Good morning, 10,000 women. And not one of us is disappearing.
We hit a milestone this week, and it’s not just a number. It’s proof that women over 50 are done being ignored. You showed up, subscribed, shared, and built this with us.
So what are we doing with all that power? We’re making moves. Not the loud, flashy kind. The quiet ones that change everything—how we dress, how we show up, how we spend, and how we age.
This week: orca wisdom, financial sabotage, cave art awakenings, and yes—pubic hair. Let’s go.

CULTURE
Sharp commentary on the world around us.
She packed all the wrong clothes for Europe. Grays and blacks—her usual "comfort" uniform that screams "American tourist who's given up." Then she watched 70-year-old Hungarian women glide through Budapest in striking silhouettes and thoughtful accessories, like they owned the damn city.
That's when it hit: Have we been sold a lie about "comfortable" dressing being feminist? Maybe our yoga pants aren't rebellion. Maybe they're surrender? European women don't dress well despite feminism. They dress well because of it.
Four new dresses later, she was walking differently, and thinking differently, too.
→ What if dressing with intention isn’t vanity, but power?

BRAIN AND BODY
Wellness, emotional fitness, and what nourishes us now.
Evolution doesn't waste energy. If we're still here long past fertility, there's a reason.
Among all species on Earth, only a handful have females who live decades beyond reproduction. Humans are one. The others? Whales. Forget hot flashes. Let’s talk long-term leadership.
Orca grandmothers have a role in their pod that might just change how you see your own post-menopausal power. What whales know—and we've forgotten—about aging, influence, and why evolution still needs us.
→ See why menopause might be your prime.

READER SPOTLIGHT
What you said stopped us cold.
✒️ Here’s what one fabulous reader had to say this week:
“When so much of what you see online is about celebrity or youth culture, it is lovely to read about wisdom, about humility, about forgiveness. With humor and sincerity, you shared with us a slice of the fruit of your labors as a human. Thank you for allowing us to stow away on your cruise." —Linda's comment on All Aboard the Mothership

YOUR WALLET
Money, power, and getting what you're worth.
Michelle spent $100K on her daughter’s dream wedding—right out of her retirement fund. She’s not alone.

NEWSWORTHY
🎬 Liam and Pamela Plot Twist The Naked Gun reboot probably won’t win any Oscars. But the plot twist we didn’t see coming? Liam Neeson, 72, and Pamela Anderson, 57, might be Hollywood’s newest couple—and they’re not denying it. Forget rom-com scripts. We’re here for late-life chemistry in real time. → This reboot comes with real-life sparks.
🩸 Can Your Period History Predict Your Lifespan? A massive study says yes. Women with longer reproductive spans live longer. And pharma companies are now exploring how to slow ovarian aging to extend healthspan. Yes, you read that right. → What your cycle says about your future.
💼 The Return-to-Office Gender Trap Companies keep talking “collaboration.” Women are doing the math. New data shows women still dominate remote work, and we’re paying for it. One mom turned down a $100K job because childcare would wipe her out. Meanwhile, 86 percent of CEOs plan to reward people who show up in person. Flexibility now comes with a new kind of glass ceiling. → What’s really behind the return-to-office push?

LAUGH LINES
Humor with bite—because if we're not laughing, what are we even doing?

LIVING OUT LOUD
Real stories of rewiring, relationships, and this messy, beautiful life.
She doesn’t do woo. No gods, no goddesses. Just logic—until she stood in a French cave facing 17,000-year-old drawings and cracked wide open. What ancient art awakened in a woman who thought she’d seen it all.
→ What happens when time stares back.

OUR PICK
This week's recommendation worth your time.
📺 Why We Love Sally on Disney+ Finally—a documentary that gets her right.
Sally doesn’t just rehash “first American woman in space.” It pulls back the curtain on the brilliant, intensely private scientist who navigated NASA’s boys’ club while keeping her biggest secret. Narrated by her partner of 27 years, this is a love story, a legacy, and a quiet act of rebellion.
→ Watch the doc that shows who Sally Ride really was.
