Monologues for women over 40

Hi! I'm visiting from the screenwriter's lounge. I've been asked to write a monologue for an woman over 40. What do you look for in a good monologue? What are the overused tropes/themes/scenes I should avoid repeating? Thanks!

Have her be selling something.
Selling an athletic director of a Division 1 school on why she can coach the men's basketball team. Selling a non-believer on why the cult she's in is actually really cool. Or rallying the staff at a restaurant she opened and is on the verge of closing.
