How to Live Longer and Better | The Power of Ageless Aging with Maddy Dychtwald

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1957181/fan_mail/new] At Ageless Glamour Girls™, we've long talked about the ageless-aging journey - the idea that growing older isn't about chasing youth, but embracing health, purpose, vitality, and joy at every stage of life. Now, as conversations around longevity and healthy aging continue to grow, we're revisiting this timely discussion with longevity expert and bestselling author Maddy Dychtwald. Women are living longer than ever before. But how do we make those extra years healthier, happier, and more meaningful? In this episode, Maddy explores what it really means to increase not just lifespan, but healthspan and brainspan, too. As co-founder of Age Wave and author of the national bestseller Ageless Aging: A Woman's Guide to Increasing Healthspan, Brainspan, and Lifespan, she shares insights from decades of research on longevity, wellness, brain health, and the future of longer lives. We discuss why women often live longer than men, how to make the most of those added years, and what it takes to age with intention and vitality. Living longer is one thing, but living well is something else entirely.

I Wasn't Behind - I Was Building | A Quick Conversation for Women Over 50

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1957181/fan_mail/new] Remember to give yourself lots of GRACE. In this personal episode of the Ageless Glamour Girls™ Podcast, Marqueeta Curtis-Haynes gets real about something many women over 50 quietly experience - feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and wondering if we're somehow falling behind. After returning from a whirlwind trip to New Orleans to celebrate a family milestone, Marqueeta found herself staring at an ever-growing to-do list and asking a familiar question: "How did I get THIS behind?" But after taking a step back, she realized something powerful. Over the past few months, she had taught herself video editing, continued producing and growing the Ageless Glamour Girls™ Podcast, worked toward launching the AGG Boutique, and continued building toward Volume 2 of Ageless Glamour Girls: Reflections on Aging. Maybe she wasn't behind. Maybe she was building. Along the way, she reflects on comparison culture, social media pressure, second and third acts, reinvention after 50, entrepreneurship, overwhelm, and learning to give ourselves a little more grace while navigating this ageless-aging journey. If you've ever felt behind, stuck, overwhelmed, or wondered if everyone else has life figured out... this episode is for you. CHEERS to Healthy Aging and Joyful Living, Luvvies!

The Hidden Side of Retirement: Identity, Purpose, and Life After the Career Ends

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1957181/fan_mail/new] You can be fully prepared for retirement… and still feel completely unprepared. So why do so many women find themselves feeling uncertain, disconnected, or even a little lost once they finally get there? In this powerful episode of the Ageless Glamour Girls™ Podcast, host Marqueeta Curtis-Haynes sits down with Cheryl Fimbel, author of the new book, The Hidden Side of Retirement: What Nobody Tells You About Identity, Purpose, and Life After Your Career Ends, to explore what really happens after the career ends - especially for women over 50. After a 45-year career in healthcare leadership, Cheryl entered retirement financially prepared… but emotionally unprepared for the shift that followed. In this conversation, she shares what so many women experience but rarely talk about - the loss of structure, identity questions, and unexpected emotional challenges that can arise in the early months of retirement. Together, we dive into the often-overlooked transition period, including the critical first 90 days, why rushing to “reinvent yourself” can backfire, and how to begin rebuilding purpose, routine, and connection in a meaningful way. And yes - we also talk about the beautiful side of retirement: more time with family, freedom of schedule, travel, and the opportunity to create a life that truly feels aligned. If you’re approaching retirement, currently navigating it, or simply thinking about what’s next, this episode offers both truth and encouragement for the journey ahead. WHAT YOU’LL LEARN: * The emotional side of retirement no one prepares you for  *  Why so many women experience identity loss after leaving a long career  *  What really happens during the first 90 days — and why it matters  *  Why feeling lost doesn’t mean you’re broken  *  Practical ways to rebuild identity, structure, and social connection  *  How to create a fulfilling and meaningful life in this next chapter  _________________________ ABOUT OUR GUEST Cheryl Fimbel is the author of The Hidden Side of Retirement: What Nobody Tells You About Identity, Purpose, and Life After Your Career Ends, where she explores the emotional and psychological transition that often follows a long career. Drawing on 45 years of experience in healthcare leadership and organizational change, she brings a unique, structured approach to navigating retirement with clarity and confidence.
