She Got Fired at 61 Then Started an Unfiltered Social Media Career

Author: Dear Media February 23, 2026 Duration: 56:07
What happens when you stop caring what people think after 60? In this candid, funny, and unexpectedly heartfelt conversation, I sit down with Lisa Arce (@kitchenkillalisa), the bold and unfiltered voice behind the viral videos that say what so many women are thinking but won’t say out loud. After being fired at 61, Lisa did not retreat. She reinvented. What began as off-the-cuff social media posts turned into a thriving online presence, brand opportunities, and a loyal audience drawn to her sharp humor, honest storytelling, and unapologetic perspective on real life and modern culture. In this episode, you will also meet the woman behind the persona, shaped by resilience, complicated family dynamics, loss, love, and a refusal to shrink with age. In this episode, we discuss:What it felt like to be fired at 61 and why it turned out to be a giftReinventing yourself later in life and building something new onlineMaking money on social media in your 60sAging without apology, including Botox, gray hair, and the judgment women place on each otherWhy women over 50 are still competing instead of supporting one anotherDivorce, loss, and reconnecting with a past love decades laterLearning to stop caring what people thinkFinding freedom and confidence in your 60s For more on Lisa Arce, follow her on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kitchenkillalisa/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/p/Kitchenkillalisa-61575239068280/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehangryitalian Substack: https://kitchenkillalisa.substack.com/  Thanks to my Sponsors:Brickhouse Nutrition: Visit TONETODAY.com and use promo code FLOURISHING for 20% off your first order. Osea: Get 10% off your first order sitewide with code FLOURISHING at OSEAMalibu.comHero Bread: Go to hero.co and use code FLOURISHING at checkout for 10% off your order. Brodo: Head to Brodo.com/FLOURISHING for 20% off your first subscription order and use code FLOURISHING for an additional $10 off. O Positiv: Head to OPositiv.com/FLOURISHING or enter FLOURISHING at checkout for 25% off your first purchase. Caraway: Visit Carawayhome.com/OVER or use code OVER at checkout to take an additional 10% off your next purchase. Fora Travel: Become a Fora Advisor today at Foratravel.com/flourishing  Keep in Touch:Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dominiquesachse.tv/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dominiquesachse.tv/book/Insta: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/dominiquesachse/Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/DominiqueSachse/TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@dominiquesachse?lang=enYouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@dominiquesachsetv Have a question for Dominique?
