  • Positive, upbeat approach to 50+

    I loved listening to Sue’s interviews with such interesting, relatable, articulate women. Often Sue asked exactly what I was thinking and this is the Power of the Podcast - the ability for me to feel like I’ve bumped into friends and am in on the conversation. Flourish After Fifty is insightful and energises me for this next phase of my life.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

10. Lucy Owens - "Matching Your Style with the Woman You’re Becoming"
Q: Can you share the story of your pivot from the corporate world to styling?
Lucy recounts a non-linear journey from marketing and PR in fashion to a leadership role in a luxury hotel, then a decisive retreat in Bali that inspired her to quit and move overseas. After time in Buenos Aires, she returned to Melbourne, completed image consulting training, and started Style Rises, gradually building a business that blends fashion with personal transformation.
3. Barbara Waxman - "The Power of Middlescence"
Q: How do you describe energy management in midlife and why is it central to flourishing?
She explains that energy is the core resource—physical, emotional, cognitive, and purposeful—and that understanding and cultivating it through her Seven Lifestyle Levers Assessment enables people to sustain impact and resilience as they age.
8. Heather Cameron - "Never Underestimate A Woman"
Q: What is the most liberating part of sharing your story publicly?
The liberating part is showing that the life she built—from farm to author to retreat founder—was possible despite people labeling her as crazy or underestimating her. Publishing allowed her to demonstrate strength, help others, and gain recognition that reinforces the value of speaking out and owning one's narrative.
8. Heather Cameron - "Never Underestimate A Woman"
Q: For listeners who aren't familiar with your journey, could you share a bit about your life experiences and how you moved from hardship to the life you have now, especially after 50?
Heather describes growing up in isolation with limited schooling, surviving an extremely challenging marriage, and a drought-year that tested everything. She explains how writing became therapy, how she fought for her children in a lengthy court process, and how she turned adversity into advocacy by publishing memoirs, leading retreats, and coaching others toward self-love and resilience.
14. Kathy Wood - "Living Into Later: Purpose and Possibility Beyond Work"
Q: If you could go back to Kathy six months before finishing work, what would you tell her about life on the other side?
There are abundant opportunities in various forms, and even with potential challenges, it can be exciting and precious to be at this stage, with time continuing to unfold in new and meaningful ways.
