58. Step into Your Power and Choose Your Label, with Jen Hardy

Host Deb welcomes Jen Hardy, founder of the Pick Your Label movement and Power Up Society, about redefining midlife as an awakening rather than a crisis. Hardy shares her creator journey, including starting a blog and YouTube Channel while managing chronic illness and raising seven children, then shifting from discussing illness to being “fabulous over 50,” which rapidly grew her channel toward 200,000 subscribers.

 

They discuss choosing and changing personal labels, handling pushback from family and others, rejecting “anti-aging,” and giving women permission to prioritize themselves and make new choices. Hardy explains her “Power Up Generation” concept and her AI-assisted music creation, and both emphasize small 1% daily steps, mindset, connection, and ongoing growth; Hardy can be found at jenhardy.net.
