Fabulous After Fifty!

Bren Marrick (pen name) is the author of Dicks I’ve Met Online, a candid and humorous memoir exploring relationships, identity, online dating, and self-discovery in midlife. Through personal stories, hindsight, and sharp observations about modern relationships, Bren examines the ways people evolve through love, disappointment, reinvention, and the search for authentic connection. A lot of wit, emotional honesty and insights which will resonate with those navigating change, reflection, and new chapters later in life.We cover: How major life transitions can force us to re-evaluate identity, relationships, and personal happiness. The role of humor and honesty in navigating difficult or uncomfortable life experiences. What online dating and modern relationships can teach us about self-awareness, boundaries, expectations, and emotional growth. The difference between the life we thought we wanted and the life that actually fits us. Why self-reflection in midlife can become a powerful turning point rather than a crisis.

Ulrika Torquato is as diverse in the countries she has lived in as in the careers she has pursued: medical doctor, a career as opera singer and currently  postgraduate studies in palliative care psychology. The outcome of this: Joyering: the practice of noticing joy in every day life. We are talking meaning, presence and what truly matters. BIO Born in Sweden, raised in Brazil, and now living in Switzerland, my path has been anything but linear. I first trained and worked as a medical doctor before leaving that career to pursue opera singing in Europe. Although the change felt deeply right at the time, it did not bring the sense of fulfillment I had expected. Over the years, I became increasingly interested in why so many of us continue feeling that something is missing, even when life looks good from the outside. What gradually changed my life was not another achievement or reinvention, but learning to pay attention differently — noticing the small moments of joy and meaning that were already present, but often overlooked. This led me to create Joyering®, a simple app and practice that helps people reconnect with those moments in daily life. Now, at 57, I find myself returning in a new way to medicine through postgraduate studies in palliative care psychology, integrating different parts of my life and exploring what truly matters in how we live.

Today we explore how hardship changes us and why we can’t return to who we were before. How she survived a full-blown psychosis in her 40s, living with a congenital blood disease and repeated near-death pulmonary embolisms, and how a January hospitalization and turning 50 led her to cancel big birthday plans, retreat alone to the mountains, grieve, and confront mortality. We discuss stopping instead of pushing through, building healthy relationships, normalizing trauma, using reflection, divided attention and grounding in breath/heartbeat, reframing negative self-talk with statements of fact, and focusing on small daily wins. BIOLisa Lacy is a writer, trauma educator, and author of the upcoming memoir Notes From a Certified Madwoman and its companion Field Guide: The Psychology of Performance™️. After more than three decades in corporate education, healthcare consulting, performance, and storytelling, Lisa now speaks and writes about addiction, psychosis, trauma, nervous systems, identity masking, reinvention, and the hidden realities of high functioning survival in women. Drawing from lived experience, recovery, and years teaching trauma informed emotional intelligence in addiction recovery centers across Georgia, Lisa creates conversations that are psychologically informed without sounding clinical, emotionally honest, unexpectedly funny, and deeply human.

The host introduces the theme “Why Having It All Figured Out Isn’t Helpful” and interviews Chip Schultz, author of Every Dog Has Its Day: Reflections of Life, Love and the Leash, an executive coach, speaker, and woodturner. Schultz, married 42 years and a stepfather to three daughters, argues nobody has it all figured out and that embracing being wrong enables flexibility (“semper gumby”) and curiosity over judgment. He describes how a stroke at 55 shifted him from performance and overwork to authenticity, health, and usefulness, alongside renewed creativity through woodturning and writing. He explains woodturning and how round forms can relax the mind, and shares how StoryWorth revived his writing, leading to multiple books. Discussing “memento mori,” early parental deaths, and grief, he emphasizes using limited time kindly, remembering hardships, and viewing “going through things” as the journey. His tips include staying curious, caring for one’s body, and prioritizing sleep.

Lori Aber, a Southern California metabolic health and midlife wellness educator and former corporate litigator, talks about staying healthy in a modern environment that encourages inactivity, oversized portions, stress, and convenience foods—challenges that intensify in midlife and menopause. Lori explains how metabolism and weight changes are often driven more by lifestyle factors like inactivity, loss of lean muscle (sarcopenia), stress, and poor sleep than by menopause alone, and emphasizes the importance of safe, intelligent strength training to preserve muscle. She debunks many myths and Lori’s practical tips will sure make a difference! BIO Lorie Eber is a metabolic health and midlife wellness educator who helps women understand how stress, sleep, hormones, and daily habits affect metabolism as we age — and what actually works to support energy, health, and weight in real life.

