***TRIGGER WARNING***
In this episode, Heidi refers to two sexual assaults, one when she was a child.
In this week’s episode, I’m talking to the force of nature that is Heidi Clements.
Heidi is a 63 year old single, childfree woman living in the US. She loves fashion and she was a scripted writer who decided to use storytelling on social media as a way to get her message out about women over 50. She is passionate about changing the way the world looks at women over 50 reframing the narrative around older women.
Topics that Heidi & I cover are:
- how Heidi believes that women are only valued for their sexuality and their appearance, and this needs to be changed;
- how once menopause hits, women are deemed to be ‘unfuckable’
- how she was molested as a child, and raped when she was 36;
- how Heidi no longer has any interest in sex, and the stigma around not having it;
- how having a partner has never been a priority for her, and it still isn’t;
- women ageing, and the term ‘anti-ageing’;
- how everything good in life comes when we let go of what other people think;
- why the failure isn’t not having a partner, it’s not loving yourself;
- the idea that ‘you don’t know real love’ until you’ve had a child;
- heartbreak, and how Heidi has experienced it multiple times;
- narcissism, and how she’s a magnet for narcissistic men;
- how Heidi hates going solo to weddings more than anything;
- the things that Heidi loves the most about being single;
- how Heidi isn’t afraid of ‘dying alone’ because she isn’t alone;
- loneliness, and the fact that Heidi rarely experiences it;
- the unprecedented growth of her social media accounts.
