This Sunday was to be my guests’ debut at South by Southwest (SXSW), hosting a MeetUp titled, “Pushed Aside: Re-scripting Women 40+“. Coronavirus concerns canceled the event, but these firecracker leaders were not going to let that stop them from delivering their timely message about ageism in the workplace. You can still catch it online and in person in Denver.    Barbara Brooks and Lupe Hirt are at the leading edge of discovering why women in their 40s, 50s and up are feeling undesired in the workplace, and discovering solutions as to how the culture can shift its view on it. They’ve also managed to create a remarkable sisterhood of support where they can hold space for, and hold up the mirror to, each incredible woman to remember how incredible they are and how badly we need to hear their voices.    Check out this week’s conversation which goes deep and will no doubt inspire you.      Bio: Link to Sunday’s meetup: https://www.linkedin.com/events/pushedaside-rescriptingwomen40-50/      Barbara Brooks, 53 is the founder and CEO of SecondAct|Women and a 26-year award-winning marketing and public relations professional. Catapulting shopping centers and districts to market leaders, she oversaw the marketing departments of regional and super-regional malls and downtown districts spanning from Trolley Square in Salt Lake City and Sundance Square in Fort Worth, to Fashion Show Mall on the Las Vegas Strip and Denver’s own, Town Center at Aurora and Park Meadows Retail Resort. Barbara’s career took an eight-year detour into the broadcast world where she served as a senior sales and business development representative for I Heart Radio, CBS Radio and Gannett (9News) before returning to shopping malls. It was at that time that she became an accidental entrepreneur and in 2011, partnered with long-time business associate, Guadalupe Hirt, to start a marketing and PR agency delivering ‘social marketing’ with flair and savvy. Most recently, she launched SecondAct|Women – an organization set on disrupting ageism by reframing the narrative for women over 40 and 50+ are past their prime. In reality, it's quite the opposite. The new company provides a marketplace of curated elevate business and lifestyle events, content and resources to spur corporate careers, business owner ventures and big ideas of women over 40 and 50+. You can find Barbara and SecondAct|Women on socials at @heybarbarab and @secondactwomen.     Guadalupe Hirt, 46 is the Co-Founder of SecondAct|Women, a female-focused company founded to counter and rescript the social narrative that women over 40 and 50 are past their prime. In April 2019, Hirt and founder (aka #workwife) Barbara Brooks launched SecondAct|Women’s BizLifeCon, the nation’s first business and life conference designed by women over 40 and 50 for women over 40 and 50. Since then, she and Brooks have been building a global community and marketplace to help midlife questing women tap into career and life resources, content, events and support tools. A 3x entrepreneur, public relations specialist, and cultural author turned women’s social advocate, Hirt is committed to helping women over 40 and 50 reclaim their power, elevate their voice and boldly pursue their career and life pursuits. A gifted empath with an ordinary, yet extraordinary background, Hirt’s authenticity and open-book convos make her a compelling and relatable speaker.

Second Act Sisterhood with Barbara Brooks and Lupe Hirt

BARBARA BROOKS &amp; LUPE HIRT Barbara has been in the corporate world for 25+ years and now at 53 years young, she just launched “Second Act Women” with her friend and business partner, Guadalupe Hirt. The idea behind the brand is that women are ageless, age doesn’t matter and you can have a do-over in the 2nd half of your life.  They are both self-aware, listening to Rene Brown, Rachel Hollis and other thought leaders. They are passionate about being happy in life. It’s not a midlife crisis - it’s a midlife journey and it’s about thriving, not just existing, in your second act. There is a cultural shift that is happening for women, it’s not about age, it’s about living at 40 and 50+.  They offer events, career workshops and other professional development programs for corporate women, business owners, freelancers and returnship candidates. It’s about disrupting ageism, they do not want women over 40 and 50 to be pushed aside any more! They want to ensure they get a fair chance. It’s about creating a community to connect. It’s another life stage, looking through the lens of experience and asking “what am I passionate about? What fills my heart? How can I have a deeper level of impact, leave a legacy and make genuine connections?” Barbara believes it’s our time. We’re today’s it-girl with a $15 trillion buying authority however, culture says it’s not and they put us on the shelf. Enough. We’re experienced, adventurous, life-loving, ready for more women and it’s time society see us like that. And as women, we need to be willing to let go of the bad relationships that are no longer having a positive impact on our lives. She believes we should be around people that lift us up and encourage you to take your second act to the next level.  Barbara's mother greatly impacted her life by teaching her how to “love” herself for who she is - we are enough! Lupe believes in being patient, experience has shown her that things take time and persistence is critical. She encourages us to be able to give and accept criticism and to be willing to talk through our issues. Having humility and being able to apologize when you are wrong, will go along the way both personally and professionally. Lupe encourages us to understand our strengths and weaknesses and to believe we have the ability to attract people who can help us. She believes it is about finding those great relationships and taking time to cultivate them. For Lupe, the most important relationship in her life is with her mother. They are very close and she considers her mom to be her rock. Lupe encourages us to accept that “Change is scary as hell”, but it’s a sign that you are alive. She reminds us that change is not always a negative, so just embrace it. She says why not take a different route home, do something you've never done before - just little changes like these can make a difference in our lives. Don’t be afraid to be by yourself and to take time to reflect. She believes life is about learning a little more about yourself and asking for guidance from above and within. We must be willing to see it and receive it. These ladies are passionate about taking action on the stirring of ideas in their hearts through mind mapping, setting the meetings and taking action! They believe in being aware of what is happening around us and being ready for change. They remind us to never let anyone tell you “you can’t” because if you believe, YOU CAN!  Look for Barbara and Lupe hosting their next conference in Denver this Spring! The next time you see a girlfriend, remember to pass it on and support her right where she is! #secondactwomen   Name: Barbara Brooks Company: SecondAct|Women Email: barbara@bloomcopresents.com Phone: 720.318.4199 Instagram: @heybarbarab Facebook: @heybarbarab LinkedIn:barbaralbrooks Company Website: secondactwomen.com   Name: Guadalupe Hirt Company: SecondAct|Women Email: Lupe@bloomcopresents.com Phone: 303.859.1762 Facebook: @Guadalupe Olvera Montes LinkedIn: Guadalupe Olvera Montes Hirt Company Website: secondactwomen.com   Upcoming Events: Check out the website for events and programs!
