Listen up. Rochelle Weitzner wants to talk about menopause. It all started with a trip to the beach. Rochelle had a flash that led her on a path to changing the way we think about beauty and aging. Her company, Pause Well-Aging, offers skin care products designed especially for women in all three stages of menopause. But it hasn’t been an easy road. Rochelle has come up against a lot of resistance from an industry that has always believed beauty and beauty products are for the young. The good news is that Rochelle is determined and her mission is catching on. “Pause is more than just skincare. It’s a movement affirming that beauty gets better with age.”

That’s a plot twist we’ve long been waiting for.

So you’ve reached 50, 60, 70 or 80 years old, but does this mean your growing is done? Is your future determined, set, or non-existent? We say, no way. On today’s mini podcast we discuss the possibilities that lie ahead for each of us. We humans are prospectors by nature, born with the mission to evolve, even in our later years.

Your future self awaits your design.

But first you need to envision her. This is more than fantasy, this is the process of becoming. You are always more than the culmination of your past. Look for her, reach for her, let the possibility of her infuse body and mind now. Then put her on her feet by taking action now.

What’s next is yours to create. Join us. We are having fun.

Twisting the plot is about dreaming big, having faith, and knowing your truth. This week, we had the great pleasure to sit down with the multi-talented Mary Testa; actress, singer, and three-time Tony Award nominee. Turning 65 this year, Mary asks, what’s next? She wonders, how big can a woman in her 60’s dream? Is it possible to create a narrative that is bigger than what you are? We look forward to the future Mary, a woman who always pushes boundaries and delivers creativity and performances with creativity that takes us outside the box of expectation. Enjoy.

Today we speak with another one of our twelve women who will be creating something that matters in twelve months’ time.  Up until now, Sydney Price’s life was moving along nicely.  Her identity was defined by the possessions she owned, the jobs she held, the relationships she had.  Then suddenly, it seemed, everything changed.  A divorce, the closing of two businesses, a move to a new apartment and the loss of a loved one brought her to a crossroads.  She feels stripped down and uncertain.  Now what?  What’s next?  So Sydney joined our 12 in 12 cohort and is working on something that matters a lot: the trash that surrounds us.  Put another way, our planet.  Sydney is studying recycling, composting and other ways to translate social awareness into community action, and tackle a growing problem.  Tune in and hear what she has to say.  Sydney is a force and as her daughter reminds her “she always finds a solution.”

Do you ever have feelings about your aging body? Do you want to have a better relationship with your knees, stomach, wrinkles and hair? Are you tired of hiding and feeling less than?

Dr. Leslie Faerstein has some answers for you. She spent four decades working as a psychotherapist pioneering social programs for eating disorders and serving as executive director for various nonprofit organizations. Today, almost 70 years old, she is twisting her plot by starting consciousness raising conversations for older women who want to change the way they see, think and feel about their bodies. This is a huge social issue, and we are thrilled that Dr. Leslie is taking the lead.
