Hello Fabulous!Jen Hardy here. Wow, what a journey it's been! Let me take you back a bit to 2018—a time my doctors believed would be my final year on this beautiful planet. They told me I'd need a ventilator to breathe, basically predicting I'd be walking around with what felt like a giant backpack. Well, guess what? Here I am, breathing and walking on my own, almost hitting 2025! If that's not a miracle, I don't know what is.I figured it was high time I introduced myself properly to my new audience, fans, and friends.

Hello Fabulous!It's Jen, back with another chat with Judge Boyd! And did we cover a lot of ground in this chat - everything from the trials of parenting to the timeless joy of snapping Polaroid pictures!Judge Boyd had us laughing and nodding in agreement as she shared her love for gardening, future travel dreams, and a wish for singing abilities that sadly don't extend past the shower. (I can relate, there's a reason Shower Thoughts are only spoken) But her love for reading and advocating for bringing back good old-fashioned kindness made love her even more.On a more profound note, Judge Boyd's journey through the legal labyrinth was truly inspiring. She spoke candidly about her choice to attend Saint Mary's in San Antonio (despite a tempting offer from Pepperdine) and how her faith guided every pivotal life decision. Judge Boyd Texas is exactly the perfect courtroom for her. Her reflections on representing clients against all odds and maintaining decorum in the courtroom were eye-opening. And she had some fabulous advice for those who need to go to court, be sure to listen and find out!You can also go to jenhardy.net and read along with the transcript
Hello Fabulous!Jen here, and do I have a treat for you today! I just had an absolutely enlightening chat with the fabulous Julie Menanno. If you don't already know her, she's a relationship guru specializing in emotionally focused therapy (EFT), attachment theory, and the fine art of turning relationship chaos into secure love.Discover more at jenhardy.net Julie broke it down for us: Most of her couples—about 90%—fall into this “anxious-avoidant” tango. One partner's basically a golden retriever, desperate for constant affection, while the other is a turtle, retreating into their shell to avoid all that emotional messiness. Sound familiar?Julie also tackled the big, scary jungle that is finding a good therapist. Spoiler alert: It's like hunting for a unicorn. Emotionally focused therapy is where it's at, but mastering it is no small feat. Luckily, Julie's team operates as coaches and tackles issues across state lines (no magic carpet needed).(more "Anxious to Secure Relationship with Julie Menanno continued on JenHardy.net)You can find Julie Menanno and her secure relationship advice in the following places:Julie's Podcast- The Secure Love Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-secure-love-podcast-with-julie-menanno/id1753342452Julie's Nationally Bestselling Book- Secure Love: (US Version) https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Secure-Love/Julie-Menanno/9781668012864(UK Version) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Secure-Love-Create-Relationship-Lifetime/dp/1529902967/?maas=maas_adg_8DB247C73AC7406FC4472B1FB42F4B47_afap_abs&ref_=aa_maas&tag=maasWebsite:https://www.thesecurerelationship.com/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/thesecurerelationship/

Hello Fabulous!Did you know that eating disorders have made a resurgence in people over 40? In this episode, I'm teaming up with the amazing Nicole Christina to dive deep into some real talk about the things that really matter.. We're talking all things body image, guilty pleasures (hello, chocolate!), and why obsessing over diets and dress sizes should be sooo last century. Nicole, who's a psychotherapist and expert in eating disorders, will blow your mind with her insights on finding deep meaning, nurturing a positive relationship with food and your body, and surrounding yourself with positive vibes. Plus, she's got some brilliant recommendations for reading, like Rebecca Scitchfield's "Body Kindness" and the self-compassion movement by Kristin Neff.

