We Ain't Dead Yet

Lori Dube and Constance Bauer, long time friends, embark on an intimate journey chronicling their deep conversations about life, love, and aging. As her cover picture surely attests, Constance is more "furious" with the aging process and the way women in their third act are ghosted by society, and Lori is more "curious" about how she can lean into and learn from this aging process. In this podcast we will unpack issues that are impacting the hearts and souls of women over 60, as we walk together into the unknown of what lies ahead for us all. We hope you will join us on this journey.

Lyrics to our Theme Song, "Woman," composed by Julia Fortman

You can’t break me down, ‘cause I’m a woman.

Strong and powerful, just like I should be.

Try to cut me out, I’d like to see you try.

We may not be young, but we’re still kicking.

Out and having fun, cause life’s worth living.

I’m not sitting down…you’ll see me eye to eye.

I’ll be here and relevant ‘til the day I die.
