Bobbi Brown: This is What Starting Over at 60 Really Looks Like

In this episode of Begin Again, makeup mogul and bestselling author Bobbi Brown takes us through her remarkable journey of reinvention. From building an iconic beauty empire to selling her namesake brand, Bobbi opens up about the pivotal moments that shaped her career and personal life.

She shares the challenges of stepping away from the company she created and the unexpected freedom that followed, her decision to start over at 60, and the powerful lessons she learned about aging, health, and maintaining passion.

The conversation delves into her family dynamics, including the deep bond she shares with her husband Steven, the impact of her mother's mental health struggles on her upbringing, and the complex path to self-empowerment. Bobbi also reflects on her entrepreneurial spirit, the ethical values that guide her brands, and how to stay true to oneself despite external pressures.

Bobbi offers an insightful perspective on how to navigate transitions, challenge societal expectations, and redefine success on your own terms.
