Hello, I’m Skylar. I’m a writer, coach, and pro-aging advocate. I provide sanctuary and support for women in midlife and help them feel better about the aging process.
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 depressed 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.
Already a writer and coach for helping women find their courage through creativity, I shifted the focus of my work to helping women embrace aging. I can now say I'm more confident at 49 than I ever was in my 20s. It's my mission to help other women feel the same.
My work is about offering sanctuary and support for women in midlife to help them connect to their truths, and have the courage to be authentic in their own way, in their own lives.
