We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Beth Djalali. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Beth below.
Alright, so we’re so thrilled to have Beth with us today – welcome and maybe we can jump right into it with a question about one of your qualities that we most admire. How did you develop your work ethic? Where do you think you get it from?
My work ethic is directly tied to daily habits, a positive attitude, and pride in my work. My father and late husband were great examples that showed me the importance of working hard daily. There’s no secret sauce to success, just an exemplary work ethic that begins and ends with showing up daily. Throw in personal values such as integrity, excellence, and accountability, and you have a strong work ethic that will serve you well.
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
After staying home for 26 years to raise my brood of three boys, it was time to figure out what came next. Can a fifty-something with a gap in their resumé re-enter the workforce? Was reinvention a foregone conclusion? Then I noticed twenty-somethings were posting “outfits of the day” on blogs and Instagram. That’s it! So what if I have gray hair, my figure isn’t as slim as it was, and wrinkles are splattered across my face? I love fashion too! That’s how Style at a Certain Age was born. Besides style inspiration, SaaCA is dedicated to aging with grace, strength, and beauty.
Aging is a privilege, but as Bette Davis famously claimed, “it’s not for sissies.”Once we hit fifty, changes begin with our hair, skin, and bodies. It’s up to us to keep fit both mentally and physically. It’s not about looking younger; it’s about looking our best. I love the share beauty, health & wellness, skincare, and style tips. Reinvention doesn’t mean turning into someone else. Reinvention is finding the grace and space to be who you are at 42, 62, or 82. While we can’t age backward like Benjamin Button, we can lead a healthy and vibrant life after fifty and beyond.
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
Passion
Optimism
Persistence
Any journey has many twists and turns, so you will need passion to reach your goals. It’s important to care about what you’re doing and keep you going through the rough patches. You’ll encounter failure multiple times, so when faced with a setback, don’t let that stop you; keep persistence at your beck and call. Sometimes, your goals may seem lofty or unachievable. That’s when optimism and a belief in yourself come into play.
Awesome, really appreciate you opening up with us today and before we close maybe you can share a book recommendation with us. Has there been a book that’s been impactful in your growth and development?
A business coach recommended The Artists Way by Julia Cameron to me. It is a wealth of information that helped me connect to process and purpose. It is a valuable tool to get in touch with your own creativity
