Embracing Milestones: Von Decarlo and Ant Pruitt on Aging Gracefully

from Friends Like Us · host Marina Franklin

This week, host Marina Franklin is joined by Von Decarlo and Ant Pruitt, and we discuss life, faith and finding purpose at every age. Von's new book, 'Fine Over Fifty' is not just a book title; it's a vibe!  Von Decarlo is an introspective stand-up comedian and entertainment professional who has transformed a life of hardship into purpose. From Clairton, Pennsylvania, to a thriving career in New York City, she is known for her bold humor and unshakable authenticity. A graduate of The Art Institute of Pittsburgh, Von uses her platform to inspire inner strength—often declaring that even in the hardest times, with faith, you will be fine.  With her new book Fine Over Fifty, she aims to reshape the narrative around aging from one of fear and shame to power and purpose.
