Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art. Eleanor Roosevelt

Today, we talk about a superpower that society often tries to strip away from those of us in our 60s and beyond – the power of being seen.

Our guest, Stephanie O'Dell spent years styling over 6,000 women for brands like Athleta. In her 50s, she decided to completely reinvent her career and herself. With no prior experience running a talent agency, she launched Celebrate The Gray—a modeling and consulting agency that now represents over 400 silver-haired women who are redefining beauty.

Join us for real talk about trying new and hard things in your older years, anti-ageism, how to make yourself visible again, how AI is impacting the movement to age naturally, and real ways that you and I can play an important part in the campaign for ads depicting real, aging women. We end with a fun rapid-fire round of questions about Stephanie's favorite silver celebrities, best color for women over 60, and more.

Do you want to live life more boldly? Tune in as we get real with the "Queen of Elderstack," the powerhouse journalist, creator of the acclaimed [B]OLD AGE Substack -- Debbie Weil. Debbie has been leading discussions about Aging and Reinvention for years. In this rambling and REAL conversation about the ups, downs and uncertainties that define getting older, Weil sheds light on the problem with toxic positivity when it comes to talking about aging, moving from "doing" to "being," and her desire to continue to live boldly into her 90s. We delve into the complexities of the mother-daughter relationship, ones that still reverberate for Weil even after losing her mother a few years ago, and the challenges of acceptance and slowing down in the decades ahead.

Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art. Eleanor Roosevelt

Ladies let's open our closets! In this fun and funny episode we talk with Jacqui Getz, a New York based stylist who helps women in midlife translate who they are becoming into what they wear. Who do we get dressed for in the morning? Why do we buy the clothes we buy? And how can we add creativity and zing to our lives just by getting more intentional about what we choose to wear? We get into it all, and we go deep as Jacqui shares her personal journey of grieving the loss of her husband just weeks ago, and how she is finding strength in getting dressed, and defining who she wants to be in this new chapter of her life. Join us for an oh-so-relatable conversation about what we wear and what it says about how we feel about ourselves, who we are, and who we might want to become at this time in life.

Join us as we chat with Jaimie Krem, friendship scientist and founding director of the UCLA Center for Friendship Research. We discuss how friendship is a “silver bullet” in terms of the many health benefits it brings, including improvements in cardiovascular health, sleep, immune function, and reduced risk of mental illness and dementia. Jaimie describes how venting to your friends can be a manipulative, but effective social strategy. We contemplate the differences between men’s and women’s friendships, ponder what to call the process of “friend flirting or dating,” and examine the importance of intergenerational friendships. Finally, for those more wonkily inclined, Jaimie discusses her fascinating research on the neuroscience of friendship.

And don’t forget to hang around for our “After Thoughts” where Lori and Constance unpack the episode and chat about our thoughts on what we heard.
