You didn’t imagine it.Something inside you already recognised it.
📖 Full Description
The feeling arrives before the explanation.A pause in the body.A reaction without logic.A knowing that forms before language can reach it.
The moment is quiet.The signal is not.
That’s intuition.
Not an idea.Not a belief.An intelligence already active—quietly shaping your direction while you were busy looking elsewhere.
Most people are taught to override it early. To prioritise proof. To wait for permission. To mistake disconnection for discipline. Over time, they lose trust in the very system designed to guide them.
This week, on the You Are Not Invisible After 50 podcast, I sit down with Susan King—our 100th female guest. A milestone AND a guest with a special gift.
Susan is well-known around the globe as a Master Intuitive Counsellor, Spiritual Teacher, Emotional Healer, and Meditation Instructor. She is sought out by those navigating chaos, confusion, and major life transitions—people who need clarity when certainty is unavailable. She doesn’t analyse your life—she sees it.
Her authority didn’t appear overnight.
Over the years, Susan’s work has surfaced everywhere intuition refuses to be dismissed—across international publications, radio, and television. She has hosted her own UK show, Sixth Sense, written as a columnist for Elle Canadaand Marie Claire, and appeared across global media platforms in the UK, US, Monaco, Japan, and Singapore. Her insights have been featured in the Los Angeles Times, Wall Street Journal, Guardian, Telegraph, CNN, and Oprah—not as novelty, but as relevance.
Her work lives at the highest levels of wellness and influence—supporting institutions and environments where discernment matters. From leading wellness centres and luxury spas in New York, Miami, London, Los Angeles, Singapore, and across Asia, to long-standing collaborations within the global spa and wellness community, Susan works where clarity must be real—not theoretical.
Her impact has also been recognised personally.
Susan’s guidance has earned global respect and endorsement from leaders who understand intuition as strategy—not sentiment. For over a decade, her insight has shaped decisions with lasting personal and professional consequence for those operating at the highest levels.
In this episode, Susan talks about her lifelong intuitive abilities that began in childhood which later evolved after a car accident at 25, her journey from a corporate career in pharmaceutical sales to later becoming a full-time intuitive, her devastating loss of her husband at 50, and how we should all become “more like water.”
For those who feel something already moving beneath the surface.For those who sense alignment before understanding.For those who know the answer arrived first.
You won’t leave this episode feeling finished.You’ll leave feeling alert.
Because once intuition is seen—it doesn’t go back to being quiet.

Every transaction tells a story—most people never see the ending.
For Jo Scalpello, three decades inside global brands revealed a truth hiding in plain sight.
📖 Full Description
The moment is almost invisible.
A screen glows. A price flashes. A button waits.
The transaction is seamless.
The danger is not.
Behind the polished interfaces of modern e-commerce, legitimate businesses and fraudulent operations now look identical to the untrained eye. Deceptive retailers thrive in plain sight, while accountability struggles to keep pace with innovation.
For consumers, the consequences are deeply personal—lost money, stolen data, broken trust. And for institutions, the risks are often externalised.
But for Jo Scalpello, the cost was personal—and a solution had to be engineered.
After a 30-year career leading growth and transformation across entertainment marketing, franchising, and e-commerce, Jo stepped beyond observation and into action. As Founder and CEO of Retail Checker Ltd, she deliberately built a digital verification tool designed to validate online retailers and reduce consumer exposure before money changes hands.
In this episode, Jo divulges all about her remarkable career spanning three decades across iconic brands including Playstation and Nike, her unexpected redundancy that led to open doors that she wouldn’t have discovered otherwise, how being scammed purchasing shoes from a fraudulent online retailer led to the birth of Retail Checker, and how one should always adopt the mindset that the “world is conspiring to help you, not against you.”
This is not just a story about e-commerce.
It’s about experience sharpening instinct.
• Vigilance is learned.
• Women over 50 know the difference.

