Description

The FxCK YOU 50s is an unfiltered, unapologetic, and fiercely honest podcast hosted by Andrea Claire—a veteran of the fashion and beauty industry with over 30 years of experience. Designed specifically for women who are "done with aging gracefully," the show dismantles the commercialized myths of midlife and challenges the industries trying to sell "solutions" to invented "problems." Andrea moves the conversation far beyond your mother’s "aging with grace" tea party. Instead, she creates a sanctuary for gritty, real-talk discussions about the actual realities of being 50+, covering everything from medical gaslighting and career reinvention to reclaiming sexual sovereignty and navigating the patriarchy. Andrea and her guests aren’t just surviving midlife—they are rebuilding it in their own image.  This show is about total personal power. If you’re looking for a polite conversation about knitting, keep scrolling.  If you’re ready to own your authority, pull up a chair. You’re home. The Solo Rants & Real Talk When Andrea takes the mic alone, expect zero filter. In these bonus opinion episodes, she tears into cultural hypocrisy, calls out wellness industry grifts, shares hard-won industry truths from three decades behind the scenes, and breaks down the exact mindset shifts needed to stop shrinking and start taking up space. No corporate polish, just raw truth. The Guest List: Meet the Agitators Who Refuse to Fade Out From elite communications experts to industry-shaking creatives, the guest roster is a masterclass in living out loud: Kirsten Birkeland: Communications expert and founder of Prep Your Talk, breaking down how to stop apologizing for taking up space, shatter the habit of keeping the peace at your own expense, and unshrink your voice in midlife. Jasmine Denham: Touring backup singer powerhouse with Nelly Furtado, pulling back the curtain on what it takes to thrive, hustle, and navigate high-pressure careers in the global music industry past 50. Mary Regan: Founder of The Regan Method, getting radically honest about the truths, trends, and total BS surrounding plastic surgery and aesthetic choices in your 50s. Katharin von Gavel: Trailblazing entrepreneur and founder of Footlogix, diving deep into the often-overlooked realities of structural health, physical longevity, and taking care of the foundation that carries you. New episodes drop bi-weekly with the Andrea’s bonus solos occasionally checker-boarding.  Subscribe, leave a review, and get ready to drop the filter.
