O Magazine utilizes pop psychology and sells anti-aging cosmetics and anti-depressants to reassure middle-aged moms that you can fix, superficially, the fact that you don't "have it all."

On the surface, O magazine tries to convince women not to focus on their short-comings through meditation exercises and "grateful" articles. However, if this worked you wouldn't need anti-depressant, cosmetic ads!

These are surface-level solutions so that women can simply forget the issues they may have. Is this a step backwards for women? Is it really trying to say, "it's ok you don't 'have it all,' but you should be a little ashamed"?

Although some may say women should feel inspired by O Magazine, it is merely pop psychology shrouded by cosmetics and anti-depressants ads to "fix" women on the surface level; this is a step backwards for women who should feel unashamed despite not achieving the absurd notion of "having it all."
