Fabulous Over 50

Are you tired of those perfectly curated social media profiles with women our age so photoshopped they all look age 18 and size 2? (seriously, what’s up with that?) But not feeling old enough to pre-order your coffin? Me too! That's why I started the fabulous over 50 podcast. It's time for us to celebrate being at an age where we stop giving two craps about what other people think and just live fabulously - whatever that means to each of us! I'm your host, Jen Hardy, and I'm going to take you on a journey to the fabulousness inside yourself. Because fabulous is a state of mind. We’re going to take on the tough issues too, like ageism, dealing with menopause (& after), and putting the ‘care’ back into healthcare. You know what I'm talking about!

Judge Boyd spills the tea about court, travel, and her fabulous life 04/04/2024

Judge Boyd spills the tea about court, travel, and her fabulous life Hello fabulous friends! Buckle up your seatbelts (or should I say your most fashionable belts) because we're about to dive into the wisdom pool with none other than Judge Stephanie Boyd. Judge Boyd kicks things off with a nostalgic trip down memory lane, back to her roots in Shreveport, Louisiana. Apparently, this judge was once a little hustler, earning her keep with good old-fashioned chores. Who knew yard work could lead to the bench? I can barely get my petunias to bloom on time. Boyd's escapades were all about a carefree childhood and the kind of positive vibes that we all wish we could bottle up and spritz on during those less-than-stellar days. We also didn't shy away from getting deep, pondering the big ideas like positive influence, positive parenting, and the art of not messing up your kids. It's all about drawing the line between oops-a-daisy and 'I meant to do that'—like remembering (or forgetting) your umbrella when the forecast screams rain. Speaking of forecasts, Judge Boyd and I have weathered our own personal storms, with their houses turning into indoor pools (I mean, floods, not the fun kind). Boyd's been camping out in a hotel since October and spilled the tea on hose maintenance (every 10 years, folks—put it in your calendars now). And because no chat is complete without some self-love, we talk about aging like fine wine and learning to say no more than a toddler. Hydration with fancy cups and straws? Check. Skincare routines that would make a K-beauty guru bow down? Double-check. Judge Boyd's even got a flower-and-purse ritual to remind us to treat ourselves, because let's face it, we deserve it. Now, let's get real for a sec. The world's not all rainbows and bookfests, and Judge Boyd's career reminds us of that. She's worn the defense attorney hat, represented kiddos in CPS cases, and is a huge advocate for treating everyone with kindness in the courtroom. She's not just there to lay down the law; she's there to listen, to understand, and to treat people as, well, people. Our fabulousJudge Boyd also drops some knowledge about transparency in the courts and utilizing platforms like YouTube to let people have a peek into the legal system. In conclusion, kids need boundaries, fiestas need medals, and we all need a little Paris in our lives (apparently, it's not as pricey as one would think!). As we usher out Judge Boyd from this enlightening episode, we're left with a gentle reminder: life's about the choices we make, the umbrellas we forget, and the wisdom to know when to grab a cup of water or a fancy straw.

The Queen of Style Tells How to Find our Signature Look 03/26/2024

The Queen of Style Tells How to Find our Signature Look Hello, my fabulous fashionistas! Welcome back to the "Fabulous Over Fifty" podcast! I'm your host, Jen Hardy, and let me tell you, today's episode with the Queen of Style - Nancy Queen, the reigning monarch of minimalist wardrobes, was both enlightening and, dare I say, life-changing! She is the star of "Shopping on Champagne" on YouTube. @shoppingonchampagne - go check it out!! Nancy opened up about her escapades in the fashion world, all from the comfort of her temporary East Coast command center, thanks to caring for her dad. And yes, despite the chaos, Nancy's surroundings were as stylish as the advice she dished out – No cluttered backgrounds or fashion faux pas in sight! Let's talk about the real runway show here: our closets. As we dove into the concept of capsule wardrobes, it became apparent that my own closet was the equivalent of ‘Where's Waldo?’ – too many pieces with nowhere to be found purpose! Nancy's approach, by contrast, is like food shopping with a laser-focused grocery list – intentional, strategic, and leaving no room for those impulsive buys (looking at you, neon legwarmers from 1985). Her idea of "style words" and her passion for helping women find their personal fashion identity resonated with me; I could almost hear my eclectic collection of scarves sobbing as they realized their days were numbered. So sit back, or better yet, stand in front of your closet with a critical eye, and get ready to be inspired. Trust me, whether you're a seasoned fashion enthusiast or someone whose idea of a wild day is choosing the shirt that doesn't have coffee stains, this episode has something for everyone. Thank you for joining me today! I'm having a blast creating Fabulous Over 50 & it would be an honor to have you share it with someone who would enjoy it. Thank you! Want more? You can go to and you'll find many ways to live your best life over 50! I'd love to hear what you think about this episode & what you'd like to hear about in the future. Have a blessed week, Jen Let's Connect!! /episode/index/show/thesickmomsguide/id/30522843
