If you’ve ever stood in front of yo...

In this episode of Life Take Two, I open up about what I call reverse middle-age discrimination and why it’s time we stop letting the world tell us we’re past our prime. I share stories, a few laughs, and a little righteous anger about how society treats women of a certain age while reminding you that we’re not outdated we’re upgraded.

Life didn’t go as planned...OK. I bet you’re used to rolling with the punches. Not this many punches, but whatever.

Listen, you’re not like everyone else. You’re still open. You’re not ready to roll over and die just because you hit 50. And I know you feel it—that little flicker of possibility.

I’m Mindy Baer. Between my life being worthy of a dateline episode PLUS 15 years on radio and coaching hundreds of people through mid life - ...
