Relationships After 50: What Happens When You Change? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What happens to a relationship when the people in it aren't the same people who started it? At 55, I'm thinking about relationships a little differently. Because the truth is, we change. Our priorities change. Our dreams change. Our families change. And sometimes we look at the person we've been with for years and wonder: Do we actually know each other as the people we've become? In this episode, I'm thinking about love, marriage, commitment, communication, and what it means to grow together wit
I Don’t Want to Be Rich. I Want to Feel Free. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After years of struggling with money, divorce, different jobs, and finally finding some stability, I’ve started thinking about money very differently. At 55, I’m asking: • How much is actually enough? • What do I want my money to make possible? • Am I saving so much for the future that I’m missing my life now? • What if financial freedom isn’t about having more—but having more choices? This isn’t really an episode about money. It’s about what we want our lives to feel like now. 🎙️ I Don’t Want t
Apparently, I Need to Start Working Out Again (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Apparently I need to start working out again. Which is slightly embarrassing considering I spent years in the fitness industry teaching women how to exercise, lift weights, and take care of themselves. I know what to do. I just haven't been doing it. But this isn't really an episode about getting in shape. It's about what fitness means to me now that I'm 55. I don't want my old body back. I don't want to spend the next twenty years trying to get smaller, younger, or "summer ready." I'm much more
At 55, Sex and the City Looks Different (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Sex and the City premiered in 1998, I was 27 years old with a three-year-old and a six-month-old. My life looked absolutely nothing like Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha's—and yet, I was completely obsessed. I was living vicariously through four women in New York who were dating, working, talking about relationships, wearing fabulous clothes and trying to figure out who they were. Now I'm 55, and I've found myself thinking about those women—and especially Charlotte—in a completely di
I’m Over 'Beige': I Want My Personality Back (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What happens when you reach 55 and suddenly realize you don't want your life to look like everyone else's? Maybe I'm just getting older. Or maybe I've finally gotten old enough to stop caring quite so much about what's “in.” Because I'm over beige. The beige houses. The neutral everything. The clothes that are comfortable but don't necessarily make us feel beautiful. The good dishes sitting in a cabinet waiting for some special occasion that may never come. I miss personality. I miss women who h
