Leanne Morgan: Why Your Best Years Might Start After 50
EP375 with Leanne Morgan
Leanne Morgan spent more than 20 years building a comedy career while raising three children, taking whatever gigs she could get, and holding onto the belief that something bigger was possible. Then, in her early 50s, she reached a point where she wondered if it was ever going to happen.
What came next was bigger than she had imagined.
In this episode of Live Like a Girl, Leanne joins Dr. Mindy for a funny, honest conversation about finding success later in life, moving through menopause, trusting yourself, and discovering a level of confidence she didn't have when she was younger.
They talk about the imposter syndrome Leanne still experiences, what it took to build a career at an age when women are often told to slow down, and why she no longer wants to spend her life keeping everyone else comfortable.
Leanne also shares how she's caring for her health while filming, touring, and performing in arenas at 60, what she's learned about protecting her time, and why this chapter of her life really does feel like the time of her life.
