Finding Joy After 50 with Lisa Murphy


Listen Later

What if midlife isn’t the beginning of the end, but the spark of something extraordinary?

This week, I’m joined by Lisa Murphy, a certified Life & Wellness Coach and founder of the @50ForwardClub. After more than 20 years in magazines and digital media, Lisa made a bold pivot to help midlife women create intentional, fulfilling, and joyful lives.

In this conversation, we dive into the stories we tell ourselves about aging — and how to rewrite them. Lisa shares how she got sober, learned to understand (not just “feel”) her fears, and started building a vibrant community that celebrates what’s possible after 50. From challenging internalized ageism to finding joy on the dance floor, Lisa reminds us that it’s never too late to change your story.

💛 In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • Why your thoughts are stories — and how to stop believing the ones that hold you back

  • Practical mindset tools to quiet fear and move forward with confidence

  • How small, consistent shifts can create big transformation

  • The surprising link between positive views of aging and longevity

  • Why sobriety became Lisa’s doorway to freedom and joy

  • How celebration and play can become powerful forms of self-care

  • ✨ Connect with Lisa Murphy
