Unapologetically Silver! Deciding to Go Gray

In this empowering episode of Drinks with the Girls, hosts Karen and Lisa sit down with special guest Natasha Kolehmainen to explore what it truly means to age authentically—especially for women over 40. From embracing gray hair to challenging unrealistic beauty standards, this candid conversation dives into the silver hair movement, midlife self-acceptance, and the power of aging on your own terms.

Natasha shares her personal journey of going gray as a conscious rebellion against the pressure to “stay young” and the costly, time-consuming routines pushed by the beauty industry. Together, the trio opens up about letting go of outdated norms, embracing natural beauty, and confronting the double standards women face compared to men as they age.

Whether you're considering ditching the dye or redefining what aging means to you, this episode offers real talk, inspiration, and actionable encouragement. Discover why going gray is more than a style choice—it’s a radical act of self-love.
