In this heartwarming and hilarious episode of The MCP Project, Marissa sits down with her 91-year-old grandmother, Karen, for an unforgettable conversation spanning nearly a century of life. From performing in WWII victory shows at age eight to nearly becoming one of Lawrence Welk’s “Champagne Ladies,” Grandma Karen shares rich memories, raw truths, and timeless wisdom.
They talk about growing up during the Great Depression, the simplicity of life in the 1940s, coping without therapy or tech, and the deep value of lifelong friendships. Karen opens up about surviving breast cancer twice, the mindset that’s kept her going through heart surgery, and why a sense of humor—and a little pole dancing—might just be the secret to longevity.
With stories of Frank Sinatra, Elvis, and old Hollywood glam, this episode is a beautiful blend of history, laughter, faith, and perspective.
