Joan Lazarus has always had courage that enabled her to live a big, beautiful life. She started a successful, high-end interior design firm in 1965 when it was uncommon for women to own businesses. Joan authored a weekly column for the New York Post called Get a Lifestyle, trekked the Himalayas in her 50s, married the love of her life, Charles Lazarus, the founder of Toys R Us when she was 60, maintained her sobriety for 46 years, and sponsored countless people in A.A. She discusses the critical components of a balanced lifestyle including discipline, self-acceptance, spirituality, and a healthy diet—Joan dishes on fillers and facelifts and their role in shaping self-perception and self-acceptance. At 89, she is still vibrant, independent, sharp, spunky, and resilient. Who better to share some lessons about aging like a badass mother?
