Fabulous Over 50
04/13/23 • 21 min
I'm getting real in this episode of Fabulous Over Fifty! It's the short version of my personal journey of embracing body positivity and aging, something I feel has happened rather rapidly lately - the aging part. It's important to acknowledge both the ups and downs of feeling good about ourselves, and I want to encourage you to share your own insights and struggles after you listen. You can contact me at JenHardy.net any time. Let me know if aging is easy or difficult for you. Or, like me, you've got a mix of both.
We're also talking about how being fabulous is not just about material possessions, money, or plastic surgery (can't do it) but it's a state of mind. You'll journey with me as I check out and adjust lighting for video recording to avoid unflattering angles. Not sure how I feel about all that, but we've gone & shared it!
And I'm so happy to announce my new project called "Jen's Friends", where I'll be sending daily video emails to encourage others dealing with loneliness. You can find info about that on the website here.
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!

In Sickness and In Health - Finding the Fun
Fabulous Over 50
08/29/23 • 20 min
When you said in sickness and in health, you probably pictured a sniffle or maybe a slight fever, but then life throws a curveball...
In today's episode, we're tackling the topic of taking care of an ill husband and getting our final paperwork in order. It's important stuff & we're here to provide answers and a dose of humor for those navigating this challenging situation.
Picture this: your DIY superstar husband suddenly becomes the patient and you're the nurse. It's not as easy as those wedding vows made it seem, but through the trials of healthcare, we can learn to love each other even more. So how do we make the best of it? Well, first things first, kick Doctor Google out of the house. Not every sneeze is a rare disease. Stick to real doctors and limit the WebMD visits.
Next, channel your inner chef. Use this time to experiment with new recipes and maybe even turn making soup into an Olympic sport. And when it comes to entertainment, Netflix and chill becomes literal. Balance tearjerkers with comedies, because emotional cardio is a thing. Plus, it's a chance for quality together time.
Get ready to learn a whole new vocabulary too. Medical terms will become your household jargon, and it's okay to laugh at the struggles of pronouncing them.
Oh, and pajamas! Find some funny PJs for your hubby to bring a smile to his face. And let's not forget patience! Amidst the chaos, there are countless moments to be thankful for. So if you find yourself in this situation, or know someone who is, we've got your back.
And the grown up homework needs to be done - now. Wills, powers of attorney, advanced healthcare directives - oh my!! Now is the time to complete them all, and treat yourself when they're finished!

Unbelievable But True - Weird Florida Laws
Fabulous Over 50
04/13/24 • 12 min
Hello Fabulous!
Welcome to our new series - a deep dive into the American Justice System.
We're gonna start with a little bit of humor, and I would love it if you would submit all of your questions and concerns about our legal system as well as the people you'd like me to interview. I would absolutely love your input!
It's time to dive into the wonderfully wacky world of American laws. Let's cut to the chase: America has some pretty strange rules on the books, and I’m here to dish out the details. First up, if you're craving bear claws while wandering the wilds of Maine, stick to the pastry kind, my friend. Actual bear claws?
Down in Florida, where I reside among the eternal sunshine, there's a law that's music to no one's ears – singing off-key in your bathing suit is a big no-no. So, when in Florida, make sure those vocal cords are as finely tuned as your suntan. And don't even think about a melodic dip in the pool unless your pitch is perfect.

Moving Forward From 50 - A Man's Perspective
Fabulous Over 50
09/12/23 • 45 min
Welcome to our new series, "A Man's Perspective" that brings the insight of 4 men, who are over 50, to the Fabulous Over 50 Podcast. We'll be showcasing their insights throughout the month of September in order to gain new perspective & hear about what they're really thinking about marriage & aging.
Today we're diving deep into the world of men's perspectives with a special guest, the one and only Greg Gerber from Forward from 50. We've gotten together to discuss a range of topics, from the pressures men face in today's society to finding purpose and fulfillment after retirement.
This conversation is about to get real & insightful. So grab your favorite beverage, sit back, and join us as we explore a man's perspective in this fabulous episode!
In a world where toxic masculinity and mansplaining accusations have left many men feeling misunderstood and undervalued, it's no wonder they sometimes retreat from leadership roles. But what are the consequences of this withdrawal? How does it affect society as a whole? We'll tackle these questions head-on and uncover the importance of encouraging men to pursue their passions and regain their sense of purpose.

Man! He was nervous! Worried he'd say something upsetting, but he didn't and he was completely honest. If you've got a chronic illness, have your spouse listen, now that we've both got health issues, you'll get the husband and wife's perspectives of what it's like, and how to make it better.
I know a lot of women who struggle with their husband, boyfriend, etc. not understanding what it's like. Some of them are downright mean! Maybe it will help for them to hear a husband's point of view.
Dave explains how he handled the difficult times, and how he's got more understanding now that some of the symptoms are his own. It's a must-listen interview!

How to Enjoy the Holidays with Your Family
Fabulous Over 50
12/12/18 • 29 min
Is the holiday season a time of joy, or do you wish it could just all be over already? You don't have to suffer through the holidays!
1. Set boundaries. You don't have to have Aunt Edna stay with you for two weeks over the holidays if she upsets you and/or your family. She can stay in a with other family, a hotel, or her own home.
2. Eat what makes you feel good. No, ice cream for breakfast, lunch, and dinner isn't the best choice unless you've just gotten your tonsils out, but start enjoying your food.
3. Bring foods you can eat to events. Sure, gluten-free, dairy-free cookies taste different, but at least you'll have something on the buffet line.
4. Sit down with the people you love and discuss holiday expectations. This includes your kids. A ten minute conversation now can save hours of frustration on the big day.
5. Change things up! Just because your family has done something for 50 years doesn't mean you have to do it if you are uncomfortable.
6. Create family traditions. #5 doesn't mean you need to ditch everything you've ever done before. Keep the traditions that give you joy. Tweak traditions you kind of like to make them your own.
7. Do as much, OR AS LITTLE, as you like.
8. Take time for yourself. Don't have any extra time? Make some. You're a grown up, and you really can take time for you when you need it.
Create a new Holiday for yourself! Here's how we're doing that with Festivus:
- Only inviting our kids, keeping it small
- No cooking, we're ordering Chinese take-out
- We're creating family picture books that include a note from each person to have when we're apart
- We made t-shirts to commemorate the date
- We've talked to everyone to make see which parts of holidays they like so we're all comfortable, happy, and full of joy
Are you creating joy this holiday season? Share how at hardymom.com/contact
