Carla Ondrasik: Stop Trying

The FxCK YOU 50s is an unfiltered, unapologetic, and fiercely honest podcast hosted by Andrea Claire, a veteran of the fashion and beauty industry with over 30 years of experience. Designed specifically for women who are "done with aging gracefully," the show dismantles the commercialized myths of midlife and challenges the brands that try to sell "solutions" to invented "problems."

Andrea moves the conversation far beyond your mother’s "aging with grace" tea party. Instead, she creates a space for gritty, real-talk discussions about the realities of being 50+, covering everything from medical gaslighting and career pivots to reclaiming sexual intimacy and navigating the patriarchy. 

Andrea and her guests aren't just surviving midlife they are rebuilding it in their own image. This show is about total personal sovereignty. If you’re looking for a polite conversation about knitting, keep scrolling. If you’re ready to own your power, pull up a chair, you’re home.



The Guest List: 

Meet the Agitators: Women Who Refuse to Fade Out 

From a legal titan to a pelvic floor physiotherapist, the guest roster is a masterclass in living out loud:


  
Julie Tyas: A family law powerhouse who gets real about "Grey Divorce"—explaining why more women are choosing to walk away from long-term marriages after 50 and how to navigate the fallout with your bank account (and dignity) intact.



  
Angela Burk: Author of The Real Girls Guide to Midlife, discusses "The Chaos Inventory" and why desire doesn't retire



  
Dawn Belisle: The former U.S. Attorney who traded the courtroom for a kitchen in Nice, France, proving that it’s never too late to become an expat with French pastry chef skills.



  
Iryna Kirieieva: A former banking CEO from Ukraine who discusses the sheer grit required to rebuild a life and career after losing everything in the war, including her husband, from scratch in a new country at age 50.



  
Karen Bertelsen: A former TV host turned lifestyle blogger (The Art of Doing Stuff), talking about getting aged out of the spotlight to controlling your own narrative and shining your own light.



  
Alison Brown & Jill Jaracz: The corporate librarians who decided that quiet rooms weren't their vibe anymore. They pivoted into Olympic sports journalism, proving that your second act can be way louder than your first.
