Author: Sherrilynne Starkie June 20, 2023 Duration: 26:43
In this interview Communications Advisor Marie Fitzpatrick, ABC describes living life on her own terms. She shares her experience of dating over 50 and advises on the importance of having fun every single day.

Hosted by Sherrilynne Starkie, 50 Women Over 50 is a conversation series dedicated to the nuanced and often overlooked stories of women navigating the second half of life. This podcast moves beyond simplistic notions of crisis or reinvention, instead offering grounded, real-world perspectives from a diverse range of guests who have accumulated decades of experience in society, business, culture, and family life. Each episode delves into the specific challenges and unexpected freedoms that arise at this crossroads, exploring topics from career pivots and entrepreneurial ventures to shifting family dynamics and personal creative pursuits. The dialogue is less about providing easy answers and more about sharing the textured reality of making significant life decisions after fifty. Listeners will find a sense of community and recognition in these honest discussions, which collectively argue that this period is not an ending but a distinct and potent chapter. By focusing squarely on these lived experiences, the podcast provides a unique archive of wisdom and a much-needed counter-narrative. Tune in for thoughtful reflections that are both personally resonant and broadly relevant, all centered on the rich complexity of life after fifty.
