In this warm, deeply personal conversation - author, transformational life guide, and longtime coach Sarah Payne Naylor joins me to talk about what it really means to keep becoming at every age. Sarah shares the life experiences that shaped her extraordinary sense of possibility, including a powerful moment in Washington, D.C., when she heard the words that would change her life: “All you have to do is be yourself, and that will be quite enough.” We talk about trusting the journey when you don’t know the outcome, letting go of perfection and control, recognizing open and closed doors, finding purpose in different seasons of life, and learning to listen to your own inner wisdom. Sarah also takes us inside her book, YOU’RE NOT DONE BECOMING: Reclaim Personal Power and Purpose to Transform Yourself at Any Age, and shares why she created the new YOU’RE NOT DONE BECOMING Facilitator’s Guide for Communities of Faith to help change the conversation around aging. And yes, at 83, she’s writing books, embracing new technology, building websites, and already working on her next book - on what else - aging. Her message for women who may wonder whether their most interesting years are behind them? Please don’t shut your life down and think that it’s over. We’re not done.

    Caring for Aging Parents: What You Need to Know BEFORE a Crisis

    Send us Fan Mail Sometimes caregiving begins long before anyone calls you a caregiver. It can begin with a forgotten bill. A house that isn't being kept up the way it once was. A confusing moment that seems funny at first. Or simply that feeling that something with Mom or Dad is... different. So, what should we be noticing BEFORE there's a crisis? On this episode of the Ageless Glamour Girls™ Podcast, host Marqueeta Curtis-Haynes talks with Elder Care Strategist Nicole Hilgenkamp, founder of Your Parents Keeper, a caregiver education company, about how families can prepare for the caregiving journey before a fall, hospitalization, or other emergency forces them into action. After navigating her own caregiving journey with her mother, Nicole created the 7 Phases of Caring for an Aging Parent. She shares what she wishes she'd known, along with practical advice on spotting early changes, starting important conversations, preparing essential documents, understanding different levels of care and their costs, and building a caregiving team before you need one. We also talk about a health issue that can have surprising consequences for older adults: UTIs, and why families should know the signs. And then we turn the conversation around: We're aging, too. What can WE do now to make life easier for the people who may someday have to care for or advocate for us? Whether you're already caring for someone you love, beginning to notice those little changes, or simply thinking ahead, this conversation is a reminder that the best time to prepare for caregiving isn't during the crisis. It's before it.                                 ********************************************** ABOUT OUR GUEST:  Nicole Hilgenkamp Founder, Your Parents Keeper · Elder Care Strategist With a degree in sociology and 30 years of executive experience in process optimization, change management, and Fortune 100 operations and supply chain, Nicole Hilgenkamp brings a systems-based approach to one of life's most complicated jobs: caring for an aging parent. After experiencing elder care firsthand while caring for her own parents, Nicole founded Your Parents Keeper, a caregiver education company that helps adult children plan for and navigate the physical, emotional, financial, and legal realities of caring for aging parents.

    When Fear Disguises Itself as Logic | Jane Bond on Self-Trust, Reinvention & Starting Again

    Send us Fan Mail This conversation wasn't supposed to begin this way - but maybe that's exactly why it became so powerful.   What started as a casual pre-show conversation between two women quickly turned into one of the most candid and vulnerable conversations I've ever shared on the Ageless Glamour Girls™ Podcast.   When I started recording, I had no idea that somehow, we were also LIVE. Yes. LIVE. And apparently, my guest noticed before I did! By the time I realized what was happening, we were already about 11 or 12 minutes into some REALLY good stuff. She said, “This is all the good stuff!” And she was right. So, we kept going. And I'm so glad we did.   My guest, Jane Bond, is an Identity Strategist, Reinvention Coach, Realtor, host of the Unpack Your Life Podcast, and creator of the Identity Rebuild App. Together, we get REAL about fear, self-doubt, regret, people-pleasing, ambition, exhaustion, and what happens when the life you've built no longer feels quite like the life you want. Jane explains why fear can be so difficult to recognize - sometimes it doesn't look like fear at all. It looks practical. Responsible. Logical.   And that hit home for me. Jane and I actually met several years ago when her office was in the same building as my husband's. At one point, she offered me an opportunity to enter the real estate business. I wanted to do it, but I had plenty of perfectly reasonable reasons for saying no. Looking back, however, I can see that fear and a lack of self-trust played a much bigger role in my decision than I realized at the time. We also talk about the difference between confidence and self-trust, why failure is simply “data,” the pressure so many women feel to keep performing and producing, and why reinvention isn't necessarily about becoming someone new. Sometimes it's about returning to who you were all along.                                           Jane also shares her five-step identity framework and introduces the Identity Rebuild App, designed to help people examine the identities they've carried, let go of what no longer serves them, and intentionally move forward.    Luvvies, this one is raw. It's funny. It's vulnerable. And yes - at times, it gets VERY real. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we enjoyed having it.    CHEERS to Healthy Aging and Joyful Living, Luvvies! ________________________ ABOUT JANE BOND:  Identity Strategist | Speaker | Host I’m Jane Bond, a high-level coach and strategist for people who are successful on the outside but know, deep down, that something needs to shift. My work lives at the intersection of identity, clarity, and execution. I help clients unpack who they’ve been, reconnect to who they are now, and intentionally design what comes next, without burnout, chaos, or pretending everything is fine.

