We Will Not Be Aging Quietly: Claiming Your Most Powerful Season with Katie Fogarty Description: What if the years everyone warned you about turned out to be the ones you'd been waiting for? Today, Jen and Amy sit down with Katie Fogarty—a former journalist, career coach, and the voice behind one of the most vibrant midlife podcasts in the country, called A Certain Age—for an honest, energizing hour about what it really means to thrive in this season. Katie launched A Certain Age thirty-five days before her 51st birthday with one mission: blow up the narrative that women become less relevant as they get older. Five years and 230-plus episodes later, she's interviewed hundreds of midlife women—and she has thoughts. Big ones. They dig into the myths about midlife that refuse to die, why Katie calls this season an "accelerant" rather than an obstacle, what it looks like when women stop waiting for permission and start claiming their lives—and what she's hearing that gives her real hope for the women coming behind us. If you've ever felt like midlife was quietly trying to make you smaller—this episode is your push back. Thought-provoking Quotes: “Sometimes the word ‘reinventing' implies we're completely changing our lives and getting rid of everything that came before. It's more about reimagining, because we're drawing on all of our expertise to apply it in new ways, big and small.” – Katie Fogarty “Midlife is that moment where you say, let me get going. The kids are grown, the career maybe is established, life is sort of on track, moving forward, and we have this moment with space in our brain, maybe on our calendar, to actually hit go on whatever it is we've been thinking about for so long.” – Katie Fogarty “If you are feeling disconnected from relationships, or like you're not being supported, find people that you are visible to. There are communities of people out there who care about what you care about, who want to see you, who will see you.” – Katie Fogarty Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Jen's first colonoscopy - https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWz8nTvgo6p/ Sophie Grégoire Trudeau on Life, Emotional Regulation and Midlife Reinventions - https://www.acertainagepod.com/shows/sophie-grgoire-trudeau-on-life-emotional-regulation-and-midlife-reinventions Tamsen Fadal - https://www.tamsenfadal.com/ Grown Woman Talk: Your Guide to Getting and Staying Healthy by Dr. Sharon Malone - https://amzn.to/4t14kQY The New Perimenopause: What's Actually Happening to Your Body with Dr. Mary Claire Haver - https://jenhatmaker.com/podcasts/series-64/the-new-perimenopause-whats-actually-happening-to-your-body-with-dr-mary-claire-haver/ When Life Happens: The Mindset Shift You Need to Manage Stress, Build Confidence, and Break Free by Dr. Rachel Goldman - https://amzn.to/4mnvZsY Midlife Private Parts: Revealing Essays That Will Change the Way You Think About Age - https://www.midlifeprivateparts.com/ The Midlife Book Club - https://www.themidlifebookclub.com/about Jen Hatmaker Book Club - https://shop.jenhatmaker.com/collections/book-club Sandwich by Catherine Newman - https://amzn.to/3QauFNM Same As It Ever Was by Claire Lombardo - https://amzn.to/4mkK8XI The Grand Paloma Resort: A Novel by Cleyvis Natera - https://amzn.to/4meEQNi The Secret Book Society by Madeline Martin - https://amzn.to/47MkGnX Guest's Links: Website - https://www.acertainagepod.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/acertainagepod/ Podcast - https://www.acertainagepod.com/episodes Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.

On this episode of "We're Done Here," we sit down with stand-up comedy legend Carole Montgomery for a candid and hilarious conversation about something many of us face: anxiety. Known for her unfiltered humor and groundbreaking work with "Funny Women of a Certain Age," Carole opens up about navigating the highs and lows of a 40+ year career, raising a son, and finding the funny even when anxiety tries to steal the show. Get ready for some honest insights and, of course, plenty of laughs.Are you ready to be done here? Grab your headphones, hit play, and get ready to laugh, cry, and learn. This is “We're Done Here”, and we're done talking. Now it's your turn to listen.

If there were a Webby Award for best adaptation of a lunch conversation into a podcast, Guys of a Certain Age would surely win.  Right?  The Guys will have to lobby for that one.   Meanwhile, in the studio, Robbie and Jay take an episode to talk about adaptations of books into streaming series and movies. The conversation begins with Murderbot (doesn't it always?), which Jay listened to as an audiobook.  (Listen to the end to hear Robbie's opinion on whether or not he can say he “read” the book.)  Another book, Project Hail Mary, is in theaters as this episode hits the podwaves, and is getting good reviews as an adaptation.  Jay gets through an epic fantasy book in audio form, but joins the crowd in panning the video version.  The big question regardless of success is, what should one do first?  Read the book or watch the show?  Jay and Robbie have answers.   And they have Geeks of the Week. Jay brings a lack-of-depth analysis on the two Supergirl trailers so far, and Robbie has news of Mr. Mortensen not being Viggo-rous enough to reprise one of his most famous roles.  There's no book (yet) for this podcast, and no video version, so be sure to listen!

