It’s Time to Shrug Off the Cloak of Invisibility
No one better put this forty-something-year-old in a corner.
“The one thing that success brings you is greater visibility and at a time in your forties when you might not really be used to being very visible — because in traditional terms that’s the age in which you start to become invisible or so society would have it.”
- Jojo Moyes being interviewed on The Shift podcast by Sam Baker
Jojo Moyes is an incredibly successful author. I was listening to her being interviewed by Sam Baker and her views on visibility struck a chord with me. In Jojo’s case, she was referring to when her novel, Me Before You, was turned into a film and her career took off in a stratospheric way. At the time she was in her forties.
Now my career is nothing like hers and I haven’t had anything like the success that she has. But I was driving along in the car after recently launching my Substack and promoting it on Instagram and Twitter and being visible was how I felt. Exposed, you might also say.
