What if your next chapter was the one that truly defined your legacy?


In this episode of Embrace the Encore, Marie Wallace sits down with visionary entrepreneur Sarah Kugelman, whose career is a masterclass in spotting opportunities and seizing them, regardless of age. Sarah has founded three groundbreaking beauty brands, each aligning with seismic shifts in the industry: Gloss.com, Skin Iceland, and now, All Golden, her mission-driven skincare and haircare line celebrating women over 45.


Sarah opens up about her relentless approach to entrepreneurship, her commitment to combating ageism, and how she is redefining what it means to stay relevant, confident, and daring in your 60s. From raising millions in venture capital to building brands that change cultural conversations, Sarah’s story is proof that reinvention is not just possible, it is powerful.


You will hear why mentorship for women entrepreneurs matters more than ever, and the mindset shifts that make reinvention feel exciting rather than intimidating. She also shares the beauty and wellness practices that keep her feeling her best, along with the strategies she uses to stay focused and manage stress while running a business.
