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 caring 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!

Fabulous Over 50 - My neck has fallen, and it can't get up!
play

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!

Want more? Go to the website and you'll find many ways to live your best life over 50!

I'd love to hear what you think about this episode, and what you'd like to hear about in the future. Send me a message HERE.

Have a blessed week,

Jen

Fabulous Over 50 - In Sickness and In Health - Finding the Fun
play

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!

Thank you for joining me today!

Fabulous Over 50 - Unbelievable But True - Weird Florida Laws
play

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.

Fabulous Over 50 - How to get it all done while having fun
play

06/01/18 • 28 min

It’s summer, and kids everywhere are saying things like: Are we there yet? I'm bored, what can I do? I don't want to help clean up, why are you making me? The same things happen all the time, especially on school breaks & weekends. You can't stop those questions from coming, but you can be prepared with answers! And that's what today's episode is all about.

Do you need some suggestions for:

  • What to do?
  • How to keep everyone busy?
  • How to keep the house clean?
  • How to get everyone to help?

Here are some things to do to keep everyone busy (and have some fun doing it):

The book, The Sick Mom’s Guide to having Fun Again: If I can do it, you can too! (by yours truly) talks about over 200 things for you to do. 100 of them are with your kids, and 50 of those when you can’t get off the couch or out of bed.

Our favorite source for kids entertainment, from toddler to teens is the library! Even when we lived out in the country, the local library had something for everyone. Our 8 year old codes there! Every other week during the school year, and every week during summer there’s a coding class.

The local rec center is another great place to find activities for kids. Keeping them moving is so important, both for health and for their mental state. The need to move (even when they don’t feel like it!

As for you, please take time for yourself! That might mean locking the bathroom door and taking a bath, or leaving the kids with a friend and getting out for a few hours. Sometimes my favorite alone time is having the kids go somewhere & I get to enjoy alone time in my own house!

Now, for the nitty gritty. Keeping the house clean with the kids home can be tough, but keeping it clean while they’re home AND we feel like junk can be nearly impossible.

I’ve come up with some great ways to get it all done AND get the kids to help:

  • Pick up your age
  • The one-hour roundup
  • Learning to accept good-enough

Our music is "A New Day," by Scott Holmes

Thank you for joining me today!

Want more? Go to HardyMom.com and you'll find ways to live well, grow, and enjoy your life again -with any health challenges.

I'd love to hear what you think about this episode! Send me a message at HardyMom.com/contact

Have a blessed week,

Jen
