💇‍♀️Episode 4 of BANGS ‘N’ BOTOX offers up HAIR-lariouspuns as Diane talks about her devotion to her hair and where that lands her on the superficiality meter with equal parts candor and humor.🎯😂

🏎️She amusingly describes her hair highlights as racing stripes letting us in on—sort of—the special secret sauce crafted by her hair magician that creates her anything-but-natural hue. 🪄

🪞When faced with the mirror Diane says she’s able to ignore most of the work aging has performed on her face—fine lines, not-so-fine lines, cavernous pores, unsightly spots that can’t remotely be classified as beauty marks—because she JUST focuses on her manufactured mane. 👩‍🍳

🏰In the story-time segment, Diane entertains us with “The Summer of My Discon-tint” which speaks to the perils of home hair dying coupled with the further perils of trying to teach teenagers when THEY witness first-hand the perils of home hair dying. 😮

🛰️Today’s episode of ✂️BANGS 'N' BOTOX: Women Who Wear Aging Well 💉orbits around a pretty heady theme, namely, THE FEMALE BODY, and how the perception of it is impacted by unrealistic narratives, ideals, cultural expectations, AND AGING. ♀️ Whoooaaa…that requires a double snap, right there! 🫰🫰Multiple relatable stories like the ultra-funny "Held Prisoner By My Sports Bra"💦illustrate the challenges and sometimes humorous outcomes that arise when podcast host Diane Dean-Epps has been forced to navigate these unrealistic norms. ⛵Diane says she has a good body; a great body; the best body. Listen in to find out how she can even make that claim. ☑️

💡The second episode of BANGS 'N' BOTOX is all about using storytelling and humor as coping mechanisms.😂 I can only lie prone on my comfy-cozy bed yodeling out, "Why me?" for so long before even the dogs get up and leave. 🛏️For me, I end up with way better results when I channel my angst, sadness, grief, and life event detritus into something I create or something I process in the moment with humor. 🌞In this way, I alchemize my challenging emotions into emotional gold.🪙

This is the inaugural episode for my humorous podcast about aging: BANGS 'N' BOTOX. (I call it my podcast pancake, and when you give this a listen, you'll hear why.)

In this segment I cover the format of the show which includes storytelling, sit-down standup comedy bits, and motivational snippets.

This time around I shared a story - and rant - about when I was talking to a much-older-than-me boss who told me I wasn’t a “spring chicken.” Now, I need you to know we weren’t talking about spring, chickens, nor anything to do with fowl or seasons of any kind. We were talking about my career, which I dared to think wasn’t over in my 50’s.

I also talk about permission...as in YOU DON'T NEED PERMISSION to create your own opportunity.

What do YOU really, really want to do in your life? What opportunity(ies) can YOU make FOR YOURSELF? Don't wait...if not now, when?
