She\u2019s Over 50 and Still in the Game!)","description":" Some people do their best thinking on a walk. Me? I do my best thinking in the shower.   So I was thinking in the shower about how \u201cThe Most Interesting Man in the World\u201d is back \u2014 yes, that guy, Jonathan Goldsmith, returning as the Dos Equis spokesperson after a ten-year hiatus, now with a funny \u201camnesia\u201d twist and a whole lot of nostalgia. And while I do appreciate a sexy, wise older gentleman with an open collar and a \u201cstay thirsty, my friends\u201d vibe, my shower thoughts flowed to this thought: \u201cOkay\u2026 but where is the campaign for \u201cThe Most Interesting WOMAN in the World?" Who the heck is SHE?  Because if we\u2019re being honest, she\u2019s probably not lounging around with a beer plotting her next adventure. She may be plotting but she\u2019s got a \u2018sh*tload of things to finish first before cracking open a beer or pouring a glass of wine or doing whatever relaxes her. So WHO IS SHE? By Jove I thought to myself, \u201cThe Most Interesting WOMAN in the World\u201d is\u2026 WE!   WE meaning  \u2013 all the women over 50 (and there are plenty I tell ya!) with wisdom, passion and purpose \u2014out there in the world 'still in the game', who\u2019ve been there, done that, \u2013 and are still swinging against all odds most days. I was thinking, SHE likely has wrinkles, uses reading glasses, has a very busy brain, likely has a demanding job or business or demanding caretaking obligation. And most likely has a huge heart that still puts everyone else first. Hmmm. Sounds a lot like me. Sound like you? Or someone you know?  Oh - and she buys a boatload of stuff. Like Me. "The Most Interesting Woman in the World". Hmmm.  She\u2019s the woman who: might not have a giant social media following\u2026 but has massive word-of-mouth power buys everything for everybody (herself, the household, the kids, the grandkids, the nieces, the nephews\u2026 and probably the neighbor) is old-school but open to new things (especially if they promise better health, more energy, fewer annoyances or promise to make her look younger.) \u201cThe Most Interesting WOMAN in the World\u201d Takes Risks!  Yes, she does! So who am I not to? Especially since I\u2019m the one always pushing others to: \u201cRisk It! or Regret It! I decided to RISK turning on my phone camera to record an opening segment of my radio show on 'video' as well as audio, so you could SEE what you usually don\u2019t when I do my live radio show. Yup, you can see how I talk with my hands and see the products I brought in from my house for \u2018show and tell\u2019 on the air that day. It was not a comfortable decision. I've been avoiding video. I do not love my looks these days, but I did it. And now I\u2019m cool because I created a live radio show, that\u2019s partially on video, that\u2019s also a podcast, and has been turned into short media clips for other social media channels to drive back to the full video opening of my radio show on You Tube, that may encourage people to go and listen to the rest of the audio of my podcast - and maybe tune in live to the radio show. Full disclosure: All this effort did not burn a calorie. The live radio show is easy. I\u2019ve been doing live radio so long I could do it in my sleep. It\u2019s all the other new pieces of the media pie - the audio \/podcast \/video\/blog \/social media puzzle, that takes quite an effort. I\u2019ll tell ya this much. AI filters are much cheaper than Botox, and figuring all this out was mentally exhausting. HOWEVER! \u201cWE\u2026 \u201cThe Most Interesting Women In the World\u201d  cannot stay interesting\u2026 if we do not embrace new knowledge and take new risks! Ok so \u2026For fun I brought some products from my house to the radio studio that \u201cThe Most Interesting WOMAN in the World\u201d might own for \u2018show and tell\u2019.   Centrum Women 50+ MultiGummy (because we\u2019re doing our best to not fall apart like cheap patio furniture) Saline nasal spray (a product we somehow didn\u2019t grow up with but now feels like a household essential. Who knew. Right?) Lume deodorant 72-hour protection! (Once I got past the initial awkward TV commercial with the Founder focusing on where else this stuff can make me smell nice - I decided to just get on board for the 72 hours under my arms so I\u2019d have one less thing to worry about - just in case I forgot.) A gadgety little YCZ Electric Massage Pro eye tool my daughter politely gave me as a gift to try and HELP me. (warm, glowy, red light-ish\u2026 fine fine we\u2019re trying new things!) Costco Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil (because it\u2019s a BIG bottle of quality olive oil that tastes great straight from my peeps back in Italy at a great price. If I\u2019m going to \u201cdo better,\u201d I want food that tastes like it loves me back) Morning Kick by Chuck Norris (I took his quiz, got labeled a \u201crapid ager,\u201d and immediately decided I need Chuck to back me freakin up. I\u2019m testing it and kinda love it) Also, because of the nonstop flow of information these days I always come across a lot of \u2018who knew\u2019 stuff I find out that I want to share. Like that dry roasted peanuts build your telomeres. Yup. Short