My guest today is Alexandra Levin and we are going to ideas on how to IMBUE your beautiful self-expression. Alexandra is the co-founder of The Back Forty which supports mid-lifers to cause the second half of life as an inspiring, radical, and purposeful best half, based on the premise that “the best is yet to come and, babe, won’t it be fine!”
One of the big topics online and off is woman feeling invisible. In fact I did a live a couple of weeks ago about feeling invisible in Las Vegas as it pertained to my hair.. show hair. I made a post in a Facebook group about that topic and received quite a few replies. Some said they feel totally invisible, others discussed the concept of invisibility and still others felt that they are feeling more visible than ever before

0:34

0:38
welcome our guests in today Alexandra
0:40
how are you today i am doing wonderful
0:44
how are you doing I'm great you know
0:47
we're it there's always something going
0:49
on right and I know we had a little bit
0:51
of technical difficulties actually not
0:53
us but before this so I'm really glad
0:55
that we're here and we're going to be
0:58
talking about being invisible and you
1:02
know what a couple of weeks ago actually
1:03
did a blog post and alive about that
1:05
that I went to Las Vegas and I felt
1:07
invisible and it wasn't so much that I
1:09
felt like you know like nobody was
1:13
noticing me I just personally felt like
1:16
I didn't fit in to all the beautiful
1:19
people and I really had to do a come to
1:21
whatever meeting with myself and and cut
1:24
you know come to terms with that so
1:26
we're going to talk about why women feel
1:30
invisible and get your thoughts on that
1:32
because this is right up your alley so
1:35
what do you think about this whole
1:36
invisibility thing well I think what
1:40
happens sometimes is when we look at
1:44
ourselves in the mirror whatever age we
1:46
are and we compare ourselves not even
1:48
necessarily to others but even to our
1:52
own self in the mirror when we were 20
1:55
or 30 or whatever age and we sometimes
1:59
may want to get invisible because we
2:02
don't look at ourselves with the semis
2:06
and I even look at my remember looking
2:08
at myself in the mirror and forwarding
2:10
thinking oh I was so much prettier 30
2:12
now
2:12
I can look at myself now they go I will
2:14
fight pretty 840 so and then it because
2:17
well I used to be pretty then but not
2:19
now and that is such a policy and it's
2:22
just such a result is just plain not
2:26
true it's a lie it's a lie we tell
2:29
ourselves that may either make us feel
2:32
invisible and make us want to get
2:33
invisible and make us not really take on
2:37
the full beauty inside and out that we
2:41
are today right I totally agree with
2:45
that in fact I put a post into one of
2:48
the one of the groups on Facebook called
2:50
gray and proud and I asked them you know
2:53
what about the whole invisible thing and
2:55
it was really interesting because i
2:57
would say about half of the people that
2:58
came back with their responses said that
3:01
in fact they did feel invisible and 75 I
3:03
feel invisible on this I feel invisible
3:05
but fifty percent of the people said
3:07
they actually felt more visible because
3:10
of this which was so interesting so this
3:13
is the reveal i actually i have to tell
3:16
you Alexandra I looked at some pictures
3:18
from back in January just like a month
3:20
and a half ago and oh my god it was like
3:24
just a little bit and it is totally
3:26
coming in but people were saying in this
3:29
group and they were responding saying
3:30
that they felt even more visible
3:32
actually and it was a really cool thing
3:34
because they looked different I mean
3:37
what do you think about that is that is
3:38
that stranger that you think might be a
3:40
common response I don't really get very
3:45
very empowering and I think the best way
3:49
for us to look at ourselves and others
3:52
and beauty is in terms of uniqueness we
3:57
contrary to popular belief we don't have
4:00
to be like somebody else and we don't
4:02
have to be we have all these ideas of
4:04
how either we should be or how we think
4:07
we should be or others we should be how
4:09
we're raised to be mm again all of that
4:12
is also alive so standing out being
4:16
unique having our own unique beauty
4:20
shine through so gray there so the way
4:23
we dress through what we do and how we
4:26
up it's so perfect so I mean I have a
4:30
question one of it we actually titled
4:32
this particular lives that we're doing
4:35
as how to imbue your beautiful self
4:39
expression so first Alexandra the
4:41
question is what does imbue stand for
4:44
well there are many different
4:47
definitions Webster definitions for
4:49
review so what we are saying the in view
4:53
is is inspiring your message beauty
4:59
uniquely expressed in the way only you
5:02
10 oh my gosh I really i love that
5:06
definition and for those of you who are
5:09
tuning in and I can see we have viewers
5:10
make sure to comment I mean do you feel
5:13
invisible or do you feel that you can
5:16
express your beauty put some comments in
5:18
there we'll put it up on the post right
5:20
now so we know what it stands for and so
5:23
what are some ways that we can and view
5:26
ourselves of self-expression what would
5:29
what would be some of the ways that you
5:30
think you can do this you know one great
5:33
way is to look for individually for me
5:37
for you for everyone doing this inquiry
5:41
look and see what likes us up because
5:44
when we do things that light us up we
5:48
show up as light and glowing and happy
5:53
and beautiful and this unique and you
5:56
can see the difference in the way
5:58
somebody looks when they're really
6:00
inspired and lit up about whatever it is
6:03
that lies them up or when they're not I
6:06
agree I totally grand I'm actually
6:08
looking at ourselves right now for those
6:11
of you who didn't know you might be
6:12
hiding under a rock today is
6:14
international women's day and we're
6:17
wearing red I think we'd rent we must
6:19
the white called each other and said
6:20
let's just wear the same red top people
6:23
women and men out there and I know that
6:26
my husband went to work with a red top
6:28
on and I know that Daryl your your
6:31
significant other is also wearing a red
6:32
top today we are in support of women all
6:36
around the world and what a perfect day
6:38
to be talking about this
6:39
call invisible saying vs. visibility you
6:44
know we have decided the two of us that
6:47
we are we want to help people create
6:50
that that extent expression and to
6:53
actually feel that way about themselves
6:56
and we're going to do that by we have a
6:59
free webinar that's coming up and we're
7:01
going to put the link in the comments
7:03
below and we'll also put it in the
7:04
status up there is completely free we're
7:06
going to be talking about how to imbue
7:09
or be imbued let's put up we have
7:13
somebody we got roi on their hey Roy how
7:16
you doing welcome to the show so we're
7:19
talking about this whole imbue thing and
7:21
what we have a free webinar and on this
7:23
webinar we're going to actually be
7:24
talking about ways that you can Envy
7:27
yourself any thoughts on that anything
7:30
that you want to add to that Alexandra
7:33
you know there's many different unique
7:36
ways in which we can approach imbuing
7:41
inspiring our own beauty uniquely
7:44
Express and what we're going to do is
7:46
we're going to create we're going to
7:47
create a game we're going to support
7:48
women and creating a game such matters
7:52
it's again it's play is joyful and we're
7:56
going to support women and creating that
7:58
for themselves you know and I love I
8:00
love the idea that we're going to play a
8:02
game and that this is going to be fun
8:04
because so many things out there are not
8:07
fun they're just hard work and at least
8:11
from my perspective when it just becomes
8:13
too hard and I don't think that the
8:14
payoff is going to be great enough what
8:17
do i do I say you know what my time is
8:19
better well spent somewhere else and so
8:21
the idea of the creating something fun
8:24
to do to help us step into our power is
8:29
empowering quite frankly and I'm so
8:32
excited about this we're going to as I
8:34
