    How I Got Back Up, Stood My Ground & Took My Power Back at 48! | Tamron Hall (Fan Fave)

    2026/05/01 | 1h 11 mins.
    There are SO many pressures that are put on us women – like to get married, to have kids, to have an amazing career – ALL at the same time and before it’s “too late”. 

    So it’s sadly no surprise at all how many women end up succumbing to the MASSIVE pressures and just give up on finding Mr. Right, or the job that they’re actually passionate about, and settle in the hopes that it will make everyone else (even the mailman) happy. 

    And we all know how that goes, right?? You end up living everyone else's life and you are left feeling like an empty shell of that amazing woman that you either used to be or the woman that you know that you can be!

    So on this episode of Women of Impact, I wanted to bring on someone who stood her ground despite the INSANE pressures, broke the mold of what everyone expected of her, and got back up, even when life kept knocking her down! 

    This inspiring woman has it ALL - the career, the marriage, and the family - without giving in or settling. BUT (and of course there’s a catch), she didn’t do it until she was frikin’ 48 years old and most people said it was too late for her. 

    Today’s guest is journalist, talk show host, and author Tamron Hall!! 

    Now homies, you KNOW I believe in my core that age is just a number and you should NEVER let it stop you from making your dreams come true, and Tamron couldn’t be a better frikin’ role model to learn from! 

    In this episode, we dig into: 

    - How to maintain your confidence and get back up, even when you’ve been fired, left ANOTHER bad relationship, or feel like you’re “past your prime”

    - Why you need to bet on yourself if you want to actually make changes in your life  

    - Tamron’s genius way of thinking about everything in your life as preparation 

    - How to handle people calling you difficult 

    - How to stay open to a man coming into your life, even when you think it’s “too late” for you

    - And so much more!!  

    Let me tell you guys, by the end of this episode, you will know exactly what you need to do to, no matter what age you are, to take your power back in your life, not let challenges knock your confidence down, and do what you need to frikin’ do to make your dreams a reality WITHOUT settling or succumbing to anyone else's pressures in life!!