She learned to hold a pose long before she learned to hold herself.
Now, decades later, Tera O’Hara is modelling with silver hair, untamed truth, and a story that refuses to stay behind the lens.
📖 Full Description
What happens when a woman shaped by shadows decides to step into her own light?
Tera O’Hara entered the modelling world at eighteen, already carrying the fractures of a childhood marked by turbulence, silence, and a relentless fight for self-worth. The fashion industry praised her beauty, but behind every flawless pose was a girl still trying to outrun the echoes of her past.
The woman she would become was forged far from the runway or the lights.
Her transformation happened in the shadows she was brave enough to enter: the inner work, the ancestral unravelling, the profound healing cultivated through yoga, the grit of homesteading, the vulnerability of poetry and art, and the ancient medicine traditions of plants and amphibians. Tera travelled into the deepest layers of her lineage—unravelling generational pain, rewriting inherited stories, and reclaiming the parts of herself that were never meant to be lost.
Each practice cracked her open, offering not glamour but truth. Not perfection, but power. She didn’t just rebuild herself—she rewrote the narrative of those who came before her and those who will follow.
In this open and honest episode, Tera dives into breaking the cycle of toxic family patterns, her multi-layered healing journey through psychotherapy and plant medicine, and her shift from being invisibly undervalued to becoming visible and relevant in her 50s—both in the modelling industry and within herself.
Tera’s evolution is not a fashion story.
It’s the anatomy of awakening.
A descent into shadow.
A rise into light.
A powerful reminder that the most unforgettable transformations happen after the world stops watching—and the soul starts speaking.
Now in her 50s, as a silver-haired model and mother, she stands with a presence carved from lived experience—a beauty sharpened by resilience, softened by grace, and illuminated by self-understanding. She embodies the kind of womanhood that refuses to disappear.

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.

She spent decades chasing the world’s biggest headlines. Now, Hema Easley helps women rewrite their own.
Because real love isn’t a mystery — it’s a pattern.
Full Description:
For 25 years, Hema Easley chased truth as a journalist — from war zones to political upheaval. But the biggest shift came off the record, when she fell in love across race, culture and language, and made it work. Nearly 30 years later, she’s still in that partnership — and helping other women find love that actually lasts.
Now the founder of SoulSynq, Hema is a relationship coach with a clear message: love isn’t random, it’s patterned. Her work blends ancient wisdom with real-world clarity, helping women cut through chaos, spot emotional blind spots, and build connection from a place of power — not fantasy.
In this episode, Hema chats about her roots in journalism, the love story between her and husband, Thomas, the by-product effects of dating apps, and the importance of staying curious.
Because lasting love isn’t built on luck. It’s built on truth.

She doesn’t believe in band-aids. She believes in answers.
Dr Sarah Myhill’s mission? Help people reclaim their health — and their power.
Full Description:
Dr Sarah Myhill has never played by the rules — unless she’s rewriting them.
For over four decades, she’s challenged the status quo of conventional medicine, asking better questions and demanding real answers. Her work in chronic fatigue and ecological medicine has helped thousands trace their symptoms back to source — and take back control of their lives.
In a system slow to change, she moved fast. As the most investigated doctor in the history of the UK’s General Medical Council — 38 times, all cleared — she never backed down. Her critics weren’t her patients. They were the gatekeepers she refused to wait on.
Now, through bestselling books and her own clinical practice, Dr Myhill gives people what she calls “the Rules of the Game and the Tools of the Trade” — practical, radical knowledge that puts health back in your hands.
In this episode, she shares all about the journey behind her rebellion, the benefits of fasting, and how discipline around diet and exercise can serve you well in the long run.

