How To Be 60 with Kaye Adams

Jaye Griffiths: Redefining 60, Resilience, and Reinvention


Listen Later

⚠️ Trigger warning: This episode includes discussion of domestic violence and abusive relationships, which some listeners may find distressing.


On this week’s episode, we’re joined by the brilliant Jaye Griffiths - actress of The Bill, Silent Witness, Doctor Who, and now Emmerdale, where she plays the unapologetically formidable Celia Daniels. At 61, Jaye isn’t slowing down; she’s running marathons, taking on fierce roles, and reminding us that 60 isn’t the end of anything - it’s the start of redefining what’s possible.


In this candid conversation, Jaye reflects on the lessons of her 50s, when she finally learned to say “no” without apology, and how her 60s have opened up a new chapter of peace, agency, and playfulness. She speaks with raw honesty about surviving an abusive relationship, the long journey of reclaiming her life, and the everyday joys of safety, home, and love.


Whether you’re navigating the leap into your 60s, questioning what confidence looks like in midlife, or simply needing to hear that it’s never too late to begin again, this is an episode that will resonate deeply. Because no one tells you how powerful it can be to step into your later decades with both strength and softness.
