If you’ve ever been told you’re ‘too old,’ this episode is your revenge.

Ever seen a grandmother drag stereotypes to the gym—and leave them there?

📖 Full Description

At 79 years old—Singaporean grandmother, retired anthropologist, and accidental global fitness icon—Charlotte Lim stepped into the weight room at an age when most people are told to slow down. A barbell. A pull-up bar. A body the world assumed was too old to begin. A life that quietly insisted otherwise.

This isn’t just a story about muscles and medals.

It’s the slow, powerful unlearning of every limitation ever imposed on age, womanhood, and the body.

It’s the rise of a woman who discovered that strength doesn’t diminish with time—it compounds.

Fuelled by her no-SoAP diet

(no Sugar, no Oil, no Additives, no Processed foods),

powered by her FitFam, @fitrx_singapore @coachwhy_yan

and amplified by thousands on Instagram @pullup_grandma,

She has become the internet’s most dangerous kind of woman:

An older woman who knows her power.

This episode isn’t just inspiring.

It’s disruptive.

It’s confrontational.

It’s a masterclass in defying every narrative fed to women about their bodies, their timelines, their worth, and what “old” is supposed to look like.

In this electric episode, Charlotte shares all about her journey rising from poverty through education and perseverance, how she made the switch from the corporate world and found her calling in humanitarian mission work, how starting at 72 made her fitness icon at nearly 80, and how age is no barrier to meaningful contribution, personal development., and realising the quiet, poignant truth beneath her bravado: it’s never too late to feel proud of your body.

This isn’t a tale of anti-ageing.

It’s a story about rewriting expectations—rep by rep, race by race, year by year—until the world can no longer pretend not to see what older women are capable of.

Ever chased a fairytale so bright it blinded you?

Ever trusted a promise so deeply you crossed an ocean for it?

📖 Full Description 

Christina Ford did—award-winning producer, cultural force, and mother of two—who stepped into what looked like her own Austen-worthy beginning. A woman. A man. A whispered promise across continents. A life left behind for love, London, and the shimmering myth of happily-ever-after.

But even the brightest stories cast shadows.

And when hers finally cracked open, she found herself standing alone in the ruins—unmasked, undone, and more awake than she had ever been.

That’s when the real metamorphosis began.

Not quietly. Not politely.

Christina didn’t just survive the heartbreak that tried to reshape her — she weaponised it.

She turned devastation into language, reinvention into art, and her unfiltered truth into A Broad in London, the beloved blog where she wrote her way out of the dark and into a life reclaimed fiercely on her own terms.

In this scintillating episode, Christina—award-winning producer, BBC Radio London commentator, and author of the seven-time award-winning memoir In Search of Mr Darcy: Lessons Learnt in the Pursuit of Happily Ever After—talks about:

✨ transforming betrayal into creative power

✨the lessons learned from difficult romantic relationships

✨the power of female friendships and sisterhood 

✨celebrating this stage of her life as a time to be selfish, prioritise herself, and enjoy what matters most  

This isn’t a tale of collapse.

It’s the reckoning that follows—

The moment a woman steps out of the ashes wearing her own crown and refuses to apologise for the shine.

This is a different conversation—one built for a different world, a must-listen for anyone who feels the ground shifting beneath them.Caroline Stokes calls out the truth: the old way of leading is over as we race toward 2030.

📖 Full Description

The pace of change has never been sharper — and Caroline Stokes is one of the rare voices naming exactly what today’s leaders are facing.

Shortlisted for the Thinkers50 Leadership Award less than 65 days after launching her book AfterShock to 2030, Caroline caught global attention because her message speaks directly to this moment.AI is accelerating. The climate is destabilizing. Old systems are cracking. “Wait and see” is no longer leadership — it’s a liability.

Her work sits at the center of Thinkers50’s theme: Regeneration.In AfterShock to 2030 and her podcast AfterShock: Leadership for the Fifth Industrial Revolution, she explains why reinvention — personal, organizational, and societal — is now the baseline for modern leadership.

In this episode, Caroline shares her journey on her multiple career pivots, the urgency of climate, AI, and societal change, the importance of how leaders can shift their mindset by simply listening, and celebrating the joy of many voices.

