Unstoppable in Our 50’s: Leanne Morgan’s Secrets to Finding Success (and Laughs) in Midlife

For The Love With Jen Hatmaker Podcast

Leanne Morgan was going to quit her career as a stand up comic and start a hardware store (with a cheese wheel, no less!) before she had her major break in comedy. Making the decision to invest in herself one last time opened the doors to an incredible season and newfound success in the comedy world.

Jen, Amy, and Leanne get candid when talking about what it means to be the best version of themselves in their second act of life, and when success comes later, why it can be better than having all your dreams come true at once.

Topics discussed include:

• Behind the scenes of Leanne’s viral success at 51
• Why being yourself is always the best answer to any problem
• How handling criticism at their ages is so much easier to deal with
• The cornbread drama — do you add sugar or not?

Also; don’t miss Jen and Amy’s discussions before the interview on Taylor Swift drama and FOMO!

"I want [women] to know it is never too late...you're the best you've ever been. You're the smartest you've ever been. It is the best time in your life. It is the best time to start a business. It is the best time to go back to school. I just want women to know that." - Leanne Morgan
