What if Wonder Woman Was 66? with Susan Guidi

Episode 129

What does reinvention really look like when life keeps throwing curveballs? For Susan Guidi, it’s a story packed with twists, pivots, and badass comebacks. An ultrasound pioneer, mother of three, grandmother of seven, improv performer, stand-up comedian, and award-winning bodybuilder, Susan’s life is a masterclass in resilience and reinvention. At 66, she wrote and performed her own one-woman show, “What If Wonder Woman Was 66?”—and she hasn’t stopped breaking rules or deadlifting weights since.

Join Erin and Susan as they dive into how she transformed loss into strength, defied cultural expectations, and kept discovering new versions of herself again and again. They explore:

The art of starting over: whether in a new country, new career, or after heartbreak
Defying cultural expectations about aging, ambition, and what women “should” want after 40
Building a thriving business from scratch, with zero business training
Bodybuilding after menopause: the science, grit, and audacity it takes to compete and win
How “trying on” new identities, from entrepreneur to comic to Wonder Woman, opens up endless possibilities for finding joy and self-love
