In this week’s powerful episode of Living Ageless and Bold, host Christina Daves sits down with award-winning author and storyteller, Judy Mandel. At age 50, Judy left behind a successful career in marketing to pursue her dream of writing — a bold decision that led to her bestselling memoir, Replacement Child, and her latest book, White Flag.

Judy shares the deeply personal story that inspired Replacement Child — a tragic 1954 plane crash that killed her older sister and left another badly injured, and the emotional complexities of growing up as a “replacement child.” Christina and Judy discuss the lasting impact of generational trauma, the courage it takes to revisit painful memories, and how writing became a path to healing and understanding.

The conversation also explores Judy’s second memoir, White Flag, which examines substance use disorder through the heartbreaking lens of her niece’s struggle. Judy opens up about the realities of addiction, the importance of empathy, and the evolving landscape of treatment today.
