Ep. 53 💫 The Pressure to Stay Youthful After 40 (and What Really Counts)

---

Season 1 Episode 53

---

The pressure to stay youthful is everywhere – in the mirror, on social media, and in the faces of women half your age. But what if youthfulness isn’t about fillers and filters, and more about how you feel in your own skin?

In this ProblemSolvHer podcast episode, Chloe and Dagmar unpack the pressure to look young after 40, how social media shapes our self-image, and why being present and purpose do more for your glow than any cream or procedure.

Topics We Cover:

•  What “youthful” really means beyond your face and body
•  How stress, sleep, and joy show up in your skin and energy
•  Social media, filters, and the rise of preventative Botox
•  Aging in public vs. aging in private, and why it feels so different
•  Competition, comparison, and pressure among women (and men)
•  The pill-to-stay-young hypothetical – and what it reveals about values
•  Belonging, identity, and why inner work matters more than outer work
•  Aging naturally, cosmetic work, and making choices without shame
•  How to feel youthful from the inside out – at any age
