Dr. Streicher’s Inside Information: Menopause, Midlife, and More

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


Listen Later

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….  
  •                                                        Jill Wine-Banks
