Pink Lady Posse

What happens when life hands you a spotlight — and you’re over 60, healing from heartbreak, and terrified to say yes? Roxanne Massey did exactly that when she joined The Golden Bachelor. In this soulful and sparkly conversation, we dive into what it really takes to show up for yourself, step into vulnerability, and live like the goddess you already are.

Roxanne — nurse, longevity coach, and unapologetic adventurer — shares how she turned grief into purpose, fear into empowerment, and sisterhood into her new superpower. From comedy roasts and courage to her new wellness platform for women over 50, this one’s a golden ticket to saying “yes” when your knees — and your comfort zone — are shaking.

In this deeply human and eye-opening Veterans Day episode, Sandy sits down with Leah Stiles, a Navy veteran, survivor, and founder of C WAVES, a nonprofit transforming how we understand eating disorders in the military.

What starts as a conversation about identity after service quickly dives into uncharted waters: the silent epidemic of eating disorders among service members, the myth of “fit not fat,” and how Leah’s own 30-year struggle turned into her mission to save others.

This one’s packed with honesty, courage, and some serious myth-busting about what health really looks like. Whether you’ve served, loved someone who has, or ever looked in the mirror and thought “not enough,” this episode will crack your heart open and fill it with fire.

Leah Stiles is the founder of Sea Waves, the nation’ only Veteran Service Organization dedicated to advocating for, educating, and supporting active duty service members, veterans, and their families who are dealing with disordered eating, eating disorders, and body dysmorphia. With twenty years of service and retiring as a Navy Senior Chief, she developed a strong commitment to supporting the well-being of her fellow service members. Having personally navigated the challenges of eating disorders during her service, she recognized the critical need for specialized support. Through Sea Waves, Leah is dedicated to offering crucial support and resources for prevention, recovery, and resilience. She strives to be a lighthouse, shining light on this often-taboo issue and guiding others who may be in the dark or weathering their own storms.

#womenover60,

What if your second act wasn’t a slow fade—but a full-blown spotlight moment? In this heartfelt, fire-filled conversation, Sandy sits down with powerhouse entrepreneur Ivy Vander Veldt, the visionary behind Empowering a Billion Women. From her divine calling to her weekend with Oprah (yes, that Oprah), Ivy opens up about walking in faith, redefining wealth, and saying “why not?” to the biggest dreams of your life.

This episode will leave you laughing, crying, and probably reworking your vision board—with lipstick on and your shoulders back. Sandy and Ivy don’t just talk about success; they unpack what it means to own your worth, especially when the world tells you it’s too late or too lofty.

What if saying yes could change your life? In this conversation, Sandy sits down with the magnetic Christina Vidovich—former dance studio owner turned podcasting powerhouse—to talk about what it really means for women to get visible.

From running “Two Left Feet” to launching Women Getting Visible and hosting her first conference, Christina shares how trust, confidence, and a dash of alter-ego magic (hello, Sylvia Torstein!) transformed her path. Together, Sandy and Christina explore how midlife visibility isn’t about reinvention—it’s about returning to the star of the life you used to lead… and stepping back into the spotlight, rhinestone sneakers and all.

It’s equal parts pep talk and permission slip. Lipstick on, shoulders back—this one’s a whole vibe.

Think of Lin as your Pattern Breaker and Super Connector. She teaches a powerful method called Reset-it, based in neuroscience and quantum physics, that helps people identify and release the subconscious patterns holding them back—fast. Most of us are running on programming that isn’t even ours, and Reset-it helps change that.

She co-leads three community-based projects:

Feeling sidelined? Here's How to Get Back in the Game!

This soulful yet sparkly episode is your wake-up call.

I’m sitting down with Gabriella Cody — military veteran, wedding-planner-turned-CrossFit-coach, and living proof that reinvention doesn’t have an age limit. At 200 pounds and facing health issues, Gabriella decided to stop sleepwalking and start living. She immersed herself in fitness, became a trainer, and at 56 became a CrossFit coach.

We talk about:

• How to break out of autopilot and reclaim your center stage
• Why community and belonging are essential for real change
• How to measure progress so you stay motivated
• The mindset shift that makes reinvention possible

If you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or like your best days are behind you, this episode will inspire you to pick up your glitter and start again.

The Un-Fancy Struggle & The Magical PauseAlright, gorgeous humans—let’s drop the act and get real messy. This episode? It isn’t about tidy answers or silver linings. It’s about sitting in the mud with your mascara running and saying, “Yep, this is me. And I’m still standing. And maybe—just maybe—I’m sparkling.”

We’re joined by the brilliantly bold Rhona McBain—yes, that Rhona. Artist, keynote speaker, resilience coach, and the woman who literally wrote the playbook on creating magic out of mayhem (hello, Creative Resilience Framework™!). She’s survived double heartbreak—losing both her husband and mom—in a way that makes you want to send her a casserole and ask her to be your life coach.

In this episode, we pull back the curtain on:

• Why a pause isn’t laziness—it’s a freakin’ power move.
• How beauty rituals and putting on lipstick can be holy ground, not just pageant prep for the patriarchy.
• The secret sauce of resilience isn’t found in a new car, a smaller dress size, or even a hot date (though honestly, we’re open to all three). It’s the courage to look inward before you run outward.
• How to rock the “liminal space”—that awkward, what-the-hell stage between heartache and hope.

Here’s the dead-honest truth: Every choice you make is a shot at reinventing yourself. So go ahead, wear the leopard print, cry in the shower, say “yes” to joy even when grief is whispering it’s too soon. Stopping to feel is the bravest, messiest, most badass thing you can do.

This episode is your official permission slip to quit fixing, start feeling, and show up as your full, loud, glitter-bomb self. 💋

Perfect for you if:

• You want honesty spiked with hope
• You’re craving community that laughs, cries, and occasionally curses together
• You’re ready to trade “fine” for “fabulous, with a side of hot mess”
•

What if you sold everything, packed a single backpack, and bought a one-way ticket to Costa Rica at 53 years old? That’s exactly what Rhonda Taylor did—and her story will leave you grabbing your passport (or at least rethinking what’s possible in your own midlife).

In this episode of Invisible Glitter, I sit down with Rhonda from Midlife Rendezvous to unpack the real (and often messy) story of trading “shoulds” for adventure. From scorpion stings to guardian angels at bus stations, Rhonda shares how she ditched society’s script and wrote her own bold, barefoot, pet-sitting-around-the-world kind of life. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t about having it all figured out—it was about trusting the next step.
