“If there is one thing, I want women to take away from this conversation, just let shit go! Try new things. You don't have to be great at everything you do. Nothing has to be perfect. Enjoy your life because God knows how much time we have. Let’s just enjoy and experiment and explore. Tap into sides of ourselves we didn't know we had, and we were too afraid to try because we didn't think we would be good at it!” - Maryann LoRusso

I had such a great time talking to my guest Maryann LoRusso. We dive into so many different topics during this episode that I think anyone of any age can benefit from this conversation! Not just someone in their 40s or 50s! I found Maryanne on Instagram and I really loved her vibe and I know that you will too!

Maryann is the creator of the More Beautiful Project, which includes an online magazine, podcast, and newsletter for women journeying through midlife. Maryann brings to More Beautiful more than three decades of experience as a journalist and media executive. I love that the term more beautiful can mean anything to anyone!

Maryann has come out of fashion media industry, and we are going to talk about how that industry really shaped the women in our 40s and beyond and how it's so different for women in their 20s!
