Age is Irrelevant

Lisa Lawton is a singer, life coach, and founder of Lioness Global Collective, empowering women to embrace their inner wisdom, authenticity, and strength. A lifelong singer who began at age 11, Lisa now uses her voice to unite women, challenge limiting beliefs, and inspire reinvention. Her message is simple but powerful: Midlife isn't a crisis — it's a calling. Discover how perseverance, self-belief, and a shift in perspective can help you reclaim your power and make your second chapter your best chapter yet.

At 80 years young, Patti Shales Lefkos didn't slow down—she changed direction. After a successful career in education, at the age of 60, she went back to journalism school and reinvented herself as a travel writer. And if that weren't inspiring enough, Patti went on to complete an incredible 800-kilometer trek across Nepal's Great Himalayan Trail at age 77.  Her story is one of courage, curiosity, adventure, and refusing to let a number define what's possible.  Patti is proof that sometimes the best chapters of our lives are the ones we never saw coming!

What if saying YES could change your entire life? At 74, Renee Landers is proof that it's never too late to reinvent yourself, pursue a new dream, and discover what you're truly capable of. Renee began bodybuilding at 69, competed in numerous competitions, and ultimately earned her Pro status. Then, at 74, she stepped onto an entirely different stage—entering a beauty pageant and winning the title of Classic Universe Beauty. In this inspiring conversation, Renee and I talk about what it means to embrace the power of YES, show up even when you're unsure of the outcome, and refuse to let a number define what's possible. Renee shares her philosophy of "Be the best YOU!", why she believes you simply have to show up and never give up, and one of her most important life lessons: forgive yourself. This conversation is a powerful reminder that reinvention doesn't have an expiration date—and your next chapter might just be your best one yet.

At 72, fitness influencer Emmie Sanh is proving that age is truly just a number. But when she was recently diagnosed with bowel cancer, her strength and mindset were put to the ultimate test. In this powerful and deeply inspiring conversation, Emmie shares her message about not making excuses, not putting life on hold, and—most importantly—not ignoring the signs when something doesn't feel right with your health. We talk about courage, resilience, mindset, and choosing to keep living fully—even when life takes an unexpected turn. Emmie's message is one every woman over 50 needs to hear: Don't wait. Don't make excuses. Don't ignore the signs. And never let your age tell you what you can't do. 

I had the incredible opportunity to sit down with JJ Virgin for the Age Is Irrelevant podcast. JJ Virgin is a world-renowned health and wellness expert, four-time New York Times bestselling author, nutrition and fitness expert, and longtime advocate for helping people live stronger, healthier lives as they age. She's also the founder of the MindShare Collaborative and has spent decades helping people transform their health through nutrition, fitness, and lifestyle. And let me tell you… this conversation delivered! It was packed with wisdom, energy, and some powerful reminders about what it really means to thrive as we get older.  JJ and I talked about aging, health, fitness, nutrition, mindset, and the choices we make every day that can change the way we feel and live in this next chapter. But one thing she said really stopped me in my tracks: "Women are so mean to themselves." And she's right. We can be our own harshest critics—especially when it comes to our bodies, our age, and the things we think we should be doing differently. What if, instead of criticizing ourselves, we started treating ourselves with the same encouragement and compassion we so freely give to everyone else? ❤️ That's just one of the many takeaways from this powerful conversation. If you're a woman 50+ who wants to feel stronger, healthier, more confident and more alive—not just add years to your life, but life to your years—you're going to want to hear this one.

Today on Age Is Irrelevant, I'm excited to introduce you to Dr. Steven Sorr, a board certified naturopathic physician, internationally recognized educator and a true pioneer in advanced aesthetics and regenerative medicine! He's a  physician whose approach to health and aging challenges us to think beyond simply treating symptoms—and instead, to look at the bigger picture of living well. For women over 50, health can become a whole new conversation. Hormones change, our bodies change, our priorities change—and what worked for us at 30 or 40 may not work the same way today. In this episode, Dr. Sorr and I talk about what it really means to age well, how we can become more proactive about our health, and why understanding our bodies is so important as we enter this next chapter of life.  We also dive into the connection between health, vitality, beauty, longevity, aesthetics and feeling confident in the woman you are today. So if you're ready to stop accepting "this is just what happens when you get older" and start looking at what may actually be possible in your 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond, this conversation is for you!