This episode speaks directly to people who feel the pressure rising and know the world won’t slow down for them.

It’s sharp, grounded, and built for leaders who understand the future is already here — and the time to evolve is now.

One woman. One notebook. A legacy born in her Abuela’skitchen.

Now, Yvette Marquez is bringing Mexican heritage to the global stage—one dish at a time.

📖 Full Description:

This isn’t just a food story. It’s a reclamation.

Of culture. Of memory. Of the women who cooked without cookbooks, but with heart.

Before Yvette Marquez became an award-winning author and culinary entrepreneur, she was a granddaughter with a pen—scribbling down her Abuela’s recipes before they faded into silence. That act of preservation sparked Muy Bueno—now a powerful brand blending food, family, and storytelling with cultural pride.

From El Paso to Colorado, from kitchen counters to national headlines (The New York Times, TODAY, Food Network), Yvette has stayed rooted in her mission: to honour the women who came before her—and ensure their stories are never lost.

In this deeply personal episode, Yvette discusses preserving her grandmother’s legacy, how her first family cookbook evolved into a thriving business, and why building strong relationships matters.

She left Jamaica as a girl — but the island never let her go.

What she left behind became the story she was destined to tell.

Full Description

At fourteen, she crossed the sea from St. Elizabeth, Jamaica, to the UK — a girl between worlds, carrying stories too heavy for her suitcase.

Decades later, those memories surfaced in her debut novel, The Day I Fell Off My Island (Penguin, 2021) — a haunting and powerful portrait of migration, resilience, and the quiet courage it takes to build a life far from home.

Shortlisted for The Author’s Club Best First Novel, The Paul Torday Award, The RSL Christopher Bland Prize, and The Diverse Book Award, Yvonne Bailey-Smith’s work captures the pulse of displacement — the ache of leaving, the necessity of reinvention, and the endurance of belonging.

But her story doesn’t end on the page.

It continues through her children — literary icon Zadie Smith, comedian and actor Ben Bailey Smith (Doc Brown), and rapper Luc Skyz — each carrying a fragment of her fire across page, stage, and song.

In this episode Yvonne dives into trauma blocking her journey from her much-missed Jamaica to England as a young girl, her career transition from NHS psychotherapist to writer, how an impulsive purchase of land that led to a dramatic death threat was her trigger point at 50, and that anyone can be fabulous at any age. 

This conversation reaches beyond writing.

It’s about heritage, identity, and the stories that still breathe beneath the surface — the ones that never fade.

At fifty, she stepped into the ocean.

When she surfaced, she wasn’t who she’d been before.

🌊 Full Description:

For Inessa Love, surfing wasn’t about chasing youth — it was about finding her rhythm again.

What began as one surf lesson became a quiet rebellion. One wave led to another, until the sea became both her classroom, her mirror, and a place of transformation.

A professor at the University of Hawaii, Inessa teaches The Economics of Happiness and has spent years studying the science of joy. But it was the ocean that taught her what no data could: that purpose, power, and pleasure aren’t lost with age — they’re reborn in motion.

As co-founder of @SassySilverSurfers — a thriving community on Facebook and Instagram — she’s inspiring thousands of women to reclaim strength, adventure, and play beyond midlife. Her work explores how courage, curiosity, and saltwater can rebuild not just the body, but the spirit.

In this episode, Inessa takes us beneath the surface as she dives deep into finding the joy in surfing and other forms of physical activity, manifesting her move to Hawaii, and the importance of female community. 

Her upcoming books explore the transformational power of surfing for women over 50, as well as a memoir about her 250-mile cycling odyssey along the Pacific coast — a journey of endurance, freedom, and fierce self-discovery.

This is a conversation about movement, surrender, and the wild joy of starting over.

A body unravelled by medicine.

A woman rebuilt by the wild intelligence of nature.

Full Description:

Philly J Lay’s life changed after a routine medical procedure went wrong.

Years of physical pain, PTSD, and dependence on medication and alcohol followed. As her health declined, so did her trust in the systems designed to protect her.

