To view, visit FlowerPowerMom.com. It’s the first multidisciplinary panel of doctors and experts to speak candidly on the controversy surrounding later [...]
My recent comments about social discrimination against “granny moms” have sparked an email debate about whether or not maternal ageism exists at all. Some midlife mothers find themselves to be the butt of ageist remarks and preconceptions, while others don’t. Why? Could the answer be only skin deep? Check this out: We live in a [...]
When Hala Gorani, CNN anchor during my Mother’s Day interview, implied that our brave new maternal world—now teeming with first time mothers over 40—had outgrown ageism, I was taken aback. Not that I criticize her for it, but she was seeing the issue from her own perspective—that she had many mature mom friends. Surely, the [...]
It was over champagne brunch late Mother’s Day morning that I received an unexpected call from the producer for Don Lemon and CNN weekend. (See links to this broadcast below.) Pottering around in my jammies with two exuberant children, lining up TV movies for the rest of the day, and rather enjoying lazing around, I [...]
Happy Mother’s Day! I wrote this for all women who have walked the path to motherhood after 40. It comes with each A Mother’s Wish gift pendant. A MOTHER’S WISH I journeyed on my life path and gathered the wisdom I needed to arrive at a place of readiness to be a mother, regardless of [...]
Watching re-runs of the TV series Medium, little did I realize I was tuning into my past life in a new way. Like diving through an unexpected wormhole, I was back in the early 70’s with The Rolling Stones, President Jimmy Carter, Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and his wayward wife, Margaret. What does a [...]
The surprise take-away from Tina Fey’s appearance on Oprah earlier this month had to do with the handling Fey’s “big announcement”. While 40-year-old Fey was clearly pregnant—rendering the “big announcement” practically rhetorical—the viewing experience was riddled with awkward tension. It was like watching a couple of kids tossing a football following an afternoon of fingering [...]
It was American Idol judge Randy Jackson who said “The world cannot live by pop stars alone.” That’s because every now and then, they need someone original. They need someone like a 20-year-old oddball bearded geek, packing a double bass and singing scat (http://www NULL.thefreedictionary NULL.com/scat) to a gobsmacked TV audience. Introducing Casey Abrams, the [...]
It’s a Mother of an evolution! Join us as we launch the first online community dedicated to women having children after 40—A CHILD AFTER 40. When you find yourself surrounded by young “yummy mummies” or Stepford moms under 35—in the prenatal clinic or on the playground—you’ve now got a place to hang your bell bottoms [...]
In search of support for A Child After 40–the campaign to empower women on the journey of midlife motherhood–I found an opinion piece published in the LA Times on 31st March, 2011, entitled “Debate: Are children better off with older mothers?”. (See link below.) It brought home how much the world at large really doesn’t [...]
