From Homelessness to Designer Vaginas: Ladies, Let’s Get Real!

This year has flown by, hasn’t it? Yet somehow, it feels like we’ve lived a decade in just a few months. And guess what? We still have a whole quarter left to go. August, in particular, brought a whirlwind of events that had me rethinking and reevaluating so much of my life.

One of those moments was when I found myself on Loose Women, opening up about a chapter in my life I hadn’t planned to discuss: being homeless and sleeping in my car.

It wasn’t something I had intended to share, but when Keli asked, I just couldn’t hold back. I kept repeating that my strongest feeling at the time wasn’t fear, but overwhelming shame.

And now, looking back, I find that so incredibly sad. Not just because I was homeless, but because that shame took over everything.

So here’s the thing, ladies. If you’re going through tough times—whatever the reason—please don’t let pride stop you from asking for help. Your image, your reputation, all those things we worry about? They don’t matter. We all make mistakes.

No one is perfect, and we don’t have to live up to impossible standards while suffering in silence. It’s wonderful that we’re raised to be strong, stoic, and independent in this country.

But we also need to embrace the reality that we’re human and that asking for support is a sign of strength, not weakness. We all need somebody, and it’s okay to admit that.

I’m proud of myself for surviving that period but looking back, I realize how reckless it was. I should have reached out, stayed with a friend, or even gone back to my mom’s.

But my pride and ego held me back—I didn’t want anyone to see me fall apart. I was lucky. I had a Mercedes to sleep in and a nice neighbourhood to park in. But I was scared, running on pure adrenaline.

To my friends who figured it out and snapped me back to reality: thank you. You’re friends for life, and I would do anything for you. Maybe it’s because of that experience that I always have a room ready for a friend in need.

Shame, ego, and pride—they can be dangerous when used against ourselves. Don’t put yourself in danger, and don’t fear judgment. It’s just what people think, and it doesn’t define you. Even if it does, who cares?

We need to have these conversations with our children too. They’re in the same boat I was—worried about what others think, especially in this age of social media.

They care so much about comments from complete strangers. We need to teach them that these people don’t really know them, so why should they care?

Reflecting on my experiences, I realise how I can use them to help others, especially our children and image-conscious youngsters.

On another note, I recently graced the cover of Platinum Magazine, where I talked about love, relationships in my 50s, and—yes—sex and treatments.

Now, let me be clear: I’m not advising anyone to go under the knife unless that’s what you want or need. But I do highly recommend non-invasive treatments that can repair and rejuvenate, addressing everything from tears to dryness and loss of sensitivity.

Dr. O.’s methods work wonders, and you don’t have to be stuck with these issues for life. You can recover, and there’s a 97% success rate!

Honestly, who cares what your “kootch” looks like? Unless you’re an adult actress, nobody’s really inspecting it. What I’m promoting is reclaiming your sexual health because that’s important and worth investing in.

I haven’t had children, but I’ve seen the trauma many women endure. It’s amazing that there are treatments to reverse age-related changes, tighten, hydrate, and bring back the sensitivity so you can truly enjoy sex again. Because, let’s face it, what’s the point of living longer, looking and feeling great, if we’re just going to ignore the fact that sex is fantastic and can be again? We don’t want to spend the next 50-60 years without it!

I’m loving this stage of my life, this “Further-hood.” When you feel good and are truly happy, you want everyone around you to feel the same.

So let’s keep lifting each other up, ladies. We’re the strongest demographic on the planet, and there’s no better time than now.

Don’t be silenced, don’t sit in the corner. We should be called the Influencers because we are the only ones who have lived through everything—the past, present, and future. We’re rare hybrids, and it’s time the world woke up to that. Amen?!!!

Love you 😘😘💪🏾
