4:01
little too literal of sugar and pinnacle
4:04
it is wonderfully inches budget or I'm
4:10
cradle frame I love that I really love
4:13
that I i think that when we can just
4:16
show up in who we are how we are no
4:20
matter whether it's a wrinkle whether
4:21
it's our little white lie whether it's
4:24
you know whether we wear five-inch heels
4:27
or we wear clothes that we're being told
4:29
by the media that you're not supposed to
4:32
work something out over a certain age I
4:33
mean really what's that all about and
4:35
and I want to bring up Clairol I mean
4:38
claro still around is the hair products
4:40
but back in the day clairol would
4:42
confine you to wearing subdued colors
4:45
and dress like your age what's that
4:48
about do you think that's changed or has
4:52
it not changed vision of any beverages
5:01
LT still is good for the rest of the
5:03
world I don't become any dresses because
5:08
of this expression but animal Khalifa
5:17
children and so I mean what do you think
5:25
about societal norms you know what used
5:27
to be normal is not normal anymore well
5:31
look at our world right now nothing is
5:33
normal do you think women are giving
5:35
themselves permission to show up a
5:37
little bit differently right now hurry
5:45
each other social cop and the labor and
5:54
we are so collision and each other and
5:58
our energies are full yeah i would i
6:01
would agree we're having a little bit of
6:03
connectivity issues with your camera
6:05
right now so hopefully we're going to be
6:07
able to get through the rest of this i
6:08
have a question to ask you what's the
6:11
one thing that you would like your
6:14
network people that you know our family
6:16
members what would you like them to know
6:18
about aging and beauty what message can
6:21
you give them because you learn each i
6:31
can come two paces Oh
6:36
being in love with his toast and being a
6:39
publisher stuff that looking for an oil
6:42
is our drug never seeing all the
6:45
different that's a great message I mean
6:47
that really is a great message be
6:49
yourself step into your who you are try
6:53
making put blinders on as to look for
6:56
staying out there I mean we've been
6:58
talking for weeks now that that this
7:00
whole how do we show up in the world is
7:04
changing we have the young people who
7:06
are drying their hair white and silver
7:08
and gray because they want to look like
7:11
I guess me I don't i'm not sure i'm not
7:15
sure i don't know why and and we've got
7:18
you know women of my age you know 60 and
7:21
over who who are saying i want to have
7:23
white it's not that I want to have white
7:25
hair but I want to be exactly who I am
7:28
so I'm taking some real positive things
7:30
out of what's going on right now is that
7:33
we are we are giving ourselves
7:34
permission nobody else has to give us
7:37
permission we are giving ourselves
7:38
permission to show up in a way that
7:42
makes us feel like we're not faking it
