EP207: Beauty Beyond Age with Laura Geller

Épisode 207

vendredi 18 avril 2025 • Durée 37:48

Hey Fearless Friends - Send me a text and let me know what you are fearlessly facing as you age. You might get a shoutout on the show.

Fearlessly Facing FACING our FUTURE FACES!

What happens when a Broadway makeup artist discovers her true passion lies in making everyday women feel beautiful? Laura Geller's remarkable journey from theater makeup to beauty mogul reveals the power of authenticity and the magic that unfolds when passion meets purpose.

Laura shares the pivotal moment that changed everything - working one-on-one with real women at a makeup counter and watching them transform not just physically but emotionally. "I'd see them starting to come alive as I would make up their face...holding their head up higher," she explains. This spark ignited a business that would eventually take her to QVC, where she amazingly sold 750 units in just six minutes during her first appearance.

The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Laura discusses her decision to focus specifically on women over 40, a demographic often overlooked in the beauty industry. Drawing from her own experiences with aging skin, Laura developed products addressing the unique needs of mature women while keeping application simple. Her authenticity shines through as she admits she didn't always have the business acumen needed, setting prices too low initially, but learned and adapted along the way.

Most poignant is Laura's passion for women's stories and her mission to champion them at every age. When asked how her son views her, Laura's answer is immediate: "He would tell you that I'm a badass." Her parting wisdom resonates deeply: "Don't be in a rush. Good things take time...stay in your lane." In a world obsessed with youth and instant success, Laura Geller stands as living proof that embracing your authentic self and serving others with genuine care creates enduring impact.

Ready to discover makeup that truly understands your skin's needs? Follow Laura on Instagram and explore products designed specifically for celebrating beauty at every age.

Fearlessly Facing FUNDRAISING! I love sharing incredible stories of amazing people - and at this stage of life we often find ourselves with a bit more bandwidth. And maybe this story and this incredible organization will ignite something in you. Meet Casey Baynes, Founder of The Casey Cares Foundation.

• Creates normalcy through simple activities like movie and pizza nights, pajama deliveries, and group events
• Offers palliative care approach that improves treatment outcomes by up to 70%
• Continues supporting families after treatment ends, including bereavement services
• Every 12 minutes, Casey Cares helps a participant in their program
• Annual "Biggest Pajama Party" on April 16th raises awareness and collects pajamas for hospitalized children
• Operates primarily east of the Mississippi with headquarters in Baltimore
• Small contributions and volunteer efforts make meaningful differences - "It doesn't take a lot of zeros to give back"

Age is NOT just a number. Amen!

Are you ready to grow up and not grow old? Today's episode will inspire you to #cannonballwithconfidence. Listen in as two award-winning ad creatives talk about launching their #AgeisNOTjustaNumber video campaign -- an "Age Anthem" tackling ageism head-on. I was part of the campaign and loved every minute of it - you can watch it here.

If you believe that “age doesn’t define you, that substance is the new sexy, and in kicking ass instead of sitting on it,” meet Susan Lee Colby and Kathy Sjogren. After “aging out” of the youth-obsessed ad industry, the two friends co-founded Grace Creative, an agency specializing in marketing to women over 50.

Dr. Valena Wright has specialized in gynecologic oncology for the past 25 years. When her sister, Debbie, received a diagnosis of ovarian cancer, she gained a new perspective on what patients and their families go through throughout the process.

Unfortunately, her sister died from ovarian cancer, but Wright used this opportunity to teach others what can be learned from her sister’s experience by writing her book “It’s Time You Knew.” In the book, Wright speaks with her own patients about their cancer journeys, discusses major takeaways from their experiences and explores ways to potentially reduce their risk for cancer, among other topics.

EP 94: Food can change your life with Kristen Coffield

vendredi 19 mars 2021 • Durée 46:51

Hey Fearless Friends - Send me a text and let me know what you are fearlessly facing as you age. You might get a shoutout on the show.

What a great way to jump start spring... with an inspirational and motivational interview with Kristen Coffield, founder of the Culinary Cure website and She is It Facebook page, both dedicated to helping women over 50 live their best life.

I caught up with Kristen to find out how it all started, believe me this interview will boost your mind, body and soul…and will make you think about the choices we have at the end of our fork.

Kristen developed resilience at my lowest point. Her seemingly perfect life fell apart when things beyond my control sent me into a downward spiral. She was diagnosed with cancer, fighting depression, in debt, struggling in her marriage, and trying to maintain a “normal” life for her family.

By letting go of things I couldn’t control I was able to free up space for things I could. I doubled down on the power of food to detox my life, strengthen my body, and fuel my dreams. One bite at a time, I created a life of passion and purpose.

I took the simple daily habit of eating, made it a superpower, and changed my future.

Food changed my life, and it can change yours, too!

EP 93: When it's time to get back on the market with Holly Parker

Saison 2 · Épisode 93

vendredi 12 mars 2021 • Durée 52:02

Hey Fearless Friends - Send me a text and let me know what you are fearlessly facing as you age. You might get a shoutout on the show.

Dating is like real estate; the longer you’re on the market, the more people are going to wonder what’s wrong with you! -Holly Parker

Today I have a conversation with New York City real estate powerhouse Holly Parker. Holly is with Douglas Elliman, NYC’s premiere luxury residential brokerage and has nearly 8 billion in sales. As you will learn through the interview, Holly is smart, a rock star networker, and made the combo of grit, grace and being sensitive work. Holly has been selling high-end properties for 20 years and along the way she has figured out that real estate is a lot like life, and life is a lot like real estate. After 7 years of marriage, Holly found herself “falling out of contract” and dreaded being a newly divorced woman who was “back on the market”. This experience inspired her to write her first book, back on the market: A Realtor’s Guide to Love and Life. In this interview, Holly shares the pain of her divorce, the triumph of her second marriage, and the secrets to finding herself. And now as a wife and mom to twin boys...life is precious and Holly realized that loving herself and caring for herself is now a priority.
