Why Midlife Might Be the Best Chapter Yet (Susan Kanoff, 63)

At 63, Susan Kanoff is redefining what aging looks like—and feels like.

From surviving divorce, cancer, and early trauma… to building a nationally recognized nonprofit, launching a viral fashion platform, and co-founding a support space for women living with cancer—Susan is the very definition of reinvention.

In this episode, we talk about:

• What really helped her leave a toxic marriage and start over

• How her love for fashion turned into a tool for women’s empowerment

• Her cancer diagnosis, the emotional toll, and the bold community she built in response

• Midlife fashion advice for anyone who feels like nothing in their closet works anymore

• The boundaries aging has taught her to hold, unapologetically

This one is for every woman who’s had to rebuild from rock bottom—and wants to believe something better is still ahead.