When every external answer failed, she turned to the only source left — her own body. Through breathwork, energy practices, and natural medicine, she began to rebuild her health from the inside out.

Now the host of The Wellness Way with Philly J Lay — a globally ranked podcast — and author of The Natural Wellness Journal and The Wellness Way: Your Natural Health Systems, Philly speaks openly about what happens when you stop outsourcing your healing and start owning it.

In this episode, Philly takes us on a deep dive into her younger years in her chaotic but loving family, how her traumatic health journey led her to natural medicine, and the importance of listening to one’s gut. 

This isn’t a story about recovery.

It’s about the moment you decide to begin again.

She thought she knew cancer—until it was her diagnosis.Dr. Liz O’Riordan’s life changed in an instant, and so did her mission.

Full Description:

Dr. Liz O’Riordan knew cancer. She’d spent years standing in operating theatres, guiding women through the darkest chapters of their lives. But nothing prepared her for the day she became the patient.

Diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer at just 40, Liz’s world collapsed. Not once—but twice more. And when side effects forced her to give up the job she loved, she was left with a question far more terrifying than cancer itself: Who am I now?

This episode is not just about illness—it’s about identity, loss, reinvention, and the radical courage to speak truth to a system that often silences the very people it serves.

Today, Liz is a powerful voice in the world of cancer care. She’s the author of The Complete Guide to Breast Cancer, the memoir Under the Knife, and the new myth-busting book The Cancer Roadmap. She hosts the podcast Don’t Ignore the Elephant, and creates honest, evidence-based content for her 100K+ followers—fighting misinformation and bringing light to the emotional and clinical realities of life after diagnosis.

In this deeply human conversation, Dr. Liz talks about how her parents’ medical careers inspired her interest in the field, why her own mental health struggles are not a weakness, how saying “no” is a full sentence, and what it’s like to lose everything you thought defined you—only to discover something meaningful in its place. Because sometimes, the real story doesn’t begin until the scalpel’s turned inward..

Two sisters: They’ve shared a womb, a bond, and now—a mission.

To blow up everything you’ve been told about ageing.

Full Description:

What happens when two identical twins hit their 60s and decide the world’s story about ageing women is dead wrong?

You get Twinagers—a mission, a platform, a rally cry.

Cynthia Heyd and Leslie White grew up side by side but carved radically different paths—Cynthia dominated the world of advertising, while Leslie mastered leadership in finance. One retired early. The other still runs her own company. Their stories diverge—but their purpose is united.

Together, they’ve built Twinagers to demolish outdated narratives of invisibility, decline, and irrelevance that cling to women over 50. In this episode, they unpack their personal journeys, call out ageism in modern culture, and share why now is the time for women to own their age—not apologise for it.

This is a bold, no-holds-barred conversation about midlife as a launchpad—not a landing strip.

She smoked weed daily for five decades — and dared to say it out loud.Author Catherine Hiller takes us into a life of rebellion, reinvention, and radical joy.

📖 Full Description:

This isn’t a story about growing older quietly.It’s about turning up the volume — on your voice, your pleasure, your power.

Catherine Hiller doesn’t just push boundaries — she rewrites them. At 77, this author, filmmaker, activist, and unapologetic pleasure-seeker is still raising eyebrows... and raising the bar.

She smoked cannabis every day for five decades — and told the world. Her memoir Just Say Yes made headlines and inspired women everywhere to reclaim their truth. But Catherine’s story doesn’t stop at pot.

She’s also the brilliant mind behind Cybill Unbound — a bold novel about late-life sexual awakening. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, Penthouse, Ms., and AARP. She’s made films, marched against pipelines, raised three children, and even won a poetry prize for a piece she wrote 50 years ago and never submitted — until now.

In this unfiltered, unforgettable conversation, Catherine shares how her unconventional upbringing shaped her bon vivant nature, reveals her cheeky takes on sex and marijuana, and makes a case for always trying something new — not just the fish!

🎧 Listen to S9E8 — "Still Here, Still High" now on Spotify, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts.

This episode isn’t safe, sanitised, or polite.It’s wild, witty, and radically free — just like Catherine.
