The Woman Who Wouldn’t Vanish.

I keep telling myself to ignore the noise.

Noise like… The world’s voice that says to women: “after 40, you fade.”

But mastery. What about mastery?

That quiet authority born from repetition, self-awareness, and integrity.

Mastery isn’t about being the best. It’s about not betraying yourself in the process of becoming.

Mastery often starts when the illusions burn away.

Every time reality triggers the old shame spiral, I instruct: “focus on you.”

Focus on you.

Focus on you.

Focus on you.
