Fabulous Over 50 Podcast

Are you tired of those perfectly curated social media profiles with women our age so photoshopped they all look age 18 and size 2? (seriously, what’s up with that?) But not feeling old enough to pre-order your coffin? Me too! That's why I started the fabulous over 50 podcast. It's time for us to celebrate being at an age where we stop caring about what other people think and just live fabulously - whatever that means to each of us! I'm your host, Jen Hardy, and I'm going to take you on a journey to the fabulousness inside yourself. Because fabulous is a state of mind. We’re going to take on the tough issues too, like ageism, dealing with menopause (& after), and putting the ‘care’ back into healthcare. You know what I'm talking about!

    How to Prepare for Court - and for life - with Judge Stephanie Boyd

    Hello Fabulous! It’s Jen, back with another chat with Judge Boyd!  And did we cover a lot of ground in this chat - everything from the trials of parenting to the timeless joy of snapping Polaroid pictures! Judge Boyd had us laughing and nodding in agreement as she shared her love for gardening, future travel dreams, and a wish for singing abilities that sadly don't extend past the shower. (I can relate, there's a reason Shower Thoughts are only spoken)  But her love for reading and advocating for bringing back good old-fashioned kindness made love her even more. On a more profound note, Judge Boyd’s journey through the legal labyrinth was truly inspiring. She spoke candidly about her choice to attend Saint Mary's in San Antonio (despite a tempting offer from Pepperdine) and how her faith guided every pivotal life decision. Judge Boyd Texas is exactly the perfect courtroom for her. Her reflections on representing clients against all odds and maintaining decorum in the courtroom were eye-opening.  And she had some fabulous advice for those who need to go to court, be sure to listen and find out!

    From an Anxious to Secure Relationship: Expert Tips from Julie Menanno

    Hello Fabulous! Jen here, and do I have a treat for you today! I just had an absolutely enlightening chat with the fabulous Julie Menanno. If you don’t already know her, she’s a relationship guru specializing in emotionally focused therapy (EFT), attachment theory, and the fine art of turning relationship chaos into secure love. Discover more at jenhardy.net Julie broke it down for us: Most of her couples—about 90%—fall into this “anxious-avoidant” tango. One partner’s basically a golden retriever, desperate for constant affection, while the other is a turtle, retreating into their shell to avoid all that emotional messiness. Sound familiar? Julie also tackled the big, scary jungle that is finding a good therapist. Spoiler alert: It’s like hunting for a unicorn. Emotionally focused therapy is where it’s at, but mastering it is no small feat. Luckily, Julie’s team operates as coaches and tackles issues across state lines (no magic carpet needed).

    Hello listeners! Welcome back to the Fabulous Over Fifty podcast. I'm your host, Jen Hardy, and today we're diving deeper into our recent discussion on making bold changes in our lives. Reflecting on how we were often taught to remain quiet and dainty, it's time to break those molds and start using our voices to effect positive change. In this episode, I introduce a new page on my website, jennhardy.net/go, where you can share the incredible steps you're taking to make a difference, whether it’s reconnecting with loved ones, getting involved in your community, or just getting outside to enjoy nature. We’ll also talk about a new flag I've been developing—the human flag, which symbolizes unity and collaboration, something our world desperately needs. Throughout the episode, I’ll be sharing my personal journey of starting a media company and the amazing people I've met through my "Voices of Justice" YouTube segment. Plus, we explore the importance of taking action, however small, and maintaining a positive outlook. Stick around for an exciting announcement about an upcoming interview with relationship guru Julie Mannano, and hear some inspiring success stories, including my own quirky venture into the YouTube world. So, get ready to be motivated and empowered to take that first step toward your own fabulous over fifty journey. Let’s get started!

In this episode, I'm teaming up with the amazing Nicole Christina to dive deep into some real talk about the things that really matter.. We’re talking all things body image, guilty pleasures (hello, chocolate!), and why obsessing over diets and dress sizes should be sooo last century. Nicole, who’s a psychotherapist and expert in eating disorders, will blow your mind with her insights on finding deep meaning, nurturing a positive relationship with food and your body, and surrounding yourself with positive vibes. Plus, she’s got some brilliant recommendations for reading, like Rebecca Scitchfield's "Body Kindness" and the self-compassion movement by Kristin Neff.

    I've Tried Being Nice - A chat with Ann Leary

    If you’ve ever found yourself wrestling with the high stakes of people-pleasing, marriage, or just living life fabulously after fifty, this episode is for you. I had the absolute joy of chatting with the remarkable Ann Leary, who has managed to pack all these subjects and more into her latest collection of essays, "I've Tried Being Nice." Think you can resist a book with an essay about a passive-aggressive showdown over off-leash dogs? Think again! Ann dives deep into her personal experiences—childhood, marriage, and even her tennis obsession. Spoiler alert: tennis may have saved her marriage, and also might save your next awkwardly long family holiday. We laughed, we nearly cried, and if I'm honest, mostly we laughed. Ann's candidness about her struggles with people-pleasing gave us all the giggles. Who knew that a confrontation over dogs could reveal so much about human nature? And if that’s not enough, we touched on the delights of aging, the beauty of Italy, and her hilarious misadventures with ballroom dancing classes alongside her husband, Denis Leary. Yes, there was a Russian dance instructor involved, and yes, it was as entertaining as it sounds. So grab a cup of coffee (or maybe a glass of wine), and tune in to hear Ann’s wonderful stories. And don’t forget to check out her new book—I promise you, it's a page-turner you won't want to miss!
