    Ep. 112- She Learned the Harp in her 40s, an Undergrad Degree at 60, and Now a TV Pilot at 75 with Julie Cunningham
    Feb 10 2026
    In this inspiring episode of The More Than Your Age Podcast, host Erica Pasvar sits down with author Julie Cunningham to explore a life shaped by tradition, transformed by adversity, and redefined through courage.Raised with strong cultural expectations about what a woman’s life “should” look like, Julie followed a conventional path of marriage and motherhood — until life took unexpected turns. She opens up about the emotional impact of divorce, the difficult yet transformative journey of rebuilding her identity, and the inner work required to heal and move forward.Rather than shrinking in midlife, Julie expanded. She returned to school at the age of 60, rediscovered her passion for writing and music, and stepped boldly into authorship. Today, she’s even helping develop a TV pilot based on her memoir, Mama Was a Hippie — proving that reinvention doesn’t have an expiration date.This conversation is for women navigating divorce, rediscovering purpose after 40 or 50, returning to education later in life, or breaking free from societal expectations. Julie’s story is a powerful reminder that growth doesn’t stop with age — and neither do your dreams.If you’ve ever felt limited by your past or your circumstances, this episode will encourage you to redefine what’s possible.Because you are always more than your age.In This Episode, We Discuss:How cultural expectations shape women’s early life choicesMarriage, motherhood, and identity shiftsThe emotional impact of divorce and the path to healingReturning to school later in lifeDiscovering (or rediscovering) creative passionsWhy it’s never too late to start overRedefining yourself beyond societal labelsBuilding a meaningful legacy through writingKey Themes✨ Reinvention after divorce ✨ Emotional healing and growth ✨ Returning to school after 40 ✨ Becoming an author later in life ✨ Women redefining age expectations ✨ Finding purpose in midlife ✨ Creative fulfillment at any stage📲 Connect with Julie CunninghamFacebook: @juliecunninghamWebsite: https://www.juliecunninghamauthor.com/Julie’s Books on AmazonConnect with EricaEmail // Facebook // Instagram // Linkedin // YouTube***This Podcast is NOT sponsored.
