Ladies Who Leap | Midlife Reinvention, Confidence & Purpose for Women Over 40
Ready to reinvent your life after 40? Ladies Who Leap™ is the podcast for women over 40 who know there is more waiting for them—but aren't always sure what comes next. Hosted by Second Life Architect Lisa Andria, Ladies Who Leap explores midlife reinvention, confidence, self-discovery, personal growth and finding purpose through honest conversations with women who have made courageous leaps in their lives. Some chose change. Others had change thrust upon them. You'll hear real stories of women navigating career changes, divorce, empty nests, entrepreneurship, retirement, relationships, health and wellness, identity shifts, loss, self-doubt, limiting beliefs and starting over—and discover what helped them create meaningful lives on the other side. There are even some men who share life stories that teach women about the men in your life. These aren't stories about having everything figured out. They're stories about finding the courage to ask: Who am I now? What do I really want? And am I willing to take the leap to create it? Along the way, Lisa and her guests explore topics including self-confidence, self-love, mindset, overcoming fear, finding purpose, emotional growth, resilience, authenticity, personal development and creating your next chapter after 40. Whether you're facing a major life transition or simply feeling the pull toward something more, Ladies Who Leap is here to remind you that it's never too late to reinvent yourself. Because leaping out of your comfort zone is where the growth happens. New episodes feature inspiring stories, practical insights and courageous conversations designed to help women create a next chapter that feels authentically their own.

DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