Chris and Shaun sit down with Katie Fogarty, a communications expert, "proud crusader" for women in midlife, and the host of the popular podcast A Certain Age. Katie discusses her journey from a religion major at Holy Cross and a teaching stint in a Japanese fishing village to becoming a leading voice in the "menopause zeitgeist." We explore the systemic gaps in women's healthcare, the "beauty industrial complex," and why Katie believes that aging isn't about becoming invisible—it's about becoming visible to the right people.Key Takeaways:The Menopause Zeitgeist: Why the conversation around menopause is finally hitting the mainstream and why "bikini medicine" (focusing only on the pelvis) is failing women's brain, heart, and bone health.Aging Out Loud: Katie's philosophy on resisting the "anti-aging" narrative and why she refuses to allow advertisers on her show who suggest that aging is a condition to be "fixed."Curiosity as a Superpower: How partners and husbands can support the women in their lives by educating themselves on perimenopause rather than waiting for their partner to explain it.The "Invisibility" Myth: A reframe on midlife—arguing that 50+ is not a time of fading away, but a time of intentional reinvention and newfound relevancy.Episode Highlights:[00:00] Intro: Shout out to our friend and previous guest Jason Ronai on his new role at the Basketball Museum of Illinois (plus a goat debate).[02:15] The Small World: We uncover multiple points of connection and discuss Katie's career journey.[14:30] Culturally Catholic: Katie discusses her upbringing, the "Spotlight" scandal, and how she and her husband navigated faith while raising three young adults.[23:00] The Birth of A Certain Age: The "aha moment" when a New York Times bestselling author and a Michelin-starred chef both admitted they were afraid to go public with being over 50.[28:15] The Medical Gap: The staggering statistics behind NIH funding for women's health and the importance of HRT as a foundation for mental health.[35:10] Advice for Men: How husbands can "pull their heads out of their butts" and become active participants in the conversation around hormonal health.[43:00] Voting with Your Wallet: Why Katie chooses to use reading glasses and color her hair while still rejecting the "anti-aging" industrial complex.[53:40] Parenting Truths: Advice for parents of 17-year-olds on finding what "lights you up" rather than just padding a resume.[58:20] The Speed Round: Sunblock regrets, the "this too shall pass" mantra, and what Katie hopes people say at her wake.Connect with Katie Fogarty:Podcast: A Certain AgeInstagram: @acertainagepodCompany: The Reboot Group

He's baaaack.  But don't be afraid!  It's not Jason, it's Wes Shelton.   Back for the umpteenth time and The Guys are always happy to have him.  It's springtime at the studio, which means there was a frost last week, and Jay is baring his pale legs in shorts this week.  Mississippi listeners understand.  Since spring in Mississippi can be like summer anywhere else (minus the frost, perhaps), The Guys are already preparing for grilling season.  But what does “prep” actually mean when it comes to the equipment?  That's why they call on Wes, Griller of a Certain Age and expert in all things outdoor cooking. Wes has tips for all the grills, and even a few tips on some new party foods that are bound to please everyone at your Guys of a Certain Age summer binge-listening cookout.   Also in this episode, Jay is overwhelmed a bit by all the movie and tv trailers that came out this week, because it means there are even more things he wants to watch.  Robbie is watching the same number of screens, but it's all on Apple TV's F1 race coverage.  Plenty to watch, plenty to listen to, plenty of time to get your grill ready for summer.

Ray Romano built one of the biggest sitcoms of the 1990s, made hundreds of millions of dollars, and still somehow feels underrated. In this episode, we break down Ray Romano's stand-up roots, his rise to Everybody Loves Raymond, and why his legacy deserves more respect.In this episode of Why Are You Laughing?, we go back to Ray Romano's early struggles in stand-up comedy, when he was grinding it out in clubs long before network fame. We talk about how David Letterman played a major role in helping Everybody Loves Raymond get on the air, and how Romano's low-key delivery and relatable writing style separated him from flashier comedians of his era.We also dig into the parts of his career that don't get talked about enough. From the criminally underrated Men of a Certain Age, to working with Martin Scorsese on Vinyl and The Irishman, to his more recent independent film Somewhere in Queens, Romano's post-sitcom work shows range and depth that often gets overlooked.Was he overshadowed by shows like Seinfeld and Friends?
