You have a Warrior Within. The question is: do you know when to bring it forward?

Joan Burge is a cover girl at 74! 💄❤️

We are thrilled to celebrate Joan as the September 2026 cover feature of Becoming an Unstoppable Woman Magazine.

And this feature couldn't be more fitting.

In “Joan Burge: The Unstoppable Woman Who Refused to Stop Growing,” the four-page article looks back at more than five decades of Joan’s life and career, from a young woman entering the workforce to an entrepreneur who founded Office Dynamics and became an advocate for the professional development of administrative professionals.

But this isn't simply a story about career success.

It's about the challenges behind it. The risks. The sacrifices. The health battles and heartbreaking losses. The times business was uncertain. And the decision, again and again, to keep moving forward.

The article also explores the chapter Joan is writing today through Red Lipstick ON!, encouraging women to release their fears, discover what they have inside themselves, and live a BIG Life filled with confidence, courage, authenticity, and purpose.

At 74, Joan is still learning, building, speaking, mentoring, and dreaming.

We think that deserves a cover!

Thank you to and Becoming an Unstoppable Woman Magazine for recognizing Joan and sharing her story so beautifully.

Today, our hearts are full. ❤️

On World Gratitude Day, we want to take a moment to say thank you to YOU, the women who make Red Lipstick ON! so special.

Thank you for reading, commenting, sharing your stories, joining our experiences, participating in Book Club, opening The Gloss, cheering one another on, and embracing what it means to live a bold, radiant life.

Red Lipstick ON! may have started with my story, but every woman who brings her own courage, wisdom, energy, and experience into this community adds another chapter.

And today is also a wonderful reminder that gratitude becomes even more powerful when we express it.

Think about a woman who has encouraged you, believed in you, made you laugh, challenged you to grow, or simply been there when you needed her.

Don’t just think about how grateful you are for her. Tell her.

Better yet, tag her in the comments and tell us why you’re grateful for her. 💄❤️

Let’s turn the comments into one big celebration of the women who make our lives brighter.

One year ago, I released my song Red Lipstick ON! to a private group of women in my home before releasing it to the public.

Red Lipstick ON! is a song of confidence, self-love, and how I show up in the world and is for all women.

Check it out. It is on Apple Music, Spotify and other streaming platforms. You might want to add it to your playlist.

The song was produced by the very talented Munnings of Las Vegas.

You can be aware of your strengths and what you need to develop. But awareness alone won't change anything. You need education, training, and practice. Showing up and doing the work, not just watching it, is how real behavior change happens.

One of our course members, Cristina, emailed us last month with something that made my whole day.

She’d wanted a Chief of Staff position for a while, but she kept talking herself out of applying. Her inner voice told her it was too much, she wasn’t qualified enough, who was she to think she could do it.

Then, in her words: “I heard Joan’s voice telling me to be brave, be bold, and Red Lipstick ON!” So at 9:45 at night, in her pajamas, she sat down, rewrote her resume, and submitted it within the hour.

She hadn’t heard back yet when she wrote to us. But she already knew something had shifted. That’s what this course is actually built for, not a guaranteed outcome, but the courage to stop eliminating yourself before you even get the chance.

If you’ve been sitting on something you’re afraid to go after, this might be your sign.

Putting on my red lipstick and dance shoes after a 10 hour workday. I headed to the Fred Astaire dance studio by my house where I have been taking dance lessons for the past two months, one day a week.

My initial reason for starting the dance classes was to prepare myself for partner dancing at our big Gala at our Conference for Administrative Excellence in Las Vegas starting October 20.

What I have discovered is that moving my body at the end of the day has been a de-stressor and invigorates new energy so I can enjoy the rest of my evening.

Other benefits have included getting my cardio up, which is a necessity. I enjoy the social interaction as well. I’ve always loved dancing but never focused on dances like Salsa and Rumba. The other benefit is it’s challenging my brain. I have to concentrate. I have to think and learn how to follow someone else’s lead.

This is a lesson for all of us that when we explore something with one goal in mind, we never know what other wonderful benefits we will derive and who we will meet along the way. And you are never too old to rock away!

I’m grateful for the fabulous instructors at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Summerlin, NV.

I get asked all the time if Red Lipstick ON! is really for every age. Here’s my honest answer. It looks different at every age, and that’s exactly the point.

At 30, it might look like finally trusting your own opinion in a room full of louder voices. At 50, it might look like starting over after a chapter you didn’t choose. At 70, it might look like refusing to shrink just because the calendar says you should.

The lipstick isn’t the point. The decision behind it is. The decision to show up as yourself, right where you are, at whatever age you are.

Which season are you in right now? Tell me in the comments, I read every one.

Why did I write this book, and why now? I get this question a lot, so today I’m answering it on video.

The short version: I spent years watching capable women, women running teams, running households, running their own businesses, quietly stop showing up for themselves. I did it too, more than once. This book came out of finally deciding that had to change, for me and for the women I talk to every single day.

I’ve also realized something this year. I’ve been so deep in the work of Office Dynamics that I haven’t been showing up here the way I want to for Red Lipstick ON!. That’s changing now. You’re going to hear a lot more from me, not just about the book, but about the real, unfiltered version of living this out.

Watch the video, and let me know, what made you pick this book up in the first place?
