In this episode of Over 50 and Flourishing, I sit down with Andrea Canning for a conversation about true crime, career resilience, and building a life that doesn’t fit into just one box.

Andrea Canning is an award-winning correspondent for Dateline NBC, where she has spent over a decade covering some of the most compelling and complex true crime stories in America. Beyond Dateline, Andrea is also an accomplished screenwriter, having written more than 30 films for Lifetime and Hallmark, and she’s a mother of six navigating the realities of a demanding career and a full family life.

We talk about when true crime became such a cultural phenomenon, what really goes into putting together a Dateline episode, and the surprising amount of care, time, and collaboration behind each story. Andrea shares what it’s like working in an industry where rejection and setbacks are part of the process, and why her philosophy that “nothing should be beneath you or above you” has shaped her career in powerful ways. She also opens up about her unexpected journey into writing movies, how she built a second creative path from scratch, and what it looks like to pursue new opportunities at any stage of life.

We also dive into motherhood, how she balances raising six kids with a demanding career, the reality of not being able to do everything, and why letting go of perfection has been key.
