At what age are women officially supposed to stop starting new things?

According to Trish Appello, never.

At 55, Trish gave herself permission to do the thing she'd always wanted — and what followed was background work on Orange Is the New Black, a film producing certificate from UCLA at 62, and eventually creating The EffYou 50s, a comedy series about four women who decide the rules of midlife simply don't apply to them anymore.

In this conversation, we talk about what it actually looks like to start before you feel ready, how she built her way into the film industry one scrappy step at a time, and why she says her age isn't a liability — it's a superpower. If you've ever caught yourself asking "who do I think I am?" — this one's for you.
