What if everything we’ve been told about aging is incomplete?

In this powerful and refreshing episode of the Ageless Glamour Girls™ Podcast, host Marqueeta Curtis-Haynes sits down with 80-year-old “glam grandma” Lynne Bowman - and she is redefining what it truly means to age well.

From reversing chronic health challenges to starting hormone therapy (HRT) at 75, Lynne shares her honest, experience-driven perspective on health, longevity, and living fully at every stage of life.

Together, they dive into:

• What life really feels like at 80
• Why strength training and community matter more than ever
• The truth about sugar, processed foods, and everyday habits
• Simple, practical ways to improve your health starting today
• The evolving conversation around hormone therapy (HRT) for women 50+
• And why your best years may still be ahead of you

Lynne also shares insights from her Amazon best-selling cookbook, Brownies for Breakfast, proving that healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated - or boring.

This conversation is honest, empowering, and filled with wisdom for any woman navigating midlife and beyond.

Every stage of life gives you another way to live it.

About Lynn Bowman: Lynne is living proof that you can cook, eat, sleep, laugh, and walk your way out of type 2 diabetes, along with other chronic ailments. Her latest best-selling book, “Brownies for Breakfast, A Cookbook for Diabetics and the People Who Love Them," is a cool, fun, beautiful, guidebook for anybody who wants to prevent/reverse chronic disease and eat healthy. (Now available as an Audible book, too!) Plus, because she's a grandma, expect great stories and advice along with the recipes: interior/exterior design, beauty tips, style, hormones, parenting, and the one thing most of us get totally wrong with our first couple of marriages. Your listeners will love getting way more real than usual about food, movement, sleep, and the simple, actionable information that can change their lives, and their families' lives, today.

Luvvies, who else is in the middle of spring cleaning right now? If that’s you - or even thinking about it - this episode’s for you.

We’re talking about what it really means to sort through a lifetime of belongings - what to keep, what to release, and the emotional side of letting go. And for many of us, this goes beyond our own homes. We’re helping our parents navigate spaces filled with decades of memories - and recognizing when those homes may no longer be safe.

Featuring professional organizer Tanisha Lyons-Porter, founder of Natural Born Organizers, sharing practical strategies to make decluttering feel less overwhelming.

In this episode:
• where to begin with decluttering after 50
• why letting go gets harder over time
• how to help aging parents declutter safely
• signs it may be time to downsize
• simple systems that actually work

It's a familiar scene: supporting aging parents. And it's one of the most emotional - and often overwhelming transitions many women face in midlife.

In this episode of the Ageless Glamour Girls™ Podcast, host Marqueeta Curtis-Haynes sits down with Laura Tamblyn Watts - CEO of CanAge, Canada’s national seniors’ advocacy organization, elder law lawyer, and author of the book Let’s Talk About Aging Parents - to explore how families can approach caregiving conversations with greater clarity, compassion, and confidence.

They discuss the realities of the sandwich generation, the emotional shift of role reversal, and what can happen when difficult conversations are delayed. Laura also shares insights from her legal and advocacy work supporting older adults and their families.

While healthcare systems may differ between Canada and the U.S., many family challenges are universal - including guilt, sibling dynamics, timing decisions, and preparing for later-life transitions.

This conversation offers practical guidance and emotional reassurance for women balancing their own life changes while supporting aging parents.

Midlife friendship and community after 50 are essential for healthy aging, emotional well-being, and personal reinvention. In this Ageless Glamour Girls™ Podcast encore, we revisit a powerful conversation about women over 50 building new friendships, staying socially connected in midlife, and expanding their circles with confidence.

Last summer, a backyard cookout in West Palm Beach turned into an impromptu Ageless ChatFest, recorded on my iPhone. No studio. Just honest conversation, shared joy, and connection among women navigating life after 50. You’ll hear the sounds of summer in the background, because this wasn’t staged. It was lived. Real voices. Big fun.

In this candid gathering, we discuss aging boldly, rediscovering purpose, vulnerability in midlife, and why social connection after 50 is essential for thriving. Guests include Camryn Del Rio Linton, Dr. Winsome McLeod, Dr. Wanita Dixon, Dr. Ruthe Francis, and a thoughtful perspective from Stuart Taylor, who joined us as one of the guests’ partners.

Raw. Unscripted. Women supporting women. Bold. Beautiful. Brilliant.
