Talk Fifty To Me: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Heidi Clements & Constance Zimmer
Talk Fifty to Me is midlife unfiltered: honest, often hilarious conversations for women over 50, hosted by Emmy-nominated actress and director Constance Zimmer (UnREAL, House of Cards, Love Story) and comedy writer/pro-aging influencer Heidi Clements. So you just turned 50—now what? Your 50s are like leaving a cult. How do you deprogram yourself from everything that’s been baked into you while figuring out your place in your own body? If you don’t know who you are, your 50s will demand you finally figure it out. Every week, Constance and Heidi sit down with incredible women who are crushing it in their 50s and beyond for real conversations about menopause and perimenopause, midlife reinvention, careers, style, and aging gracefully (or not so gracefully). No experts lecturing, no anti-aging sales pitch. Just women who refuse to disappear because they hit the big five-o. Guests have included Julie Bowen, Padma Lakshmi, Elizabeth Banks, Dr. Sharon Malone, Garcelle Beauvais, Jennie Garth, Teri Hatcher, Margaret Cho, Ming-Na Wen, Laura Benanti and Dr. Kristi Funk. Reframing the narrative around aging, one episode at a time.

Sophie G.
Our last guest of season 2 is amazing! Best selling author, public speaker, longtime mental health advocate and mother of three teenagers boys @sophiegregoiretrudeau - has spoken on stages from Yale's Faculty of Medicine to the Forbes 30/50 summit in Abu Dhabi- to SXSW - named a fellow of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society in 2025 - and somehow found the time to become a certified yoga teacher!!! As a first lady she championed causes around mental health, gender equity, and youth empowerment, and was named a global ambassador by multiple organizations including the United Nations - but after almost two decades of marriage she went through an extremely public divorce - and lost her father in one fell swoop. Now - Single at 50 she has reentered the speaking circuit on her own not as someone's wife - has a documentary series in development about her beautiful second act - and a podcast called “listen with sophie.” Her debut book Closer Together: Knowing Ourselves, Loving Each Other — was an instant national bestseller. Sophies ability to be real and raw about midlife will help shift so many perspectives and we know you'll love her as much as we do! Learn more about your ad choices.

Andrea Bendewald on Women's Circles, Friendship & Walking Away From Acting
Actress Andrea Bendewald (Suddenly Susan, Friends, The Morning Show) walked off the audition treadmill in midlife and founded The Art of Circling, a women's-circle practice she has led in Los Angeles and online for more than a decade. She tells Heidi and Constance what actually happens in a circle, why it works on women our age and how it grew into a second career, including her podcast Circle This. Her prescription for midlife disorientation skips the supplements and the retreats: a room of women you trust and a structure that lets you tell the truth.

Luna Lauren Velez
This is a full on laugh out loud spectacular with the amazing Luna Lauren Velez! She is a Brooklyn-born, Afro-Latina actress, an identical twin, whose three-decade career spans HBO prison dramas, Showtime crime thrillers, animated superhero blockbusters, and a one-woman show she's been performing about a Cuban queen for twenty years “They call me La Lupe,” which she’s been trying to get made into a movie. In her 50’s and now 60’s alone she has racked up over 24 credits including Dexter, Power Book II: Ghost, New York Undercover, American Rust AND voiced Rio Morales the fierce, most beloved animated Latina mom in cinema history in two of the most culturally resonant animated films of the decade as in the Oscar winning Spider-Verse films. AND I was lucky enough to see her recently on stage in John Leguizamo’s “The other Americans.” In her 60’s, she wrote, starred and produced a film with her twin sister, is still booking leads, and still the only Afro-Latina in the room in most of the rooms she walks into. She is not the woman aging out of roles — she is, if anything, aging into them. #latina #afrolatina #sixties #twins #datingoversixty Learn more about your ad choices.

Omisade Burney-Scott
If there is one voice to listen to when it comes to black women and menopause - let this voice be it. Omisade Burney Scott is a mother of 2 and a seventh-generation Black Southern feminist, storyteller, and reproductive justice advocate. She is the founder of the first and most influential Black-women-led platform: The Black Girl’s Guide to Surviving Menopause, dedicated to normalizing menopause through art, ancestry, and activism. She also has a podcast of the same name in it’s 6th season, the author of “Messages from the Menopausal Multiverse,” AND I love this title: “the convener” of Iranti (EE RAN tee EHjeh) Ẹ̀jẹ̀: Remembering Blood — which is the first groundbreaking gathering to focus on the menopause experiences, insights and STRENGTH of Black, Indigenous, People of Color and LGBTQIA+ individuals. She also has a substack: Hippolyta’s (hip PAA luh tuh’s) Journal which i can’t recommend enough; and is part of The (M) Factor Sequel or prequel if you will - that just premiered in March: Before the Pause AND in February had an essay published in Ms. Magazine. She took the lack of language for what was happening to her body and built the language other women now use. She is a true force and you will want to listen to every beautiful word. #menopause #blackwomenmenopause #blackgirlsguide #mfactor Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

16. Jennie Garth
You may know today's incredible female from the zip code she lived in for 10 years, 90210, but Jennie Garth in her 50’s is busier than ever building a brand around the three words her character Kelly Taylor said in the 90’s "I Choose Me." She now leads powerful conversations on her podcast by the same name. 2 years ago she debuted her QVC fashion line “Me by Jennie Garth.” AND Just this year she released her now NY Times bestselling memoir “I Choose Me: Chasing Joy, Finding Purpose, and Embracing Reinvention,” She is a woman after our own hearts because she's anti - anti-aging — and rejects the phrase entirely.
