You hit 40—and suddenly the world acts like your glow has expired, your opinions are too loud, and your best years are behind you. Society wants you invisible, palatable, and politely declining carbs.

Hard pass.

Welcome to the ultimate confidence comeback guide for women who are done waiting for permission. This isn’t another book filled with generic “love yourself” fluff or patronizing beauty tips. This is a fire-starting, rule-breaking, glow-up manifesto for women who are ready to live louder, bolder, and on their own damn terms.

✨ Start fresh at any age, on any day, for any damn reason

Whether you’re navigating a career reinvention, post-divorce freedom, hormone hurricanes, or just tired of being underestimated—this book gets you. And it’s got your back.

Author Dorey Duncan Scott is the creator of Voguegenics, a lifestyle brand redefining what it means to glow up with style, substance, and soul. As a former litigation paralegal turned wellness advocate, caregiver, and digital empowerment coach, she brings both wisdom and wit to the pages—along with an unforgettable pair of Louboutins and a laptop full of lived experience.

The No-BS Guide to Confidence at 40+ isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about remembering who you were before the world told you to tone it down.

You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to show up—and start.

✨ You were never meant to fade.
✨ You were always meant to rise.
✨ And darling, you already are.
