Julia knows that "Wise women have had a lot more time than we have to figure this life shit out." On a recent car ride I binged her first 3 interviews interviews -- Jane Fonda, Isabelle Allende and Fran Leibowitz and can't wait for the next one.
The podcast of Wiser Than Me, aired for the first time on April 11. Julia Louis Dreyfus sits down with women over 70, 80 and more and "goes to school on them." Julia is casual, funny and after all these years of watching Veep and Seinfeld - we know Julia and it's like listening in on a friend's conversation or one you would like to join in on.
Julia addresses how we learn from great women who are older and wiser and man oh man can she engage in a great interviews.
At the end of each episode Julia calls her 89 year old Mom Judi. "Hey mommy, you won't believe who I talked to today?" And, they have a little Mom and daughter chat which is beyond precious.
Here's a little look at what you can expect from the Podcast --...
Oprah turned 69 in January and once again she takes the lead on embracing age at every step.
“For me, it is such a reward to be turning 69 and to be strong and healthy,” she wrote on Oprah Daily. “This time last year, I was getting over a double knee operation, and now I have never felt better. As I turn 69, I choose not to focus on the number. For me, the number has always just been a marker. Instead, I choose to celebrate the time I’ve spent living, taking note of all the shifts, the wins, the accomplishments, how much I’ve grown over the past year and I look forward to all that is to come.”
We may not have what Oprah has had in her life - including her birthday party guests, such as Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian, but we can have her frame of mind.
I really hope that someone played back this interview that Oprah had with Deepak Chopra at her birthday to remind her why turning 70 is when middle age starts. BA50s you are going to love this interview, it is incredibly empowering.
Deepak says, "No one dies of old age - everyone dies of diseases. You can reverse the biological effects of aging -- you can improve hearing and eyesight and blood pressure.
Is aging normal? No it's not. People who are 40 act like 70 or and reverse is true.
You can do things with your food, stress level and your quality of life that will override your genes. In nature there are mechanisms that can respond so we can change our aging trajectory.
Deepak says 70 is the best time of your youth and it begins our middle age -- listen up here. ...

Don Lemon got slammed by his clueless comment about women in their prime on air and is now undergoing formal training. CNN’s chairman, Chris Licht, said … that [anchor Don Lemon] “has agreed to participate in formal training” after making on-air comments widely regarded as sexist. — New York Times, Feb. 20, 2023. What the hell is formal training?
Whaaaaat!
Women in their 60's know that Don Lemon got it wrong by 2 decades. Yes we know that in our bones! But frankly we aren't going to worry about Don's insensitivity because that's how he feels and that may never change and we are tuning out...bye bye Don. You know why? ...