telomeres equal short life. So, I stole my Dave\u2019s peanuts for show and tell. He now brags he\u2019s younger because he eats them, and now I have to eat them just to have my telomeres catch up. (I tell ya being interesting is a nonstop sport.) And because "The Most Interesting Woman in the World" is also likely starting to blow some body parts\u2026 I showed off a flyer featuring that great gal Evelyn the physical therapist from ProClinix who\u2019s been workin\u2019 on me helping to get me get back in the game! (which starts with me getting on and off the table). And because "The Most Interesting Woman in the World" also wants to have as much fun as possible before she\u2019s dead\u2026 I also discussed just how many companies are pitching me to come have fun with them. Like the  Royal Caribbean cruise line that begs me by email almost daily to sail away with them again, and again, and again. YES, YES,  "The Most Interesting Woman in the World" \u2013 The collective \u2018WE\u2019 \u2013 want to have more FUN!   We\u2019re open. Where are we going?  We\u2019re IN! Just can\u2019t be the same day we\u2019re already booked. Like on a day we have a Dr. or dentist appointment or are taking someone else to a Dr. or a dentist appt. Can\u2019t be on a day when a plumber is coming to the house or on a day when we have an appointment, meeting, a zoom, going to a kids sports event or when we\u2019re babysitting. Oh, or when we\u2019ve got a hair appt. And it can\u2019t be anything that starts too late at night or requires us to drive far in bad weather.   Other than we\u2019re free. LOL   Here\u2019s what I touched on the rest of the show The \u201canti-marketing\u201d protein bar that\u2019s winning the protein wars is simply DAVID and why some brands win without screaming. Apparently, a protein bar called David is crushing it, partly because it\u2019s doing the opposite of what every loud, neon, influencer-filled protein brand is doing. Simple subway ads. Tons of white space. A sleek package. No drama. And the numbers? Wild. The brand\u2019s buzz has been building like a cult favorite, with big fundraising and serious sales projections. I first tasted them at a National Women\u2019s Pickleball Foundation event and immediately understood the strategy: get it in people\u2019s mouths first \u2014 then they\u2019ll come looking for it later. (That\u2019s marketing.) Then I found our there\u2019s a New personality label: \u201cOtrovert\u201d  \u201cWait\u2026 is that me?\u201d Otrovert (from \u201cotro,\u201d meaning \u201cother\u201d) is basically someone who can look extroverted and function socially just fine\u2026but actually recharges best alone or in quieter settings. Observant, sensitive to group dynamics, craving real connection\u2026 and sometimes leaving a room feeling oddly separate. The takeaway? Pressure\u2019s off. You\u2019re allowed to be social AND need silence. You\u2019re allowed to shine AND need downtime. Be who you are. (I support this message.) Divorce rings are a thing (and yes, I have thoughts) And then\u2014because my brain is a pinball machine\u2014we hit a British Vogue trend: divorce ring parties. Women re-setting stones from old engagement rings into new jewelry to mark a fresh chapter. It\u2019s community, champagne, and a little \u201cwe\u2019re going to be okay.\u201d Whenever I speak of divorce, I always like to point out that divorce is painful. A broken dream. No matter who\u2019s fault it is. Even when it\u2019s necessary, it has a long emotional tail. So, if you\u2019re in that chapter: I hope you find your next \u201chappily ever after,\u201d whatever that looks like. Also: Walking sharks. That\u2019s it. That\u2019s the sentence. ScienceDaily had me staring into the void with this headline: walking sharks that apparently break rules of reproduction without a measurable increase in energy use. Do I need this information? No. Did I share it anyway? Absolutely. Because that\u2019s what I do. Discover stuff and share it. Ozempic marketing, sweatpants history, and the courage to turn on the camera I also touched on: Novo Nordisk leaning into a \u201cGet a Mac\u201d-style ad throwback to clarify Ozempic\u2019s FDA-approved uses (marketing is getting very nostalgic lately) International Sweatpants Day, and the fact that sweatpants evolved from athletic wear to \u201cI live here now\u201d fashion (and yes, I did also mention the origins) And threading through all of it was my own little \u201cnew era\u201d moment: I turned on a camera in the studio\u2014even though I\u2019m not exactly thrilled about it\u2014because staying relevant means shifting with the times. It means blending wisdom with new tools, learning new stuff, and continuing to show up. Because \u201cThe Most Interesting Woman in the World\u201d isn\u2019t one person. She\u2019s all of us. Especially those of us learning how not to let getting older get in the way of being us.   The Daily Toast (because I always end the show with a little sparkle) I closed with a quote I loved from Dr. Steve Maraboli: \u201cThere is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically herself\u2026\u201d Amen, Dr. Maraboli. And my personal sign-off still stands: \u2018Someday\u2019 Has Arrived\u2026 It\u2019s Time to Roll! Onward!
