This week, I’m joined by Barbara Bradley Baekgaard, co-founder of Vera Bradley, to hear the story behind the brand and the woman who helped build it. What started as a simple observation at an airport would become one of America’s most beloved lifestyle brands. In 1982, Barbara Bradley Baekgaard and her friend and business partner Patricia Miller noticed that every piece of luggage looked the same: boring, black, and bland. That moment sparked the idea for Vera Bradley, built on the belief that color could change how you feel.

Together, we talk about entrepreneurship, ambition, motherhood, success, and the lessons Barbara learned along the way. It’s an insightful conversation about what it really takes to build something lasting, and what can happen when your dream changes your life in ways you never expected.

In this episode, I'm joined by intuitive drinking coach Colleen Freeland for a conversation about the emotional reasons so many women turn to alcohol. 

We talk about why drinking has become so normalized, how wine can quietly become a coping mechanism, the connection between loneliness, stress, and overdrinking, and why true change isn't about willpower; it's about understanding what's really driving the habit. If you've ever questioned your relationship with alcohol or felt stuck in patterns you can't seem to break, this conversation offers a different perspective.

Have you ever found yourself asking, "Can I still wear this?" My question is... according to whom? 

In this episode, I'm challenging the outdated fashion rules and opinions that keep so many women playing small. I'm sharing the comments I've received, the mindset shifts that have helped me tune out the critics, and the seven style principles I actually live by. Because the goal isn't to dress for someone else's approval, it's to dress for the life you're living today. Authenticity never goes out of style, and the only opinion that truly matters is your own.

There’s no shortage of wellness advice these days, but how do you know what’s actually worth your time and money? From menopause supplements to skincare, hair growth, creatine, collagen, and everything in between, it can be hard to separate science from savvy marketing.

This week, I’m joined by Shanley Chien, Senior Editor of Health at U.S. News & World Report. With a background in medical research, Shanley specializes in turning complex clinical data into practical, easy-to-understand health advice. She leads the publication’s healthy aging coverage, including its 2025 Healthy Aging Survey, and helps identify the top over-the-counter health products based on expert recommendations, not social media trends.

Together, we break down what actually works, which wellness products are worth buying, and how to cut through the marketing hype so you can make more informed decisions for your health. Whether you're wondering if creatine is right for you, which drugstore skincare brands dermatologists trust, or if menopause supplements are truly worth the investment, this conversation will help you shop smarter and focus on what really supports healthy aging.

In this episode of Over 50 & Flourishing, I'm joined by Joan Lunden for a conversation about the moments that shaped her extraordinary career and the lessons she's carried into this next chapter of life. We talk about breaking into a male-dominated television industry with no experience, why she's always believed in saying "yes" before feeling ready, and how learning on the job became one of the greatest keys to her success.

Joan is an award-winning journalist, bestselling author, television host, and motivational speaker who has been a trusted voice in American homes for more than 50 years. As the longest-running female host of Good Morning America, she broke barriers in broadcast journalism and has continued to inspire millions through her resilience, reinvention, and advocacy for women's health.

We also discuss what happened after she left Good Morning America, why purpose became more important than prestige, how her breast cancer diagnosis led her into advocacy, and why she's become such a strong believer in cultivating female friendships later in life. This conversation is full of practical wisdom about staying open to new opportunities, embracing reinvention, and continuing to find meaning and purpose long after the career chapter you thought would define you.

For nearly three decades, Sarah Creal has helped shape the beauty industry from behind the scenes, developing products for iconic brands like Prada Beauty, Tom Ford, Bobbi Brown, and Victoria Beckham Beauty. Now, she's using everything she's learned to create makeup specifically designed for women over 40.

In today’s episode, Sarah shares her journey from luxury beauty product developer to founder, the research that goes into formulating products for changing skin, and why so much makeup on the market isn't built with midlife women in mind. We also discuss the biggest beauty challenges women face as they age, from hydration and complexion products to smudging eyeliner and mascara, and the simple formulation changes that can make all the difference. Plus, Sarah opens up about the highs and lows of building her own brand and the mission to help women over 40 feel seen, supported, and beautiful.

In this episode of Over 50 & Flourishing, I'm reflecting on one of the greatest lessons I took away from my recent tour: the incredible power of female connection. As we move through midlife, many of us experience shifts in our relationships, our families, and our sense of community. 

I share insights on healing trust, embracing vulnerability, and why community is essential to healthy aging. I also share practical ways to meet like-minded women, the power of saying yes to uncomfortable experiences, and how faith, service, and shared experiences can help us build intentional community.

In today’s episode of Over 50 & Flourishing, I’m joined by Dr. Pam Theriot, an optometrist, author, and dry eye specialist with more than 20 years of experience in eye care. Dr. Pam leads the Dry Eye Relief Center at Lusk Eye Specialists in Louisiana and, after experiencing her own struggles with dry eye early in her career, made it her mission to help others find lasting relief and restore comfort, confidence, and clarity. 

Together, we explore why dry eye has become increasingly common and how menopause, hormone replacement therapy, inflammation, and screen time may all be contributing factors. Dr. Pam explains what’s actually happening inside the eye when dry eye develops, how to choose the right eye drops, and the treatment options available when over-the-counter solutions aren’t enough.

We also dive into the beauty habits that may be harming our eyes, her thoughts on castor oil, radiofrequency treatments, IPL for rosacea, and the daily habits that can help protect our vision and support healthy aging for years to come.

In today’s episode of Over 50 & Flourishing, I’m joined by entrepreneur, philanthropist, and nonprofit founder Mandi Brown-Hayley for a deeply moving conversation about the life-changing experience that reshaped her family’s future.

Just one month after finalizing her divorce, Mandi found herself facing an unimaginable loss while simultaneously helping her children navigate grief, confusion, and difficult questions no parent is ever prepared to answer. Together, we discuss what it was like to live alongside mental health struggles within a marriage, the difficult decision to leave after years of trying to make it work, and the tools that helped her family find healing during one of the darkest seasons of their lives.

Mandi also shares how that profound loss ultimately led her to discover a greater purpose. Inspired by the support she received from family, friends, her faith, and counseling, she founded The Loved Ones Left Behind, an organization dedicated to helping families facing similar circumstances. Through financial assistance, resources, and compassionate support, the foundation helps families navigate overwhelming moments, find hope, and begin rebuilding their lives.

If you or someone you know is in distress or experiencing a mental health crisis, immediate help is available. You can quickly connect with free, confidential support by calling or texting 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Weight loss changes more than your body. It can change how you see yourself, how others treat you, and the story you tell yourself every day. In today’s episode, I'm joined once again by registered dietitian, life coach, and Wellness Cottage co-founder Kim Lovely to talk about the emotional side of weight loss that so many women experience but rarely discuss. 

From body dysmorphia and identity shifts to navigating comments from others and adjusting to life after GLP-1s, Kim shares powerful insights on how to care for your mind as your body changes.

In today’s episode of Over 50 and Flourishing, Courtney returns to give us updates on her weight loss journey.

After losing nearly 90 pounds, Courtney opens up about the side of weight loss nobody talks about. From body dysmorphia and self-image to the unexpected ways people treat her differently, she shares the emotional reality of life after reaching her goal. Together, we discuss GLP-1s, maintaining healthy habits, and why the mental transformation can be just as challenging as the physical one.
