Boomers Revolt
This isn’t nostalgia. This is a reset. Boomers Revolt is where reinvention gets real in conversations with people who refuse to age quietly, shrink politely, or disappear gracefully. Because here’s the truth no one’s saying out loud: getting older isn’t the end of the story… it’s the plot twist. Hosted by Cheryl Becir, this series dives into bold, lived experiences at the intersection of identity, relevance, visibility, and unfinished becoming. It’s about chasing what actually matters and finally being honest about what that is. Each episode taps into a cultural pulse point inspired by iconic songs that help us explore the emotional undercurrent of what it means to: start over (again), question everything (again), and show up fully… with zero apologies. Boomers Revolt digs into real stories of rebellion, reinvention, resilience and talks about what it actually means to grow older in a world obsessed with staying young. Boomers Revolt isn’t about slowing down, it is about knowing exactly when to turn it up. Reinvention is the new rebellion. About your host - meet Cheryl Becir: She is 69. Curious as hell and not done yet. After decades leading Not-for-profit organizations - challenging systems, and driving meaningful change, Cheryl “retired”… and lasted about five minutes. Now? She’s asking even better questions. With sharp insight, lived experience, and a refusal to play small, Cheryl creates space for conversations that are honest, layered, and deeply human. This isn’t a retirement project. This is the next chapter, on her own terms.

Episode 4 - Changes
Featuring Meg Zuccaro
David Bowie wrote Changes in 1971 as an act of self-examination. It doesn’t tell us to scrap who we were. It doesn’t mock the past or glorify the future. It simply names what’s already happening: you are changing. We are always changing. So pay attention. The song asks you to ask yourself “Who are you now?”
In this episode, Cheryl and Meg explore...
Episode 3 - Both Sides Now
Featuring Sandy Morton
What if clarity only comes after you’ve lived it?
Joni Mitchell wrote Both Sides Now as a young woman of 23. But the song’s true weight — the understanding that what you thought you knew was only ever part of the picture takes a lifetime to fully feel. It’s about perspective. About looking at your own life from both sides and realizing that the certainty y...

isn’t about giving up. It’s about standing still long enough to admit w...
Episode 1 - I Can’t Get No Satisfaction
Featuring Terry David Mulligan
When Mick Jagger and Keith Richard wrote Satisfaction, in 1965, they weren’t just cranking out a hit. You could say they were calling BS on polite obedience and the idea that you should just take what you’re given and smile. Fast forward a few decades… and that dissatisfaction hasn’t gone anywhere. It’s just grow...