If you've ever found yourself wrestling with the high stakes of people-pleasing, marriage, or just living life fabulously after fifty, this episode is for you. I had the absolute joy of chatting with the remarkable Ann Leary, who has managed to pack all these subjects and more into her latest collection of essays, "I've Tried Being Nice." Think you can resist a book with an essay about a passive-aggressive showdown over off-leash dogs? Think again! Ann dives deep into her personal experiences—childhood, marriage, and even her tennis obsession. Spoiler alert: tennis may have saved her marriage, and also might save your next awkwardly long family holiday.We laughed, we nearly cried, and if I'm honest, mostly we laughed. Ann's candidness about her struggles with people-pleasing gave us all the giggles. Who knew that a confrontation over dogs could reveal so much about human nature? And if that's not enough, we touched on the delights of aging, the beauty of Italy, and her hilarious misadventures with ballroom dancing classes alongside her husband, Denis Leary. Yes, there was a Russian dance instructor involved, and yes, it was as entertaining as it sounds. So grab a cup of coffee (or maybe a glass of wine), and tune in to hear Ann's wonderful stories. And don't forget to check out her new book—I promise you, it's a page-turner you won't want to miss!

Hello Fabulous!So, I recently had the absolute delight of sitting down with the one and only Sasha Gray, and let me just say - if joy were a person, it would definitely be her, decked out in glitter, no less! From the moment Sasha flashed that wise and winsome smile of hers, I knew we were in for a treat.First off, can we talk about how the world has become a glitter-bomb of isolation since 2020? Sasha and I dug right into that. It's like one day we're all bopping to mall music and the next, we're mastering the mute button on Zoom calls. Sasha shared her thoughts on how, even though platforms like Zoom and social media live streams have been lifesavers, nothing can truly replace the warmth of human connection. And, do I agree!Now, onto my favorite part - Sasha's Glitter and Grace Club. Yes, it is as fabulous as it sounds. Sasha has created this oasis of girl power where mainly women (and the occasional brave soul of a man) gather to talk about everything from fashion disasters to deep emotional support. And by the way, if you ever see me there, it's probably because I snuck in to sneak some of that glitter!You can hear all about the rest in the episode.Love,JenThank you for joining me today!I'm having a blast creating Fabulous Over 50 & it would be an honor to have you share it with someone who would enjoy it. Thank you! Want more?Find Sasha on her fabulous website: www.scatteredsasha.comYou can go to the website and you'll find many ways to live your best life over 50!I'd love to hear what you think about this episode & what you'd like to hear about in the future.

Hello Fabulous!It's Jen here, and boy, do I have a story for you! Judge Rosie Speedlin Gonzalez is one heck of a rebellious spirit setting the courtroom! And let's just say, she's not your typical judge.First off, Judge Rosie rolls into the frame, and yeah, she sports tattoos. Now, before you go raising eyebrows, know this: each ink on her skin has a story, deeply rooted in connection and memory, especially her bonds with her father. Now that's a family album you can't just flip through! We dove headfirst into the harsh world of modern information access. Picture this: a world where kids wield smartphones like they're extensions of their hands. Judge Rosie, laying down the law as she does best, campaigned for no phones till kids hit sixteen. Stern? Maybe. Wise? Definitely.Her court isn't the usual "all rise, all sit, judgment passed, go home."Imagine a place where instead of the doom of the gavel, you get a path paved towards real change. Bexar County's specialty courts have been her stage, directing spotlights on drug treatment and addiction—issues that hit hard and ruin silently. Under her guidance, 27 out of 28 graduates stayed on the straight and narrow. If that's not winning, I don't know what is!From discussing tech's role in transparency to sporting a pride flag as a beacon of equality in San Antonio, Judge Rosie doesn't just push boundaries—she redraws them. She's faced down disciplinary actions for her support of the LGBTQ+ community, an ordeal that only steeled her resolve. That pride flag now sits right outside her chambers, a testament to her fight and identity.Cheers to our robed rebel, and to all of us living unapologetically and making each moment in the courtroom, or anywhere else, profoundly ours.Until next time,Jen Let's Connect!!JenHardy.netFacebookInstagramLinkedInFind Judge Rosie's video on the Reflejo Court here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnSPuEMSwTU
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I call upon your undivided attention! Our latest episode took us into the world of courtrooms, butter vs. mayo debates, and the unexpected rise to YouTube stardom. Our guest, Colin— who's definitely not Cromwell (just ask the Irish Demon)—graced us with tales from his channel that has managed to capture the peculiar charm of Lady Justice in action. Colin's journey to YouTube fame is the digital equivalent of tripping over a gold nugget. His YouTube saga began with a name mix-up that would put a Shakespearean comedy to shame.

