The FxCK YOU 50s
Unfiltered. Unapologetic. Undeniably Needed. Let's face it — Aging is trending. And commercialism is cashing in. Brands are turning our reality into their next big revenue stream, pushing products, promises, and influencers disguised as saviours. They're selling "solutions" to "problems" they invented while we're out here juggling hot flashes, career pivots, and figuring out who the hell decided our laugh lines were something to fix. Sound familiar? Exhausting, right? Welcome to The FxCK YOU 50s, the podcast for women who are DONE tolerating the BS. Hosted by Andrea Claire, this is your fabulously filter-free dose of real talk, real stories, and a much-needed reality check. We're not a trend — And we're just getting started. Welcome to The FxCK YOU 50s! About your host Andrea Claire. Andrea is a woman who has finally said enough with this BS. At 53, Andrea has spent the last 30+ years in the fashion, beauty and entertainment world. She has seen and done it all (and hopes to continue unless the patriarchy ages her out). She was a familiar face on Canadian TV from 2002-2007, then she skedaddled to Singapore, returning home to Toronto permanently in 2022. Andrea shares her experience, stories and opinions as she encourages us all to put our foot down — but not in a Rosé way. 😉
