I Am Not My Hair… But She's Still Gotta Be Fly | Natural Hair & Beauty After 50 07/14/2026

I Am Not My Hair… But She's Still Gotta Be Fly | Natural Hair & Beauty After 50 Tell the truth and shame the devil: KC Sonshine has been natural since 1998 — and still hasn't worn her own hair out in years. You can be more than your hair and still want it to be fly. Between braids, weaves, wigs and "anything that starts with a W," protective styling was supposed to protect the hair. But what happens when the style becomes permanent — and the creamy crack starts whispering your name again? In this funny, unfiltered episode of 50ish & Fab, KC confronts the complicated relationship between Black women, natural hair, aging, and beauty after 50 — including research raising serious questions about chemical straighteners and hormone-related cancers. NIH's Sister Study found women who used hair straighteners frequently had roughly double the uterine cancer risk, and about 60% of the straightener users studied were Black women. Source: nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/hair-straightening-chemicals-associated-higher-uterine-cancer-risk Then it's the tips nobody hands you at 50: a DIY avocado-olive oil-honey hair mask, a castor-peppermint scalp massage oil, why your skin needs daily sunscreen and retinol done right, and the vitamin D deficiency so many Black adults over 50 don't know they have. Expect honest confessions and practical wisdom, plus one very important reminder: "I am not my hair" does not mean she can come outside looking any kind of way. Press play, then tell us in the comments: what's one beauty rule you're finally ready to break after 50? And tag the sister who already knows exactly which side of team-wash-and-go vs. team-protective-style-forever she's on.

Thanks for My Child... But Can They Answer the Phone? 06/09/2026

Thanks for My Child... But Can They Answer the Phone? They text. They scroll. They post. They FaceTime their friends for hours. So why is answering your call suddenly too much to ask? In this funny, nostalgic, and all-too-relatable episode of 50ish & Fab, KC Sonshine tackles one of the greatest mysteries of modern parenting: raising children who are constantly connected to everyone except the people who raised them. Inspired by Cheryl "Pepsii" Riley's classic "Thanks for My Child," KC takes listeners on a hilarious journey from the days of payphones, busy signals, and answering machines to a world of smartphones, social media, and unread messages. But beneath the laughter lies a bigger conversation about communication, connection, and the changing relationship between Gen X parents and digital-native children. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why Gen Z avoids phone calls but never seems to miss a notification • The surprising generational differences in communication styles • How social media has changed family relationships • Practical ways to get your kids to respond without losing your mind • Healthy strategies for creating digital boundaries and responsibility And while this episode is full of laughs, it's also a reminder that relationships evolve. As we explored in this week's Moment Before Monday, "You're Allowed to Start Over," every season of life requires us to adjust, grow, and learn new ways to connect with the people we love. Because parenting doesn't end when children get older—it simply changes. So if you've ever called your child three times, sent a text, left a voicemail, and then watched them post on Instagram five minutes later... this episode is for you. Press play, laugh a little, nod your head, and know you're not alone. Aging gracefully is cute... but thriving after 50? That's FABULOUS.

You Built the Career. Now Build the Life. (Working 9 to 5) 06/02/2026

You Built the Career. Now Build the Life. (Working 9 to 5) This title has tremendous potential because it speaks directly to one of the biggest fears and opportunities facing your audience: "Am I still relevant?" The description should challenge the narrative that age is a liability while positioning experience as a competitive advantage. You built the career. Now build the life. For years, we were told success meant climbing the ladder, paying our dues, staying loyal, and proving ourselves one promotion at a time. Then everything changed. Artificial intelligence. Remote work. Automation. Quiet quitting. Entire industries reinventing themselves overnight. So where does that leave women over 50? In this honest, funny, and empowering episode of 50ish & Fab, KC Sonshine tackles one of the biggest myths in today's workplace: that experience has an expiration date. Spoiler alert: it doesn't. Drawing from her own journey from receptionist to Chief Administrative Officer, KC explores how seasoned professionals can stay relevant, embrace technology, leverage decades of hard-earned wisdom, and continue thriving in a workforce obsessed with what's next. You'll discover: • Why experience is still one of the most valuable assets in the workplace • How to stay current without chasing every trend • The technology skills mature professionals should be paying attention to • Why emotional intelligence is becoming more valuable—not less • How to avoid "aging out" by continuing to learn, adapt, and grow • What younger generations can learn from old-school work ethic—and vice versa Because while some people are quietly quitting, many of us are quietly returning—bringing resilience, perspective, professionalism, and leadership that can't be downloaded from an app. If you've ever wondered whether your best professional years are behind you, this episode is your reminder: Your value didn't disappear with your youth. It increased with your experience. Press play and discover why the next chapter of your career might be your most powerful yet. #WomenOver50 #CareerAfter50 #MidlifeCareer #ProfessionalWomen #WorkplaceSuccess #CareerGrowth #ExecutiveLeadership #AgeismInTheWorkplace #ArtificialIntelligence #CareerReinvention #PersonalDevelopment #WomenInBusiness #LeadershipSkills #FutureOfWork #50ishAndFab /episode/index/show/f99ba0ec-dc60-4d70-9b21-8405665ef183/id/41466230
