EP 99: Age is NOT just a number. Meet two women who do not let age define them Apr 16, 2021

Show notes

Age is NOT just a number. Amen!
Are you ready to grow up and not grow old? Today's episode will inspire you to #cannonballwithconfidence. Listen in as two award-winning ad creatives talk about launching their #AgeisNOTjustaNumber video campaign -- an "Age Anthem" tackling ageism head-on. I was part of the campaign and loved every minute of it - you can watch it here.

If you believe that “age doesn’t define you, that substance is the new sexy, and in kicking ass instead of sitting on it,” meet Susan Lee Colby and Kathy Sjogren. After “aging out” of the youth-obsessed ad industry, the two friends co-founded Grace Creative, an agency specializing in marketing to women over 50.

Show notes

We talk about relationships a lot on the Fearlessly Facing Fifty podcast, and today's episode is a special one. I interviewed my Mother-in-law months ago sitting around the kitchen table.

Here is what she wrote: How blessed we are, how fortunate we've been that you are his mother and also my friend.
Cheers to you, Doreen Schmidt, AKA Grandma Do. You are an inspiration to so many - Happy 80th birthday.
Your words of wisdom will always be treasured.

EP 96: It's Time You Knew with Dr. Valena Wright Apr 02, 2021

Show notes

Dr. Valena Wright has specialized in gynecologic oncology for the past 25 years. When her sister, Debbie, received a diagnosis of ovarian cancer, she gained a new perspective on what patients and their families go through throughout the process.

Unfortunately, her sister died from ovarian cancer, but Wright used this opportunity to teach others what can be learned from her sister’s experience by writing her book “It’s Time You Knew.” In the book, Wright speaks with her own patients about their cancer journeys, discusses major takeaways from their experiences and explores ways to potentially reduce their risk for cancer, among other topics.

EP 94: Food can change your life with Kristen Coffield Mar 19, 2021

Show notes

What a great way to jump start spring... with an inspirational and motivational interview with Kristen Coffield, founder of the Culinary Cure website and She is It Facebook page, both dedicated to helping women over 50 live their best life.

I caught up with Kristen to find out how it all started, believe me this interview will boost your mind, body and soul…and will make you think about the choices we have at the end of our fork.
Kristen developed resilience at my lowest point. Her seemingly perfect life fell apart when things beyond my control sent me into a downward spiral. She was diagnosed with cancer, fighting depression, in debt, struggling in her marriage, and trying to maintain a “normal” life for her family.
By letting go of things I couldn’t control I was able to free up space for things I could. I doubled down on the power of food to detox my life, strengthen my body, and fuel my dreams. One bite at a time, I created a life of passion and purpose.

I took the simple daily habit of eating, made it a superpower, and changed my future.

Food changed my life, and it can change yours, too!

EP 93: When it's time to get back on the market with Holly Parker Mar 12, 2021

Show notes

Dating is like real estate; the longer you’re on the market, the more people are going to wonder what’s wrong with you! -Holly Parker

Today I have a conversation with New York City real estate powerhouse Holly Parker. Holly is with Douglas Elliman, NYC’s premiere luxury residential brokerage and has nearly 8 billion in sales. As you will learn through the interview, Holly is smart, a rock star networker, and made the combo of grit, grace and being sensitive work. Holly has been selling high-end properties for 20 years and along the way she has figured out that real estate is a lot like life, and life is a lot like real estate. After 7 years of marriage, Holly found herself “falling out of contract” and dreaded being a newly divorced woman who was “back on the market”. This experience inspired her to write her first book, back on the market: A Realtor’s Guide to Love and Life. In this interview, Holly shares the pain of her divorce, the triumph of her second marriage, and the secrets to finding herself. And now as a wife and mom to twin boys...life is precious and Holly realized that loving herself and caring for herself is now a priority.