In this episode of Fabulous After 50, I interview Idaho-based transformation coach and keynote speaker Sandra Wood about the hidden cost of being “the capable one” and how carrying too much can shift from something women do to who they believe they are. BIO After spending years as a devoted wife, stay-at-home mom, and the rock for everyone around her, my guest hit a breaking point—cancer at 40, divorce after 20 years, and the daunting task of rebuilding her life and career while raising two teenagers alone. But she didn’t just survive; she transformed. With nearly two decades as a coach and nonprofit leader—supporting others through their darkest moments at places like Ronald McDonald House and cancer centers—she’s seen firsthand what it means to fall apart and, more importantly, how to piece yourself back together. Now, she helps high-achieving women who’ve lost themselves in the chaos of caring for everyone else. Her work is raw, real, and rooted in her own hard-won wisdom: “If you don’t go within, you go without.” LINKS Sandra Wood’s Website https://www.instagram.com/sandrawoodcoach/?hl=en https://www.facebook.com/sandrawoodcoach If you enjoy the podcast please subscribe, review and share to spread the word.

In this episode, we explore how fear and feeling “not enough” hold many women back, especially after 50. We talk about her Tiny Brave Steps method—building a bridge across a “cavern” with small, brave planks—and her ACT tool. A human talk based on experience and wisdom with valuable tips. BIO Bernice McDonald is a Life Strategist who helps people navigate the hard stuff—loss, fear, change, disappointment—and discover the courage to rebuild through her “Tiny Brave Steps” method. She believes that courage isn’t the absence of fear – it’s learning to take one small, Brave Step while still scared. Her message is simple and deeply human: “You can do hard things, even if the step you take is tiny.” As the author of the “Little Books of Courage” series (beginning with ‘Brave Enough to Be Myself’ and ‘Brave Enough to Let Go’), Bernice blends storytelling, neuroscience, and soulful reflection to help listeners recognize their strength, befriend fear, and move forward with hope. Her warmth, humour, and practical tools make her an unforgettable guest for podcasts exploring personal growth, courage, mindset, midlife transitions, spirituality, or mental resilience.

“Cancelled, Broken, and Back Every Single Time” She has been broken, cancelled, gone viral, faced psychosis, solo motherhood, dengue fever alone on a tile floor in Thailand  and came back every single time. Today we welcome Soreya James, ceremonial speaker, transformational guide, thrice Author and Director of the Soul Sanctuary who has taken from her pretty extraordinary life to create a precise, complete technology that leaves nothing untouched. BIOI have lived a big life. One that many would say is unreachable but I believe in destiny and the human spirit and I am doing all that I can to embody mine. I have worked for one of the wealthiest men on earth, made and lost everything several times over, navigated some of the darkest terrain a human can endure. Parented solo for twenty years, run over thirty global retreats, held people in their deepest pain and across the threshold of death. Faced three near-death experiences and learned how to be present with all of it. A front page newspaper headline once called me a cult leader. An investigation threatened six months in prison, a grandfather whose hands taught me what forgiveness really costs. Years in India with Masters, Yogis and Gurus. Hundreds of hours of private work with those who came to me when everything else had found its limit. What I have seen and lived has me believing so deeply, so completely, in the human spirit. I haven’t just studied human psychology. I have lived it, for thirty-five years of this wild, unrelenting, beautiful life. I have worked with every major tradition of human healing and transformation available and I love to share it from my heart and soul. What has come from all of this is gold. A precise, complete technology that leaves nothing untouched. Whether I am with one person or a thousand, the process is the same. Remove the obstructions to the human spirit. Return a human being to the direct experience of their own soul.

