S2 Ep109: Don't Retire...Rewire! with Jill Wine-Banks

Jill Wine-Banks may be known to you as the Watergate Special Prosecutor who famously cross-examined Rose Mary Woods, President Nixon’s secretary, about the 18-minute gap in the Watergate tapes.  In addition to multiple other high-profile jobs (scroll down for the list!) decades later, she is now an MSNBC Legal Analyst. In addition, she is the author of The Watergate Girl: My Fight for Truth and Justice Against a Criminal President.  Jill is also one of the hosts of two hit podcasts- Sisters in Law, and iGen Politics. But, this is not a political podcast. I usually talk about hot flashes and hormones. So, why is Jill Wine-Banks my guest today?  Because Jill Wine-Banks is the embodiment of a woman who in her 70s started multiple new chapters and at age 80, has an entirely new career. 

In today’s episode, we chat about:

What it was like to be one of the few women in a male-dominated and sexist profession

The impact of a sexless, loveless marriage

How she came to be the Watergate Special Prosecutor and how that changed her life

Her experience with hot flashes and hormone therapy 

The secret to staying relevant and purposeful no matter what your age. 

And so much more….
