Blog #54. When Wisdom Roars

Aging quietly? Nope. Not here. Not now. Not ever. We’ve spent too many years navigating expectations, smoothing our edges, and whispering when we should have been roaring. This third chapter? It’s ours to live out loud—with presence, power, and a refusal to shrink.

For crying out loud, don’t tell us to "age gracefully"—which, let’s be honest, is often code for disappear quietly (but stay pretty while you fade), don’t make waves, and definitely don’t challenge the status quo. What nonsense. Where Wisdom Meets Wonder isn’t about fading away—it’s about stepping forward, fully seen and fully heard.

What does it sound like when wisdom roars? It sounds like flipping the outdated scripts that tell us to be smaller, quieter, or less than we are. It sounds like cheering our wrinkles, our wisdom, and our wild, unfiltered voices. It means:

·       Speaking up when we’ve been taught to stay silent.

·       Taking up space—physically, intellectually, and emotionally.

·       Laughing loudly, dressing boldly, and living unapologetically.

·       Claiming joy, ambition, adventure, and self-expression at every stage.

When wisdom roars, we are no longer seeking permission. We are speaking our stories, rejecting the false lines that have confined us. Our voices don’t just echo—they are like the booming thunder that shakes the ground.

Many of us were raised to believe that being too much—too opinionated, too ambitious, too loud, too visible—was a flaw. But here’s the truth: Too much for whom? And why should their comfort matter more than our truth? Imagine the nourishing, invigorating deep breaths we can take when we drop society’s corsets!

Letting wisdom roar means choosing authenticity over approval. It means trading the exhaustion of keeping up appearances for the exhilaration of showing up as we are. And, as Mark Twain told us, "If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything."

While personal liberation is powerful, real change happens when we lift each other up, riding on waves of collective power. When one woman speaks her truth, it’s a spark. When we all do, it’s a wildfire.