Now, tell me if this sounds familiar. You know you should be moving more, sleeping better, eating well, managing your stress — you know it. And yet somehow, life happens, the week slips by, and the best intentions go right out the window. Sound familiar? Here’s the thing — it’s not about knowledge. It’s not even about willpower. And it is absolutely not about age. My guest today, Cara Michele Nether, has been working with midlife women for over 20 years, and she’s cracked the code on the real issue: consistency. Not perfection. Not a complete lifestyle overhaul. Tune in and soak it all up!   BIO Cara-Michele Nether is a midlife consistency consultant, owner of Strength and Vitality Wellness, and founder of the Strength and Vitality Accelerator. For over 20 years, she has worked with midlife women who don’t need more information about health; they need a way to consistently follow through. Busy professional women often already know what to do. Cara-Michele shows them how to use midlife consistency to make self-care work in real life. She teaches women how to use self-care as a source of energy and fit it into full, demanding lives so they can feel clear, capable, and confident. Cara-Michele is the author of Fuel Your Engines and a frequent podcast guest and speaker on midlife health and wellness.

Healing at the Kitchen Table: Water, Ritual & the Feminine Wisdom Years Well, after meeting Heather Ann, I realized I had a pretty unhealthy relationship with my kitchen table! Join me as spiritual healer, former performing artist, and trauma informed educator Heather Ann — reveals how the kitchen becomes the most unexpected portal for emotional healing, spiritual awakening, and even financial expansion. Many insights and tips there for you! BIO As women cross fifty, the kitchen stops being a place of duty and becomes a place of initiation. In this conversation, Heather Ann Ferri — spiritual healer, former performing artist, and trauma informed educator — reveals how the kitchen becomes the most unexpected portal for emotional healing, spiritual awakening, and even financial expansion. Drawing from ancient sciences, somatic wisdom, and her own performing arts infused healing toolkit, Heather shares how water, food, breath, writing, chanting, and ritual at the kitchen table can rewire a woman’s nervous system, restore her joy, and reconnect her to her feminine power. This is not a conversation about diets, toxins, or “fixing” yourself. It’s about remembering that the kitchen is where women chant, create, nourish, and pass down lineage wisdom — and how reclaiming this space can open the door to deeper intimacy, more money, and a renewed sense of purpose in the second half of life.

“We live in a world that rewards constant motion. Time Out is for the people who are ready to discover that stillness is not the opposite of progress — it’s the source of it.” Today the tables are turned as Sharon interviews me on my new offer: Timeouts, to reset, to hear ourselves. Our world is noisy and asks constant attention, we are the only ones who can choose to create pockets of quiet to hear ourselves, to reconnect and emerge stronger, clearer, happier. BIOMentor, coach, sparring partner, I am passionate about learning, growing, making the most of our lives. I pull on my many coaching accreditations, past as management consultant and general passion for life and people I have deepened in the many countries I live in to genuinely be there for whoever is lacking clarity, be it through short sparring sessions, be it through longer coaching programs, or through my new insight: our need for Timeouts to breathe, to quieten our mind and return to ourselves. Divorced with three grown up children I live in the Netherlands with partner of 10 years and our crazy cat and when not philosophizing I love transcendental meditation, running, cycling, dancing but also reading and just being.

Well hello everyone, It is so good to be back. As some of you may have noticed I took a little Timeout from my podcast and lots of other things for that matter to come back better, more aligned, and with a Time Out program for others who may be feeling the same, but more on that soon.

She shares a powerful understanding of how our thinking shapes our experience of life.Through her own journey, including the impact of trauma in her early life, Sharon spent many years living under the weight of a story she believed about herself.What she has come to see is that our suffering doesn’t come from what happens to us, but from the meaning we give to those events through our thinking.Today, Sharon works with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in patterns of anxiety, self-doubt, or overthinking. She helps them see something deeper about how their mind works, allowing space, clarity, and a natural sense of wellbeing to emerge.With a background in horsemanship, coaching, and personal development, Sharon brings a warm, honest, and down-to-earth approach.

