BE the Change: How to BE Inspiring, Impactful, and Influential in This Season of Life

 


Hey there, Queens!

Can we have some real talk today? There’s something so powerful about this phase of life we’re in. Over 50 isn’t just an age; it’s a vibe, a movement, and a platform to be everything we’ve worked so hard to become. We’ve got wisdom, resilience, and a whole lot of style—and it’s time to use it to inspire, impact, and influence the world around us.

So let’s get into it! Here’s how we can embrace our roles as leaders, motivators, and trailblazers in our families, communities, and beyond.


1. BE Inspiring: Share Your Story

Sis, your story is your power. Everything you’ve been through—the ups, the downs, the twists, and the turns—makes you uniquely qualified to inspire others. People don’t need perfection; they need authenticity.

When you share your journey—whether it’s overcoming a challenge, embracing self-love, or simply thriving as the fabulous woman you are—you’re lighting a spark for someone else.

How to Inspire:

  • Write it down: Start a blog, journal, or even social media posts to share your experiences.
  • Speak it out: Host small gatherings, participate in panels, or simply mentor younger women in your circle.
  • Live it: Be a walking example of resilience and joy. Your glow speaks volumes!

2. BE Impactful: Use Your Gifts for Good

Impact isn’t always about doing big things; it’s about doing meaningful things. Every talent, skill, or resource you have can be used to make a difference. Love cooking? Host a meal for someone in need. Great at organizing? Help a friend or family member get their life in order. A natural motivator? Start encouraging women in your community to chase their dreams.

Remember, small actions have ripple effects. Your contributions matter, whether they’re big or small.

Ways to Make an Impact:

  • Volunteer: Get involved in local causes that resonate with you.
  • Mentor: Offer guidance to younger women or even your peers.
  • Create: Use your skills—crafting, writing, designing—to brighten someone’s day or solve a problem.

3. BE Influential: Lead with Grace and Confidence

Influence is about how you show up. As women over 50, we bring experience and perspective that younger generations need. Leading with grace, confidence, and integrity creates a legacy that lasts far beyond us.

This doesn’t mean you have to be in the spotlight (unless that’s your thing!). Influence happens in everyday moments—in the way you support others, share your wisdom, and live with intention.

How to Build Influence:

  • Stay informed: Know what’s happening in your community and the world.
  • Build connections: Network with like-minded women or groups who align with your values.
  • Be consistent: Show up authentically and consistently, whether it’s in person or online.

Why Now Is the Perfect Time

Let me tell you something, sis—this phase of life is a gift. We’ve done the work, raised families, built careers, and weathered storms. Now it’s time to step into the fullness of who we are and own it unapologetically.

Here’s the secret: being inspiring, impactful, and influential doesn’t mean being perfect. It means being present. It means showing up as your authentic self, embracing your power, and letting your light shine.


You’ve Got This

So, what’s your next move? How will you inspire, impact, and influence today?

I’d love to hear your thoughts—what’s one step you’re taking to live boldly in this season of life? Drop me a comment below or DM me, and let’s keep this conversation going. Together, we’re unstoppable, sis. 

With love and encouragement,
Trina
