Show Notes
Midlife Remix is on!!!!!!!!!!!
Join me, Dr. Sarah Milken, in an open and honest conversation about redefining and helping us to reimagine female aging through the lens of the Hollywood eye. I am discussing how these two guests self recreated after Hollywood was done with them for being past a certain age…I am chatting with Lisa Breckenridge & Dorothy Lucey.
Lisa, a former Fox newscaster (and 30 years in news), mom of teen twins, and creator of the online platform Happily Lisa, is dedicated to helping women over 40 live their best lives. Dorothy was an entertainment reporter, co-hosted Fox's Good Day LA for twenty years, hosts her IG live series, “Healers that I love”, and is involved in one of her favorite nonprofit called, Mending Kids. These two gorgeous and smart women are letting us in on the obstacles they overcame working in Hollywood, and how they were able to “midlife remix” after losing the jobs they loved and pursue other passions that fulfill them.
We are going to dig deep into the details of Lisa’s & Dorothy’s journeys, in their second half of life. We get deep and personal and also do a run-through of fitness and beauty secrets.
Some highlights:
Lisa & Dorothy’s experience being fired from TV, for their age
Both were able to pivot from the careers they loved
Criticisms in Hollywood / “aging” in the industry
Insights into their roles as journalists and how they compartmentalized the horrors of the world
Morning routines
Meditation
Golden Nuggets from the episode:
Finding ways to pivot when things get hard
Why not me?
You're never done. There are always ways to recreate and reimagine and repurpose
The key is having a daily routine
Visualizations and compartmentalizing
Happiness isn’t a choice, it’s one of a million choices
It’s okay to take the time to sit in it, absorb it, and then start to move on