A chance encounter on Facebook and so much in common!Join us as we discuss expatriation, motherhood, divorce, meaningfulness, independence and how we dared open to a new way of earning, aligned with our values, that fits in with our lifestyle, surrounded by a supportive international community and how we learn every step of the way. Get curious, be inspired. Enjoy the can-do vibes because so can you! BIOMeredith is a multi-passionate creative, expat, and entrepreneur who has spent her life navigating diverse careers—from animation and software sales to school administration. But when she became a parent, her priorities shifted. Living in Spain with young children and no family support, she longed for a life that aligned with her values of creativity, connection, and freedom. The next 14 years were spent as an “expat mom”, focused on creating (& recreating) home for her family and working in pockets of time around the kids’ schedules in a crazy patchwork of jobs & roles! At 57, everything changed when she was made redundant, losing not just her job but also her work visa after 7 years in Canada. Facing job rejections and disillusioned with the corporate world, she found herself at a crossroads. That’s when an unexpected moment of inspiration struck—an Instagram post from a woman living the freedom-filled life in Europe that Meredith had always dreamed of. Seeing her story shattered Meredith’s belief that traditional career paths were the only option, and for the first time, she saw a clear way forward. She took a leap of faith into the world of high-ticket affiliate marketing, stepping into entrepreneurship as a way to reclaim her autonomy. Now, she’s in “Nomad Launch Mode,” preparing to leave Montreal and build a life that reflects her deepest vision—one of freedom, empowerment, and helping other women align with their purpose. Her dream? To collaboratively create wellness and spirituality retreats in Europe while supporting women in finding their own financial and lifestyle sovereignty. Meredith’s story is about reinvention, resilience, and the power of trusting yourself to create something entirely new—at any stage of life.

Well , here we are at episode 2 of our 6 part series on Self Care Consistency with Cara Michele, Licensed Acupuncturist, Functional Nutrition Counselor, Certified Personal Trainer & Author of “Fuel Your Engines”. Topic today:  Unpacking the Seven Foundations of Health: A Roadmap for Consistency. What are they? Why do they matter? How to start? How to stay consistent! Enjoy and thrive!! BIO:Licensed Acupuncturist, Functional Nutrition Counselor, Certified Personal Trainer & Author of “Fuel Your Engines” Cara-Michele Nether has been a licensed health practitioner and founder of Strength & Vitality Wellness near Baltimore, Maryland, for the past 19 years. She specializes in transforming sporadic stabs at self-care into reliable energy-building routines that become a natural part of the day for women between the ages of 45 and 65. She has been recognized as the Best-Rated Acupuncturist in Baltimore for five consecutive years. As a business owner, wife, and caregiver to aging parents, Cara-Michele understands the challenges women face when balancing family, work, and self-care.  She has guided hundreds of women to regain control of their well-being through simple, bite-sized practices. Her Self-Care Consistency Framework focuses on creating sustainable habits that generate mental and physical energy with less struggle and strain. Cara-Michele loves to say that feeling good is the easiest way to do good. Growing up, Cara-Michele observed the mental and physical self-harm her mother and other women caused themselves by prioritizing everyone else’s needs above their own self-care.  As a young woman, this made her both sad and angry, but later in life, she found herself in the same trap.  Even as a seasoned health practitioner, she was diagnosed with an avoidable health concern at age 52.  This experience reinforces that knowing what to do is rarely a problem for intelligent, hard-working women.  Getting it done, the leap to consistent self-care is the invisible hurdle.    Her mission is to inspire ten thousand women to embrace self-care consistency and rewrite their wellness stories.

Intro:I do love social media as that is how I came across Tineke Rensen and was immediately fascinated by her relationship with water. As you know I am an avid advocate of paying a lot more attention to the water we drink. Tineke however, a successful business coach with a lifelong relationship with water, uses its energy and power to help her clients find their hidden potential, their calling, to powerful effect!Join us as we talk water, and she shares surprising wisdom and concrete tips on how we too can tap into this incredible element. Don’t miss the free PDF below!!! BIOTineke transitioned from a driven businesswoman to embracing her gift of energizing water into a coherent state, influencing nearby water molecules, including those in the body. This coherence supports healing, better decision-making, and enriched personal and business strategies. Water has always been central to Tineke’s life, from kayaking wild rivers to teaching natural swimming. She now guides clients through energized water sessions, which many feel enhance body awareness and bring fresh perspectives, helping them unlock new potential to overcome personal or business plateaus. She says” I have been in, under and working with water most of my life. I competed on a world level with whitewater kayaking. I have had a watersports business. I discovered 1 year ago I can energize water. I take people with me in the water so the water molecules in their bodies will vibrate differently. We were in the water before we were born, and we have lost our connection with water. Water is liquid gold, not only because it is a drink but also because it helps our planet live. I decided to rent out my house so I could live near the water.” FREE GIFT: A free PDF: “How to energize the water you drink”     Download link:  https://waterhealing.eu/download-free-pdf LINKS:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tinekerensen/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tineke.rensenYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@PowerfulBusinessAcademyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tinekerensen/Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tineke.rensenLinkTree URL with all social media handles, website and what’sApp https://linktr.ee/TinekeRensenWebsite: https://www.WaterHealing.eu    and speakers’ website: https://www.TinekeRensen.comEmail: [email protected]: +31651371467     or:  https://wa.me/+31651371467 If you enjoy the podcast please subscribe, review and share to spread the word.

