In 2022, as Betty would have celebrated her 100th birthday, Andrea turned 50—Half Betty’s age. This milestone sparked a powerful reflection: Betty White achieved more between 50 and 100 than in her first 50 years, suggesting that midlife is not an end but a bold, new beginning. Inspired by Betty’s legacy, Andrea saw turning 50 as the gateway to a second, even greater life chapter - one full of possibility, reimagination, and purpose. This vision gave rise to Half Betty, a bold and vibrant community where midlife women come together to feel supported, inspired, informed, and deeply valued. It’s a space where the stories of their next chapter take shape and the extraordinary potential of their second scene unfolds.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-21T06:22:17.256145+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/half-betty-7116758"},"episode":{"title":"Nadia George: The Wild Walk Home - Part 1 of 2","slug":"nadia-george-the-wild-walk-home-part-1-of-2","published_at":"2025-07-09T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/half-betty-7116758/nadia-george-the-wild-walk-home-part-1-of-2","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/half-betty-7116758","url":"https://share.transistor.fm/s/8f02d5da","audio_url":"https://media.transistor.fm/8f02d5da/c8592b0f.mp3","summary":"Andrea and Krista are honoured to welcome Nadia George to the podcast—an award-winning actor, activist, and trauma integration clinician based in Toronto.
