Hiya, dollface!

You’re about to meet a woman who’s living proof that you can stare down life’s biggest curveballs and come out more fabulous than ever.

My guest, Dr. Traci Hill, isn’t your average 50-something. She’s a former Chicago firefighter who’s faced heat most of us can’t even imagine and I’m not just talking about flames. When she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, the world told her there was one way forward: daily meds and a lifetime of side effects.

But, toots, Traci doesn’t do “one way forward.” Now armed with a Ph.D in Integrative Medicine, she walked away from the prescriptions, tuned into her own body, and rebuilt her health from the inside out through holistic living, subtle energy work, and sheer, unshakable belief in herself.

In this episode, we spill:
💋 The unfiltered truth about trusting your own intuition over the “experts.”
💋 How to embrace reinvention in your 50s and beyond (with zero apologies).
💋 The life-changing freedom of the “F@&k It” mindset.
💋 Why starting over isn’t starting from scratch — it’s starting from experience.

This isn’t just a feel-good story. It’s a full permission slip to stop waiting for “the right time” and start living on your own damn terms.

So grab your drink of choice, settle in, and let Traci’s fire light yours.

Hiya, dollface!

Welcome to the first-ever episode of The Braless Lush, the unapologetic, unfiltered podcast for bold women over 50 who are ready to live their best damn life.

I’m Laura, your Braless Bestie and Unhooked Host, and in this first episode, I’m taking you inside my messy midlife journey that sparked this entire quest for reinvention. I turned 50 in lockdown with hot flashes and all of the "shoulds," and then… I said, “Screw it!”

We’re talking midlife reinvention, menopause, breaking free from the “shoulds,” and what it really means to live a lush life after 50. I’ll share the backstory behind the name, the funny moment with my mom that sparked this whole thing, and why I believe now is the perfect time to start over.

If you’re navigating life after 50, wondering how to reinvent yourself, or just craving some sass, sisterhood, and self-discovery—you’re in the right lounge.

In this episode, we’re diving into:

- What being a Braless Lush really means (hint: it’s deeper than ditching your bra or being inebriated)- How menopause and midlife woke me up- Why it’s never too late to start living lushly- My mission to help women stop shrinking and thinking small
What you can expect each week in the Lush Lounge: If you're a woman navigating midlife reinvention, still figuring it out or just want to feel seen, heard, and slightly buzzed, you’re in the right place.

See you in the Lush Lounge for cocktails or mocktails, conversations, and a whole lot of lush living.
