—an online wellness community specifically created for women 40 and over—said that she"spent so much time self-deprecating, making myself small so I wasn't threatening."."That's the danger. I had to really practice not making myself less than and not letting myself be intimated by people who were just yelling louder."
"All those things, that as a good girl, that's what you do," she continued."When it gets detrimental is when it shifts into self-deprecation."Shields went on to say that women"are not taught" how to advocate for themselves—a vital practice that she says has changed her life. "You have to have conversations with them, about their bodies, about what's happening with their bodies, about what they're feeling," she explained."The dialogue has to keep happening so that you can teach them the questions to ask their health care provider."
“It starts at 40 and just don't realize it's happening,” she told the crowd."I started looking at marketing and it was either you're the sexy girl at the bar or it was all anti-aging, only wrinkles or only menopause."
