Women Over 50, Rejoice: The FxCK YOU 50s Podcast is Here to Serve the Underserved!

Podcast Launches First Season, Promising Unfiltered, Unapologetic, Undeniably Needed Conversation.

TORONTO, CANADA — Let's face it — Aging is trending. From Demi to Pamela and Nicole, women over 50 are having a moment. And commercialism is cashing in. We're out here juggling hot flashes, career pivots, and trying to figure out who the hell decided our laugh lines were something to fix. Enter: The FxCK YOU 50s Podcast, hosted by Andrea Claire, a woman who has finally had enough of this BS. At 54, Andrea has spent the last 30+ years in the fashion, beauty and entertainment world as a hair and makeup artist. She has seen and done it all (and hopes to continue unless the patriarchy ages her out). She was a familiar face on Canadian TV from 2002-2007, then she skedaddled to Singapore, returning home to Toronto permanently in 2022. Andrea shares her experience, stories and opinions as she encourages us all to put our foot down — but not in a rosé way. 😉

The premiere season promises to deliver a fresh lineup of engaging guests, thought-provoking discussions, and actionable insights that listeners can apply in their own lives.

Each episode dives deep to explore the challenges women face as we age. From topics such as greying hair and how it can (but shouldn’t) affect our employment, aging out of job opportunities because of a few wrinkles, and the struggle of staying active when stress incontinence limits our ability to jazzercise, we provide listeners with an “overshared” perspective on all things Gen X-ers now deal with.

In its first season, The FxCK YOU 50s podcast will feature a diverse range of guests, including ex-model and TV host Linda Black, TV host-turned-lifestyle blogger Karen Bertelsen and pelvic floor physiotherapist Tamara Gerdis. The lineup will be featuring women aged 45 and up who are entrepreneurs, industry experts, and influential thinkers who will share their stories and insights. Episodes will cover themes such as navigating the 50+ landscape, menopause, and the importance of resilience in the face of challenges. 

“The fact that the only ‘constructive feedback’ that I’ve had has been from middle-aged men ‘helping’ me “to be better” showcases why this podcast is much needed,” says host Andrea Claire. "A few of our female listeners have already shared they have felt seen and heard from listening to  The FxCK YOU 50s. We're excited to inspire our listeners to openly engage in the conversations they’re only having in their group chats. Our goal is to create a platform that not only entertains but also builds community among this uniquely underserved audience."
