103: Living Boldly In Your Second Half: With Sandy Zimmerman

from Girls Talk Healthy Aging · host Alli Kerr and Shawna Kaminski

At 49, Sandy Zimmerman is proving that midlife isn't the end of the story—it's the beginning of your biggest, boldest chapter yet. Sandy Zimmerman—a 10-time American Ninja Warrior competitor, motivational speaker, and author—is here to talk about living boldly in the second half of life. Since her last appearance, Sandy has gone all-in on her mission to inspire others. She has transitioned from a career as a teacher and sports coach to become a full-time inspirational speaker, sharing her story of resilience, perseverance, and courage with audiences everywhere. Her new book captures her powerful journey, but in this conversation she gives us a deeper look at the mindset shifts that helped her break through barriers—both physical and mental. Sandy opens up about how tackling tough physical challenges prepares you for life's toughest mental battles, and why the wisdom gained through aging gives us opportunities we can't access when we're younger. Now in midlife, she's living some of her best days—embracing confidence, caring less about what others think, and chasing big goals with clarity and purpose. She challenges women in midlife and beyond to first find clarity in what truly matters—then commit fully and take that first bold step. Because growth, reinvention, and fulfillment don't come from waiting…they come from action. Whether you're looking for midlife motivation, inspiration to start a new chapter, or proof that it's never too late to dream big and go all in, Sandy's story will light the fire you need to take on your next challenge.

NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in