Well, hello everyone and welcome back to a new episode of Fabulous after Fifty. Sorry for the period of silence, all focus has been on my wealth and health online business! But here we are, back again with the sort of topic we really need: Moving from Worry to wellbeing. How different our life would be if we did not worry all the time. To guide us through the four pillars of wellbeing, I am delighted to welcome Paula Madden, internationally recognized Empowerment and Wellbeing Coach & Mentor. Let’s make it happen! BIO Paula is an Internationally recognised Empowerment and Wellbeing Coach & Mentor, dedicated to transforming lives and helping hard working, women rediscover their inner strength and vitality. Before becoming a coach, she spent nearly 20 years as a teacher. However, her life took a dramatic turn when stress, overachieving and constantly pushing myself resulted in her becoming too ill to work and she burnt out completely. This challenging period, though devastating, ignited a profound journey of transformation and healing. Coaching and energy medicine played a pivotal role in her recovery and personal growth and she now brings these powerful tools and insights to her own clients. Paula is passionate about the belief that every woman deserves and is fully capable of experiencing empowerment, vitality, joy, good health and success. Her mission is to support as many women as possible in achieving these fulfilling and empowering goals.

I am absolutely delighted to welcome fellow coach and co-worker at the International Association of Professional Coaches and Mentors Sue Hedley, who after decades in IT decided it was time for her to run her own business dedicated to helping women in midlife change course. When better to do so than in midlife?Today we go into the why and the how with top tips spoken not only from years of expertise and training, but also from her own experience! BIOBorn 40 miles north of London in the UK, I spent most of my life in my hometown—a fact that, while a bit embarrassing, shaped my journey. With over two decades dedicated to global IT projects, I thrived in my career until my early 50s. The challenges of menopause and high-stress work projects led me to the brink of a breakdown, prompting a crucial re-evaluation of my life. Reflecting on that tumultuous period, marked by tears at my desk and a sense of inadequacy, I now see it as a transformative gift that midlife offers women. This turning point inspired me to shift gears and seek a more fulfilling path. Today, residing in the picturesque Snowdonia in North Wales, I’ve reinvented myself as a coach, running my own business. My mission as a coach, centers on aiding women in midlife to discern their desires for the final chapter of their professional lives. My focus is on dismantling the mindset obstacles that trap them in unfulfilling jobs and lives. Debbie, one of my clients, beautifully captured the essence of my coaching approach, noting that she felt safe, cared for, and able to rediscover herself.

Today we talk about limitations and the tough truth that WE are the ones limiting ourselves. Join me as I talk with someone who knows all about being dealt adversity and who each time gets back up and thrives, inspiring other women along the way to take responsibility, to tap into not their mindset but their “heartset”, acknowledge their emotions and focus on what IS possible.Absolutely Fabulous, brain specialist (she has featured before on the difference between male and female brains), transformational therapist coach and counselor Claudia Koehoorn discusses the importance of what we think of ourselves, thinking in possibilities instead of limitations and the advantages of growing older!Some fabulous quotes in there too!  BIOClaudia Koehoorn, focuses on connection and change in her coaching and counseling practice JouwTransformatie. She mainly focuses on women because she works with a unique method to disconnect, specifically aimed at the female brain. Her added value is that she has studied psychology, so she quickly gets to the core of problems and uses all her knowledge and skills in the field of psychology in the guidance of her clients. Through her special mix of therapy, coaching and counseling, mixed with a large dose of humor, Claudia teaches women to reconnect with themselves and listen to their intuition. The knots, which are created because women think they have to fulfill all kinds of expectations and roles in their lives perfectly, she removes quickly and painlessly with her Female BrainZz Individal Program. This is not about talking but about connecting with yourself and visualizing. Men are also very welcome at JouwTransformatie for regular coaching and counseling. Her mission is ‘to empower and connect people with themselves’. Claudia, despite a number of life-changing events and her life in a wheelchair, is positive and relaxed in life. She was often asked how she could be in life like this. Through the beautiful conversations she had about this, she developed the desire and passion to pass on the richness of her attitude to life to others.In her sessions she teaches you to unknot, discover who you really are and where your strength lies which ensures that life events no longer hold you back from being who you want to be. This allows you to make the choices that suit you and you are no longer ruled by your thoughts and emotions. Besides individual sessions, Claudia also gives on and offline training on the difference between the male and female brain, the influence of hormones on our thinking, behavior and way of communicating, creating your own happiness and practical tools to de-stress and prevent stress. She is also available to companies to reduce and prevent burnout.  Everywhere she goes she is accompanied by her assistance dog Katya. Claudia was voted the nr 1 coach in Alkmaar, the Netherlands in 2021 and 2022.