Everything started in that kitchen - from memory to masala.
Now, her stories simmer with spice, memory, and the women who raised her.
Full Description:
Before she was The Authentic Punjabee, she was a daughter in Southall — raised in the hum of pressure cookers and the softness of women who measured nothing, yet gave everything.
In this deeply nostalgic and powerfully tender episode, Bee reflects on growing up in a Punjabi home, where food was a memory, a means of survival, and a ceremony. Where Green Shield stamps were saved beside spice tins, and identity was shaped as much by what was lost as by what was passed down.
In this rich and moving conversation, she shares how growing up as the daughter of immigrants shaped everything — from her career as a high-powered Executive Assistant to her unexpected path as a beloved food storyteller. Her debut book, Butter Chicken & Green Shield Stamps, is more than a cookbook — it’s a personal archive of flavour, family, and the unmeasured magic passed between generations.
In this episode, Baljinder dives deep into how she got her start with cooking, explores the changing role of grandmothers, and reveals how her third act is not the end of her life but rather a powerful new beginning.

She crushed corporate life. Conquered endurance. But midlife demanded a different kind of strength.
Now, Deborah Moore is helping women rebuild from the inside out — one habit, one barbell, one breakthrough at a time.
Full Description:
What happens when everything you’ve built — the career, the accolades, the physical feats — no longer feels like enough? For Deborah Moore, that moment came after decades of thriving in high-pressure boardrooms and pushing her body to its limit as an amateur Ironman triathlete.
At 50, she didn’t want to just endure anymore — she wanted to feel powerful. That journey led her to CrossFit, but what she discovered went far beyond fitness. Strength became her rebellion. Her reinvention. And eventually, her purpose.
Now 55, Deborah is the founder of STRONGR Movementand a midlife coach on a mission to help women break free from burnout, build healthy habits, and become the strongest version of themselves — physically, emotionally, and mentally.
In this episode, she shares valuable insights into how she got started with her health and wellness journey, the importance of eating mindfully, and how the best word in the English language is ‘yet’.

She walked away from modelling in her 20s — and came back at 45, silver-haired and stronger than ever.
Today, Lori Dawnolyn is rewriting the rules of beauty, age, and second acts.
Full Description:
Lori Dawnolyn’s life is a masterclass in resilience and reinvention. In the 1990s, she graced print campaigns, only to step away to raise her two children and travel across Canada as a military spouse. For two decades, the spotlight faded — but her story was far from over.
At 45, Lori returned to the modelling world as a proud 50+ Model, Commercial Actor, Grey Hair Influencer, Speaker, and Mid-Life Voice, and the industry embraced. She’s now appeared in more than 40 national and international campaigns, is a regular on Toronto's Breakfast Television, and uses her platform to champion age positivity, authentic representation, and her Mi’kmaq and European heritage.
In this episode, Lori speaks about her life as a military wife and mother, her thriving modelling career, and how life should always be intended to be fun. Lori’s message is simple but bold. When you’re over 50, your beauty doesn’t fade — it evolves.

She refused to be confined, crafting a life as vast as the oceans she now paints. At 71, Brenda Malley's story is a testament to the elemental force of discovery.
Before the adventures. Before the seascapes and gallery exhibitions. Brenda Malley was restless.
At 24, she traded academic halls for airplane aisles, becoming an Aer Lingus hostess in 1977. For nine years, she didn't just travel — she confronted horizons. Solo treks to Everest base camp, battling dysentery in Nepal, cycling New Zealand for three months, running marathons from Central Park to Irish mountains. Each experience etched deeper lines of resilience into a spirit that refused stillness.
Love found its anchor on a 1984 transatlantic flight where she met Michael, beginning a four-decade marriage. Their life unfolded in constant motion — Dallas, Raleigh, Dublin, France — each relocation demanding profound adaptability. This forged her philosophy: "Ask what makes your heart sing, and go do that."
But her truest expression remained elusive until two decades ago, during a solitary week on Ireland's western coast. With palette knife in hand, she experienced a transformative breakthrough — channelling the ocean's untamed power and her own adventurous spirit onto canvas.
Now, at 71, from her Wicklow farm studio, she's preparing for a solo exhibition this October.
With this episode diving deep into Brenda’s story including her time as an air hostess, the beauty of art, and how the worst experiences make up the best stories, listen to an unflinching journey into a soul that found its truest expression in the wild currents of life and the infinite, ever-changing horizon of the sea's truth.
