What if turning 50 wasn’t the beginning of the end — but the start of your most powerful chapter?

In this episode of Joy of the Hang, I sit down with Lorraine Ladish, CEO and co-founder of Viva Fifty!, a dynamic bilingual community celebrating life at 50 and beyond.

Originally from Madrid and now based in Sarasota, Lorraine shares her bold reinvention story — from losing her print journalism career during the 2008 recession to becoming a leading midlife content creator and voice for women’s empowerment.

We talk about:
• Reinventing yourself after 50
• Navigating identity shifts in midlife
• Entrepreneurship in the digital age
• Cultural belonging as a Spanish-American woman
• Confidence, longevity, and why it’s never too late to start again

At 62, Lorraine believes she still has so much to build — and this conversation will inspire you to rethink what’s possible in your next chapter.

Because we are born to bond. Built to belong. At every age.
