How A 50-Year-Old TV Anchor Gets It Done: Tamsen Fadal

What is it like to be a 50-year-old woman on television? What are
the different societal expectations for men and women when it
comes to aging? Botox, fillers, getting, "work" done? How can we
have more meaningful conversations with people? How should we
think about retirement?


Tamsen Fadal joins us this week on the SuperAge podcast to
discuss these questions. Tamsen is a journalist, news anchor,
author, speaker, and podcast host. She seems to do it all and has
no intention of slowing down anytime soon. She recently turned 50
and has the unique perspective of being a women on television in
her midlife. She shares with us some of the challenges that come
along with her profession, why she was proud when she turned 50,
her thoughts on appearance as we age, how she has more meaningful
conversations with people as she has matured, and her thoughts on
retirement. David and Tamsen also share some of the current
health hacks that they are loving. 


What you will learn in this episode:


What it is like to be a woman in her midlife on
television 

Why you should be proud to age rather than just accepting it

How to have more meaningful conversations with people

Why we need to reframe our view on retirement 

The hacks that Tamsen and David use to wind down at night and
sleep better 



“Literally for 15 years I was petrified that I was going to wake
up and that was going to be the day that I was irrelevant.” 


“I turned fifty and I went, It’s like I ripped open my shirt and
had superwoman written on my chest. I went, ‘Hey, I’m 50 years
old and I’m still on television!’” 


“When I turned 50 I didn’t do it hiding behind a curtain trying
to pretend I was still 45… I was bragging about it.”