Hello Fabulous! Welcome to our new series - a deep dive into the American Justice System. We're gonna start with a little bit of humor, and I would love it if you would submit all of your questions and concerns about our legal system as well as the people you'd like me to interview. I would absolutely love your input! It's time to dive into the wonderfully wacky world of American laws. Let's cut to the chase: America has some pretty strange rules on the books, and I'm here to dish out the details. First up, if you're craving bear claws while wandering the wilds of Maine, stick to the pastry kind, my friend. Actual bear claws? Down in Florida, where I reside among the eternal sunshine, there's a law that's music to no one's ears – singing off-key in your bathing suit is a big no-no. So, when in Florida, make sure those vocal cords are as finely tuned as your suntan. And don't even think about a melodic dip in the pool unless your pitch is perfect. Listen for more... and go to YouTube.com
Hello fabulous friends! Buckle up your seatbelts (or should I say your most fashionable belts) because we're about to dive into the wisdom pool with none other than Judge Stephanie Boyd. Judge Boyd kicks things off with a nostalgic trip down memory lane, back to her roots in Shreveport, Louisiana. Apparently, this judge was once a little hustler, earning her keep with good old-fashioned chores. Who knew yard work could lead to the bench? I can barely get my petunias to bloom on time. Boyd's escapades were all about a carefree childhood and the kind of positive vibes that we all wish we could bottle up and spritz on during those less-than-stellar days. We also didn't shy away from getting deep, pondering the big ideas like positive influence, positive parenting, and the art of not messing up your kids. It's all about drawing the line between oops-a-daisy and 'I meant to do that'—like remembering (or forgetting) your umbrella when the forecast screams rain. Speaking of forecasts, Judge Boyd and I have weathered our own personal storms, with their houses turning into indoor pools (I mean, floods, not the fun kind). Boyd's been camping out in a hotel since October and spilled the tea on hose maintenance (every 10 years, folks—put it in your calendars now). And because no chat is complete without some self-love, we talk about aging like fine wine and learning to say no more than a toddler. Hydration with fancy cups and straws? Check. Skincare routines that would make a K-beauty guru bow down? Double-check. Judge Boyd's even got a flower-and-purse ritual to remind us to treat ourselves, because let's face it, we deserve it. Now, let's get real for a sec. The world's not all rainbows and bookfests, and Judge Boyd's career reminds us of that. She's worn the defense attorney hat, represented kiddos in CPS cases, and is a huge advocate for treating everyone with kindness in the courtroom. She's not just there to lay down the law; she's there to listen, to understand, and to treat people as, well, people. Our fabulousJudge Boyd also drops some knowledge about transparency in the courts and utilizing platforms like YouTube to let people have a peek into the legal system. In conclusion, kids need boundaries, fiestas need medals, and we all need a little Paris in our lives (apparently, it's not as pricey as one would think!). As we usher out Judge Boyd from this enlightening episode, we're left with a gentle reminder: life's about the choices we make, the umbrellas we forget, and the wisdom to know when to grab a cup of water or a fancy straw.

Hello, my fabulous fashionistas! Welcome back to the "Fabulous Over Fifty" podcast! I'm your host, Jen Hardy, and let me tell you, today's episode with the divine Nancy Queen, the reigning monarch of minimalist wardrobes, was both enlightening and, dare I say, life-changing! She is the star of "Shopping on Champagne" on YouTube. Nancy opened up about her escapades in the fashion world, all from the comfort of her temporary East Coast command center, thanks to caring for her dad. And yes, despite the chaos, Nancy's surroundings were as stylish as the advice she dished out – No cluttered backgrounds or fashion faux pas in sight! Let's talk about the real runway show here: our closets. As we dove into the concept of capsule wardrobes, it became apparent that my own closet was the equivalent of ‘Where's Waldo?' – too many pieces with nowhere to be found purpose! Nancy's approach, by contrast, is like food shopping with a laser-focused grocery list – intentional, strategic, and leaving no room for those impulsive buys (looking at you, neon legwarmers from 1985). Her idea of "style words" and her passion for helping women find their personal fashion identity resonated with me; I could almost hear my eclectic collection of scarves sobbing as they realized their days were numbered. So sit back, or better yet, stand in front of your closet with a critical eye, and get ready to be inspired. Trust me, whether you're a seasoned fashion enthusiast or someone whose idea of a wild day is choosing the shirt that doesn't have coffee stains, this episode has something for everyone.

