embrace their wisdom, challenge anti-aging narratives, and honor their continued becoming.
After reaching my mid-40s, I found myself feeling despondent about aging. I was struggling with the way I looked, and fearful that my best years were behind me. Then I realized that unless I wanted to spend the next half of my life feeling troubled about getting older, I needed to turn the experience around.
I started to get curious about what was really fueling my fear of aging. I began educating myself on what an anti-aging culture is designed to do, and how it impacts our self-esteem. Once I'd begun to recognize how limiting and damaging the vast majority of societal expectations are, especially relating to women and aging, I was able to disentangle myself from them and enjoy a freedom I'd never before experienced. I can now say I'm more confident in my 50s than I ever was in my 20s.
It's also true that aging has its challenges. We have a whole world out there, ready and poised to judge our bodies and our choices. It's frustrating, and exhausting, and we deserve better.
At the core of my work are two things: truth + courage. Everything I do stems from those spaces.
I create personalized meditations and ceremonies for midlife women and I have hundreds of thousands of plays on Insight Timer. I’m focused on helping women embrace aging and step into their power.
As a free subscriber you'll usually receive around 3-4 articles per month. Paid subscribers ($5/month) also receive bonus content, including full access to my personal documentary diary, A Woman in the World: The Year of 50, and early access to any offers I launch, including Customized Ceremonies and Elevations by Skylar Liberty Rose™.
At a time when there's more pressure than ever for midlife women to juggle all the things, tend to all the people, and not look a day over 30 while doing any of it, I truly believe in the necessity for a thoughtful pro-age community to offer sanctuary and support. Please do engage with (and certainly share) my posts if you feel called to do so. I greatly appreciate every interaction.
Whether you're ready to embrace aging, seeking personalized support, or looking to honor a significant moment on your midlife journey, welcome - I'm thrilled you're here!
Warmly,
Skylar
