A Different 50 Podcast

Hey AD50 Fam!! This week we discuss Spike Lee's Netflix Series She's Gotta Have It! To say we loved Season 2 would be an understatement. Donna and Leslie discuss what they loved about the series but also touch on other series that depict or have African Americans as the centerpiece; because like Issa Rae, we are down for everyone Black!

Hey!!! Your Girls Leslie and Donna are BACK!!! We took a month off because...well you are going to have to listen to the episode to find out exactly why. But nonetheless, we were so excited to get back into the studio and give everyone an update on what has been going on and why we were off air for a month. It's all good folks but you gotta tune in to understand what was going down.....

Jacquette Timmons focuses on the human side of money and works as a Financial Behaviorist and is committed to getting you to see that you don't manage money - you manage your choices around money. This conversation is so on point...we talk about how you can't finance your retirement (is that really a realistic option?) and how critical it is, especially as women of color, that we be on top of the choices we make around our money. Oh and there is no EASY BUTTON, but you gotta get over that! Money, Choices, Relationships is Jacquette's website where you can learn more about her, her services offered, and also grab her book "Financial Intimacy: How to Create a Healthy Relationship with Your Money and Your Mate" on Amazon. Please follow Jacquette on Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn to name a few places. Jacquette is also no a new Podcast host!!

Donna & Leslie catch up and discuss what's going on in their lives. Leslie attended the Sistah's in Business Expo in Newark, NJ and thus began the discussion on networking. Yes that over used word, and how yes even at this age we still need to be out here doing it because you never know what might come out of it!! Listen in, tell a friend and share your experiences with us.

Even in our 50's it's not a given that we all know how to communicate effectively. We could all use some work and on this episode Donna and Leslie explore their own communication styles and how they could possibly use some work....then of course Donna got on Leslie about well tune it and find out!

Sometimes we look around and wonder how we were ever friends with someone, has that ever happened to you?

Vanetta Harris is a licensed massage therapist originally from Columbus, Ohio who now resides in Jersey City, NJ. Ms. Harris came by to discuss how she made the career switch after working in Banking/Credit/Collections for 24 years, to become a massage therapist and start her own company Hands of Touch. Vanetta talked about how massage therapy is a form of self care and the various modalities she learned while obtaining her education; such as Acupuncture, Cupping, and Reflexology to name a few. Vanetta's journey is not unlike many women who in mid-life choose or are forced to find a new path. Vanetta truly feels that massage therapy is her "gift, passion, and calling", and looks forward in the future to opening her own Hands of Touch brick and mortar business to provide her services. Currently, Vanetta works at a Chiropractic office in Manhattan as a Medical Massage Therapist; as well as special events at Chillhouse Nail and Spa and is available for private sessions or special events. Vanetta had the special opportunity to work the 2018 U.S. Open Tennis Tournament. Vanetta can be reached via Instagram at hands.of.touch and on Facebook at Vanetta Anderson Harris Lmt

Leslie & Donna are back with their newest episode and discussing as single women who are in charge of EVERYTHING in their lives, why is it so hard to ask for help when needed?

Do you have problems asking for help/assistance/advice?