Hello Fabulous!! I don't know about you, but I love gadgets. I've always been into tech, since I was a kid. I remember when we brought home that shiny new apple to Computer. Little did we know that it was a dud, but it seems cutting edge of the time, and we were so excited! But now we've transformed our gadgets from mere tools to almost sentient companions that could give your pet a run for its money. There's a fine, sometimes nefarious line between convenience and dependency, where these smart devices learn our habits faster than we do theirs. We're sliding into an era where your coffee machine not only knows your preferred brew but also questions your life choices if you reach for that third cup. Today we're talking about the top 3 ways you can have issues, and how to lock your tech down to save yourself some headaches. Listen for more! Thank you for joining me today!

Hello fabulous friends! I In this week's episode of Fabulous Over 50, we're diving headfirst into the world of AI, and let me tell you, I am absolutely hooked! From vacuuming robots to smart light bulbs and security systems, I have found all sorts of ways to make my life a whole lot easier. And let's not forget about Chat GPT, the friendly little AI chatbot who helps me out in a pinch, writes uncomfortable letters for me, and even provides travel advice. Who knew AI could be so versatile and, dare I say, fabulous? But as much as I love embracing the AI revolution, I can't help but learn about the nefarious potential lurking in the shadows. Next week, we're going to peel back the curtain and take a closer look at the dark side of AI. But fear not, my friends, because after that, we've got an amazing guest lined up to dazzle us with fashion and style tips that will make getting dressed a joy, even on those "can't be bothered" days. So don't miss out - tune in, stay fabulous, and let's conquer the world of AI together! Thank you for joining me today!

Greetings fabulous! Today we dive into the glittering world of personal branding with none other than the punk-rock-spirited CPA, Heather Zeitzwolfe. Between shared technical snafus involving the mysterious entity that is Zoom and confessing our collective affinity for AppSumo deals (they really should start sponsoring us at this point), we spent more time laughing than I ever have during an episode! And yes, that image of us decked out in sequins and leather while balancing our checkbooks is 100% accurate - our personal brands are all about shining bright and rocking out, no matter what the ledger says. So pull up your favorite chair, slap on some of that old-school eyeliner if you're feelin' it, and get ready for an episode that juggles everything from our punk days listening to Social Distortion to the taxing conundrums of being an Amazon Vine reviewer (who knew reviewing could be so, well, taxable?). Heather not only brought down the house with her tales of spicing up the CPA world with a dash of rebellion, but she also gave us a peek behind the velvet curtain of personal reinvention. Trust me, whether you're a rockstar at heart or a glitter enthusiast, finding your personal brand over fifty isn't just possible—it's a downright hoot. Let's crank up the volume and celebrate the fabulous, misfit anthems of our lives. Thank you for joining us today!

"There's a fine line between glittery and tacky. Very fine line. I try to stay on the correct side of that line. I am quite sure that I pass it often." - Jen Hardy Hello fabulous! My mom always said that glitter is the herpes of the craft world! The more I think about it, the more it makes sense. Like herpes, glitter just doesn't seem to go away. But now that I'm over 50, I've decided to embrace the sparkle. And you know what? It's working! People are too busy noticing the glitter to pay much attention to the wrinkles. So, why not throw a little sparkle on those laugh lines? As I always say, if it sparkles, it's fabulous! Speaking of fabulous, I recently attended Podfest, and let me tell you, the struggle of getting ready in the morning is real. But I've discovered a secret that has changed the game for me. Get yourself a cute hat, bling it out, throw on a little lipstick, and voilà, you've got a glamorous look in no time. Who knew getting ready could be that simple? So whether you're rocking the glitter and sequins or just living that relaxed life, find what makes you feel fabulous and own it! Until next time, stay fabulous, my friends.

