 "Mid LIFE Matters" - Wallingford Public TV

 I host a half-hour show on WPAA-TV celebrating women's wisdom and wit.  Fascinating women share their stories and growth mindsets:  Segments are under the MidLIFE Matters tab on this site and on You Tube, https://www.youtube.com/@georgianlussier8542/videos

I am honored to win the 2016 Community Media Rika Welch leadership award for community impact; a testimony to the Guests who shared their stories on MidLIFE Matters.  In addition, an 2018 interview I did with Judith Altmann, a Holocaust Survivor, won an award.  In 2020 and 2021 two other awards acknowledged the content of interviews dealing with Child Sex Trafficking in CT and Non-Profit leadership. In 2023 MidLIFE Matters won First Place for a Profile Talk Show.

Advice to Our Younger Selves

 

A favorite part of my community tv show for women is at the end, when I ask Guests what advice they would give to their 25  & 40 year-old selves.  The half-hour show, Mid LIFE Matters (www.wpaa.tv - Video on Demand) is designed for accomplished women to share their stories.

Guests are often wistful, sometimes strident -- 'Be Brave' - 'You are Beautiful' - 'One foot in front of the other' - 'Don't Flinch' - 'Don't let anything stand in your way' - 'Everything Changes'.

Anna Fels' remarkable book, Necessary Dreams: Ambition in Women's Changing Lives paints a sobering picture of the cultural obstacles for women before they reach midlife.  My advice is to make this book required reading for educators, parents and mentors.  Maybe create a core curriculum course for high school girls about how critical it is to develop mastery and receive recognition over a lifetime.

Marriage and motherhood, in Anna's book, are shown to be powerful forces that often contribute to women giving up on the dreams of their younger selves.  I think today girls are dreaming bigger, but the realities of the workplace and the homefront are still daunting.
