Work Background
Podcast Co-Host
Hot Flashes and Bold MovesPodcast Co-Host
Jun. 2025I’m the Co-Host of Hot Flashes and Bold Moves, a podcast for women over 50 who are done apologizing and ready to laugh, learn, and live boldly. With a background in coaching, leadership development, and entrepreneurship, I bring decades of real-world experience to the mic—marriage, motherhood, reinvention, menopause, and everything in between. As women over 50, my co-host Dana and I are unfiltered and fearless about tackling the messy, hilarious, and sometimes taboo parts of aging. Our podcast is more than entertainment. It’s a movement! We dive into topics like dating after 50, menopause brain fog, self-worth, empty nesting, and even “what the hell is happening to my vagina?” with a mix of sharp insight, research, and irreverent humor. Beyond podcasting, I’m passionate about mentoring women to embrace reinvention, rewrite the rules of midlife, and own their next chapter with confidence. Whether I’m behind the mic, on stage, or in conversation, my goal is to spark bold moves, big laughs, and real connection. If you’re a brand, collaborator, or media partner looking to connect with women 50+ in an authentic and unforgettable way, let’s talk.
