## Resource

There comes a point where many women stop fearing wrinkles and start fearing what they've been taught wrinkles mean.In this week's Mid Week Tease, Adelle unpacks the stories women inherit about aging, from the belief that our worth has an expiry date to the pressure of ticking invisible life milestones before it's "too late." Drawing on psychology, sociology and personal reflection, this episode explores why so many women experience birthdays with anxiety instead of celebration, and what becomes possible when we begin questioning the narratives we've been handed. In this episode: Why women are taught to tie their worth to youth The psychology behind self-objectification The myth that your best years are behind you Why there is no deadline for becoming who you are The unexpected freedom many women discover as they grow older How fear of aging may actually be fear of losing social approval Why protecting your peace often comes with age If you've ever felt like you're running out of time or wondered whether life has already peaked, this conversation is for you. Join us at For Mannerless Women Live This conversation doesn't end here.On Saturday, 26th September 2026, we're bringing together incredible women in their 30s, 40s and 50s for an unforgettable live experience exploring womanhood, identity, freedom and everything we're still becoming.