    When You Don't Feel Like Yourself Anymore | Heike Yates on Midlife Fitness, Confidence & Finding Your Spark

    Send us Fan Mail Nothing is technically wrong... yet somehow, you don't quite feel like yourself anymore. It's a feeling many women experience during midlife - and one that's often misunderstood. In this empowering episode of the Ageless Glamour Girls™ Podcast, host Marqueeta Curtis-Haynes welcomes midlife fitness and mindset expert, podcast host, and author of the award-winning book Pursue Your Spark, Heike Yates, for a heartfelt conversation about navigating the physical, emotional, and identity shifts that often accompany this season of life. Heike shares her remarkable journey - from overcoming financial struggles and self-doubt to building a career helping women over 50 regain their strength, confidence, and sense of purpose. She also opens up about the surprising challenge of being deaf in one ear, the resilience that shaped her life, and the inspiration behind her award-winning book, Pursue Your Spark. Together, Marqueeta and Heike discuss: • Why so many women don't feel like themselves anymore  • Why what worked in your 30s and 40s may no longer work in midlife  • The connection between mindset, fitness, and healthy aging  • Why strength training becomes even more important as we age  • Simple, practical ways to build strength and confidence at home  • How to stop the cycle of constantly "starting over"  • The story behind Pursue Your Spark and what it really means to rediscover yourself Whether you're just beginning your wellness journey or looking for fresh motivation, this conversation offers practical encouragement and realistic strategies to help you build strength, embrace change, and move forward with confidence. And the good news? You don't have to have it all figured out. Sometimes one small step is enough to help you start moving forward again. ________________________________ About Heike Yates:  Hello, I’m Heike Yates. Many midlife women aren’t lacking motivation — they’re navigating seasons where what once worked no longer fits. I help them move out of the start-over cycle and rebuild strength, clarity, and confidence with realistic fitness, nutrition, and mindset strategies that support real life. Many midlife women aren’t lacking motivation—they’re navigating a season where what once worked no longer fits. I help women move out of the start-over cycle and rebuild strength, energy, and confidence with realistic fitness, nutrition, and mindset strategies that support real life. I know what it feels like to juggle work, motherhood, and identity while wondering if you’ll ever feel like yourself again. At one point, I was a single mom raising two kids on $300 a month, working long hours and trying to hold everything together. Fitness became my lifeline — the one thing that helped me feel strong, resilient, and hopeful when life felt heavy. Over the past 35+ years, that lifeline became my mission. I’ve helped thousands of midlife women move out of the start-over cycle and find an approach that finally works for their body and their life. That work is what led me to write Pursue Your Spark, now an award-winning guide for midlife women ready to move forward again.

The longtime singer - who toured with Kool & the Gang as a teenager - is now acting, auditioning, studying screenwriting, performing, and proving that the dreams we put on hold don’t have to stay there.

As Renee reminds us: “There is a space for you.” You just have to be willing to show up. Stay Bold. Stay Beautiful. Stay Brilliant.

    Don't Be Invisible to Yourself | Jo Blackwell on Self-Ageism, Confidence & Aging Well

