By the time Lauren Bernick was six years old, two different women had already told her she was "fat as a house." They weren't seeing her; they were projecting their own inherited fear and shame, expecting her to swallow it and pass it on. That's how the cycle works.
In this mini episode, Lauren traces that conditioning to its roots: beauty standards largely set by men with a vested interest in keeping women chasing an impossible ideal: the body of a teenage girl. The media and beauty industry flood us with images of youth while aging women are rendered invisible. Men get to grow old in public. Women are told to fight it, fix it, hide it.
Lauren's message is a rallying cry. Stop getting distracted by the noise telling you to look younger. Take your rage and use it! Protect the young women coming up behind you from predatory men and impossible standards, to demand that images of real, aging women are seen and celebrated, and to show up for each other the way bonobo monkeys do: fiercely, collectively, without leaving anyone behind.
We are perfectly imperfect. It's time to act like it.

What You'll Learn:
Physical Factors: How your posture and facial expressions impact how you look and feel over time.
Lifestyle & Habits: Everyday decisions about nutrition and physical activity either support your longevity or quietly add years to your appearance and health.
The Emotional Connection: Why negative emotions and chronic stress don't just affect your mood, they leave visible marks on your body and accelerate aging from the inside out.
The Power of Connection: The critical but often overlooked role of community and friendships in maintaining youth and vitality, and how social isolation can be as harmful as poor physical health.

Menopause isn’t an ending, it’s a powerful new chapter. Filmmaker Dominique Debroux joins Age Like a Badass Mother to share insights from her documentary Wise Women: Humanity’s Untold Origins. We explore how society has misunderstood and medicalized this life stage, and how post-menopausal women have historically held vital leadership and influence roles that are too often overlooked today.
From the pivotal roles grandmothers played in early human survival to what bonobos can teach us about female solidarity, Dominique challenges outdated narratives and shows how women can step fully into their power, wisdom, and leadership after midlife. She also shares practical strategies for nutrition, community, and self-care that help women thrive during this transformative stage.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why menopause has been misrepresented and medicalized
The historical leadership and influence of post-menopausal women
How community and support among women transform the menopause experience
Nutritional approaches to maintain energy, balance, and well-being
Lessons from anthropology and bonobos on female solidarity and power
How to embrace post-reproductive years as a time of wisdom, influence, and self-discovery
Key takeaway: Menopause is not a decline; it’s a launchpad for leadership, empowerment, and impact. Women who claim this stage can reshape their lives—and the world.

In this solo mini-episode, Lauren Bernick explores aging under pressure and the impact of beauty standards on women’s self-image. She shares her personal experience with Botox and fillers, not to promote or criticize cosmetic procedures, but to examine how cultural pressure to look young influences our choices.
Lauren reflects on changing her mind and on questioning whether decisions about appearance stem from self-care or societal expectations. She addresses judgment, of ourselves and others, and how comparison fuels insecurity around aging.
