Honor Davis-Marks is on a mission. A champion of women over 40, she wants to help you release your inner critic, embrace your changing body, and ride all those midlife transitions with courage and conviction.
But Honor is no Pollyanna. She’s as genuine as they come, and her platform, Honestly With Honor, takes a candid look at all the foibles and conflicted feelings that accompany this messy life stage. As a single mom, she knows what it’s like to experience heartbreak and self-doubt. As a Brit living in the South of France, she understands the complexity of seeking romance when it’s not a requirement for happiness and fulfillment. As an entrepreneur in the hospitality business, she gets the necessity of building a community of likeminded women who offer support and comraderie. Through her Magical Midlife program, coaching and retreats, she wants to help you regain your confidence, forge new friendships and, most important, break free of those cultural and self-imposed limitations that can hold you back from finding joy.
During our conversation, Honor and I talk about:
- Whether or not French women have a healthier approach to aging than the rest of us—and what lifestyle habits we can pick up from them
- How she feels about America’s preoccupation with cosmetic surgery—and why she allows herself to judge it
- Why focusing on community, life experiences and travel during midlife is the way to go
- What it’s like doing social media in her 50s, and how she coaches other midlifers to try it
- The personal heartbreak she’s experienced—and her approach to dipping her toe back into the dating pool
- Why the stakes are higher with more mature romances, and how she feels men our age can do better
- How no one prepares us for midlife’s shakeups and confusion, and why we need to prepare the next generation
- Why she’s showing off her beautiful midlife body on social media—and why it’s important for people to love her as is
- Why we all need to chill out and age disgracefully!
Plus, Honor shares a few social media strategies and offers her top three tips for living your best midlife!
