VIEW FROM THE TEAM
One for the Ages David Bowie once said, “Aging is the extraordinary process whereby you become the person you always should have been.” As we put together our July issue, which is all about the many facets of aging, Bowie’s words really resonated with us: that we continue to evolve as we age, and that we can also become better versions of ourselves — more intelligent, interesting, compassionate, giving and even sexier, too. The beauty of getting older is that all the wisdom, knowledge and experience we’ve acquired over the years doesn’t need to stop with us; it can be shared with the next generation — a win for all involved. It’s a powerful concept, and one that anyone else attending our recent Celebrating Women of Impact event may have reflected on as well. Held May 19 following our Celebrating & Empowering Women on the Rise webinar at new Mill Valley wellness and fitness destination Club Evexia, the event brought toWe were joined by some inspiring women gether influential women from different generain the community that night, including two tions, backgrounds and professions to mingle, of the women recognized in our network and connect.

Throughout the evening, mentorship was a common topic of discussion, and women helping other women is also a recurring theme on these pages; on our websites, marinmagazine. com and better.net, in our e-mail Better Letter newsletters; in our virtual events; and on our social media platforms. Mentorship can only become more powerful when we listen to and learn from those who have benefitted from life’s lessons before we have, and when we pass this wisdom on to the next generation — a practice we hope you’ll take to heart as well.