Hello Beautiful! You know who you are...you learned to dance with your friends at slumber parties, not from YouTube. You sat for hours on the weekends with the phone cord wrapping and unwrapping around your fingers while you giggled the night away. And you always knew who your "friends" were. You are still just as beautiful, more worthy, and wise beyond measure! Remember that. I've realized that there's no bad hair day a little glitter and glam can't solve.... No matter what's happening out there, sometimes we just need to dance to a great perky song, and while it might not be "great," it is perky!! (and I wrote it just for you) So dance and smile for me today & I'll be back to talk to you soon. Love, Jen Thank you for joining me!

Hey there, fabulous listeners! It's Jen Hardy, and I am beyond thrilled to be back with you today. Let me just say, the past month has been absolutely incredible. I had the privilege of visiting my daughter in Europe and let me tell you, it was a whirlwind adventure. We explored five countries in just two and a half weeks, indulging in unforgettable experiences like having lunch in the Eiffel Tower and taking a bike ride to the Louvre. But that's not all! We also had the opportunity to accompany my husband to the place he was stationed during the 1st Gulf War, which brought him immense closure and allowed us to truly connect on a deeper level. I highly recommend this journey if you have the chance, especially if you're married to someone who has served in the military. Now, onto some exciting news on the home front. We have seven children, ranging from 12 to 34 years old, but get ready for a big surprise - we're hoping to welcome a 5-year-old into our lives! It's emotional, overwhelming, and absolutely wonderful, and I promise to share more about this incredible journey in a future episode. But for now, I just want to apologize for my absence and express my gratitude for your understanding. Thank you for joining me today!

When you said in sickness and in health, you probably pictured a sniffle or maybe a slight fever, but then life throws a curveball... In today's episode, we're tackling the topic of taking care of an ill husband and getting our final paperwork in order. It's important stuff & we're here to provide answers and a dose of humor for those navigating this challenging situation. Picture this: your DIY superstar husband suddenly becomes the patient and you're the nurse. It's not as easy as those wedding vows made it seem, but through the trials of healthcare, we can learn to love each other even more. So how do we make the best of it? Well, first things first, kick Doctor Google out of the house. Not every sneeze is a rare disease. Stick to real doctors and limit the WebMD visits. Next, channel your inner chef. Use this time to experiment with new recipes and maybe even turn making soup into an Olympic sport. And when it comes to entertainment, Netflix and chill becomes literal. Balance tearjerkers with comedies, because emotional cardio is a thing. Plus, it's a chance for quality together time. Get ready to learn a whole new vocabulary too. Medical terms will become your household jargon, and it's okay to laugh at the struggles of pronouncing them. Oh, and pajamas! Find some funny PJs for your hubby to bring a smile to his face. And let's not forget patience! Amidst the chaos, there are countless moments to be thankful for. So if you find yourself in this situation, or know someone who is, we've got your back. And the grown up homework needs to be done - now. Wills, powers of attorney, advanced healthcare directives - oh my!! Now is the time to complete them all, and treat yourself when they're finished!

Hey there, fabulous! Welcome to the latest episode of the Fabulous Over 50 podcast, where we're all about finding our fabulousness and living our dreams. I'm your host, Jen Hardy, and today we're diving into the topic of living in the sandwich generation. Now, I know what you're thinking - what's with the food metaphors, Jen? Well, I may have gotten a little carried away with the sandwich theme, but I promise it's all in good taste (pun intended). So, what exactly is the sandwich generation? It's that place where you find yourself squeezed between caring for aging parents and raising your own children. It's like being the mayo that holds a big, messy sandwich together. Trust me, it's a common situation that many of us can relate to. And boy, does it come with its challenges - financial, emotional, and time commitments that can make your head spin. But there are also some pretty amazing rewards in the form of love, connection, and personal growth. It's like a buffet of emotions that sometimes feels overwhelming, but we're in this together!