    Send us Fan Mail Are you holding yourself back because of your age... without even realizing it? Growing older isn't the problem. The stories we've been told about growing older might be. In this inspiring conversation, Marqueeta Curtis-Haynes welcomes author, podcaster, and Midlife & Beyond creator Jo Blackwell for an honest discussion about self-ageism, reinvention, confidence, and why our later years may hold more possibility than we've been led to believe. In this uplifting and thought-provoking conversation, Marqueeta Curtis-Haynes welcomes author, podcaster, and Midlife & Beyond creator Jo Blackwell for a powerful discussion about self-ageism, reinvention, confidence, and embracing the incredible opportunities that come with growing older. After losing herself during perimenopause and navigating anxiety, depression, and major life changes, Jo discovered that midlife wasn't the end of her story—it was the beginning of an entirely new chapter. Today, she's helping women around the world challenge outdated beliefs about aging and embrace a future filled with purpose, possibility, and joy. Together, Marqueeta and Jo discuss: • What self-ageism is, and how it quietly shapes our lives • Why so many women feel invisible after 50 • The surprising "good news" about growing older • Why it's never too late to start over • The difference between reinventing yourself and becoming more of who you truly are • The importance of community, curiosity, and letting go • How changing the way we think about aging can change the way we live If you've ever wondered whether your best years are behind you, this conversation will leave you feeling hopeful, empowered, and ready to embrace what's next. At Ageless Glamour Girls™, we believe growing older isn't about becoming less - but about becoming more. **********************  From the Desk of Jo Blackwell: I write about the stories we carry, and how they shape the way we experience midlife and growing older.   I’ve always been interested in stories: those that are true, those we are told, and those we tell ourselves. In ancient cultures, storytellers were entrusted with remembering and retelling the stories of the people - helping individuals and communities make sense of who they were, where they came from, and what mattered.   I still believe that role matters. Being seen and heard can be as powerful as being loved. Taking the time to truly listen to another human being is a quiet, radical act, and one that feels increasingly necessary in an emotionally disconnected world   Over my lifetime, I’ve spent a great deal of time unpicking my own stories in search of truth and meaning. It has been a long, sometimes painful, but ultimately deeply fulfilling process. As I’ve grown older, I’ve found myself arriving, occasionally, at a place that feels like peace.   My working life has always revolved around stories:                                                       • As a brand photographer, I helped entrepreneurs tell their stories more clearly, so they could attract clients aligned with who they really were.                                    • Through one-to-one coaching, I supported women in midlife to question the stories holding them back and to begin shaping new ones that reflected who they were becoming.                                                                                                                       • Today, I write about the culture of ageing, and in my fiction, women in midlife and beyond are very often at the heart of the story.                                                                                                                                                                                               Alongside this work, I’ve been married for more than four decades. We have four children, four children-in-law, and ten grandchildren. They are my greatest blessing, and together, they form the most meaningful story of my life.  ***********************  CONNECT WITH JO: *Book: Ageing Wonderfully Well: The Good News about Midlife and Growing Older:  https://geni.us/AgeingWonderfullyWell *Website: https://www.joblackwell.co.uk/  *YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JoBlackwell-MidlifeAndBeyond *Substack: https://joblackwellmidlifeandbeyond.substack.com  *IG:  @joblackwell_midlifeandbeyond         Support the show Support Ageless Glamour Girls™: www.agelessglamourgirls.com        www.linkedin.com/in/marqueetacurtishaynes       https://www.youtube.com/@agelessglamourgirls      https://agelessglamourgirlsboutique.com/Instagram @agelessglamourgirlsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/agelessglamourgirlsPrivate (AGG) FB Group: The Ageless Café: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theagelesscafeTikTok: @agelessglamourgirlshttps://www.shopltk.com/explore/AgelessGlamourGirls Podcast Producers: Ageless Glamour Girls™ and Purple Tulip Media, LLC

    The Hidden Side of Retirement: Identity, Purpose, and Life After the Career Ends

    Send us Fan Mail You can spend decades preparing financially for retirement... and still find yourself completely unprepared for what comes next. So why do so many women feel a little lost once their careers end? We're revisiting one of our most thought-provoking conversations in this encore episode of the Ageless Glamour Girls™ Podcast. Host Marqueeta Curtis-Haynes sits down with Cheryl Fimbel, author of The Hidden Side of Retirement: What Nobody Tells You About Identity, Purpose, and Life After Your Career Ends, for an honest conversation about one of life's biggest transitions. Originally released in April 2026, this episode remains just as timely and relevant for anyone approaching retirement - or already navigating this important season of life. After a 45-year career in healthcare leadership, Cheryl entered retirement financially prepared - but emotionally caught off guard. Together, Marqueeta and Cheryl unpack the unexpected challenges that often accompany retirement, from the loss of identity and routine to redefining purpose and rebuilding meaningful connections. Cheryl also shares why the first 90 days matter, how to avoid rushing into reinvention, and practical ways to begin building a meaningful and fulfilling next chapter. Most importantly, she reminds us of something we all need to hear: "You are not broken. You're in transition." And yes - we also celebrate the joys of retirement: more freedom, more time with the people you love, new adventures, and the opportunity to create a life that's truly your own. Whether retirement is years away, just around the corner, or already part of your story, this conversation offers practical wisdom, reassurance, and hope for the journey ahead. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN • Why retirement is as much an emotional transition as a financial one • Why so many women experience identity loss after leaving a long career • What really happens during the first 90 days - and why it matters • Why feeling lost doesn't mean you're broken • Practical ways to rebuild purpose, structure, and social connection • How to embrace this next season with confidence and intention ********************** ABOUT OUR GUEST Cheryl Fimbel is the author of The Hidden Side of Retirement: What Nobody Tells You About Identity, Purpose, and Life After Your Career Ends. Drawing on 45 years of experience in healthcare leadership and organizational change, she helps people prepare not only for the financial side of retirement, but also for the emotional transition that follows.

We're talking practical information, fresh perspectives, and lots of real convos along the way.