Prepare today to meet an exceptional woman, Nathalie Grall Sorensen who I met over 15 years ago when we were posted with our families in Dakar Senegal.Her story is one of devastating loss – our worst nightmare as mothers – but also of love and resilience and how she became a passionate advocate of organ donation in the UAE, devoting herself tirelessly to her mission and to the ‘Viggo effect’.A powerful message of what we are capable of, inspiring every one of us to become a better person. BIONathalie is French and has been living in Dubai for the last 15 years.  She grew up in Normandy, France, married a Dane, lived as expat in five other countries before the UAE and has two children: Viggo and Coralie.Coralie lives in Spain and runs an agro-forest farm “the green rebel “” with her partner Carlo and have a lovely two years old name Paulo.Nathalie has always worked in whichever way she can, to help others. She ran a pottery workshop in Senegal to help deaf children rejected by their family.In Dubai, she was lucky to spend a lot of time with her son Viggo, supporting him with school and activities and his passion for golf. She is not only passionate about humans but animals too and has been in charge of an animal welfare organization in Dubai for the last 13 years, to educate and guide people and improve animal welfare. Her son Viggo, a golf champion, tragically passed away in Dubai two years ago, just three months shy of his eighteenth birthday. It was a brain hemorrhage. They chose to donate his organs and by doing so he has saved five lives.  Nathalie decided to turn this tragedy into transformation, turning loss into legacy.  She lobbies passionately for organ donation, helps the transplant program and is Ambassador for the aftercare of donor families. “Viggo left me an important mission: to advocate organ donation, to inform of the value of donation, to care, and share experience and help build a bridge with family donors. She has attended over 25 conferences to give speeches/testimonials and to share Viggo’s story, as well as appearing across multiple media channels, congresses, conferences, hospitals, tirelessly promoting organ donation every chance she can. Nathalie received an Award from the UAE health authorities and an award from the French consulate in Dubai for her humanitarian work promoting organ donations in the UAE. Viggo’s story continues to save lives.

And yes, today we have a man on the hot seat! The creator of the “Mindful Man movement” and the “From caving it to crushing it” podcast: Drew Deraney. Join us for this really interesting discussion about overcoming Self-Sabotage from within – wisdom from a reformed people pleaser. Shared with vulnerability and courage we discuss differences and commonalities and how together, man and woman, we can empower ourselves and unite to make the world a better place. BIODrew is the proud father of three, and for most of his life he has been concerned with what people thought of him and how he was supposed to act. He learned not to be his authentic self and instead became a people pleaser, a man wearing a mask. Over a 9-month span a few years ago, he endured four faith-shaking life events that caused him to question his existence and he became determined to find a better way to live. These traumatic events that would likely have derailed others, led Drew to turn the experiences into a passion for helping people to share THEIR stories. He made the discovery that to be happy, one must adhere to their own standards of honesty, integrity and truth and he needed to break free from the belief system anchored to him for 50 years. That discovery led him to launch his Mindful Man Movement™ and create the podcast: “From Caving in to Crushing It!” Drew has found his purpose to empower other men ready to do the same. Drew formed a men’s group and launched a coaching practice to provide a safe space for men to share, without judgement, and transform.
