Don't Let Age Hold You Back: Becoming a Midlife Influencer with Stung by Samantha

Welcome to another episode of The Jen Marples Show, where we're all about empowering fabulous midlife women to embrace their age, follow their dreams, and rock this next chapter of life! 

On today's show I've got a super special guest, the one and only Samantha of Stung by Samantha. 

We're diving into the nitty gritty of what it takes to become a successful influencer in midlife, from overcoming fears to building a loyal following. Samantha also shares her top beauty, fashion, and lifestyle tips for midlife women.

Samantha is the midlife influencer behind Stung by Samantha, a lifestyle brand for women over 50. She’s got a dedicated following on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube and has thousands of pieces of content related to midlife beauty, fashion, fitness, and lifestyle.

Samantha and I discuss:

• Samantha shares her journey from a marketing career to becoming a successful influencer in her 50s, and the importance of pursuing your passions despite fear or judgment.
• Not letting fear get in the way of your dreams.
• Influencing requires constant content creation, building expertise in a niche, and monetizing through brand deals, affiliate marketing, and growing a loyal following over years of hard work.
• Beauty, fashion and lifestyle tips for midlife women including bronzer, moisturizer, exfoliator recommendations and styling tricks like shopping your own closet.
• Managing hair loss during menopause with supplements, laser therapy, minoxidil and customized hair care routines.
• Embracing the freedom of not caring what others think and being role models for our daughters by unapologetically pursuing our dreams.
