The Magic of Yes: Finding Love, Purpose, and Peace in Your 60s and 70s

What if your most extraordinary chapter begins right now? In this powerful episode of Getting to the Heart, I sit down with the luminous Lori Pappas — a woman whose journey from trauma to triumph, from corporate America to the heart of Africa, is nothing short of breathtaking. After walking away from an unfulfilling marriage in her 50s, Lori didn’t just reinvent her life — she redefined what it means to truly live. Lori shares how founding a humanitarian nonprofit in Ethiopia helped her unearth a deeper truth about success, joy, and purpose. Now in her 70s, she’s the author of The Magic of Yes: Embrace the Wise Woman Within, a heartfelt, common-sense guide for women ready to live life fully and unapologetically. Together, we explore her transformative D.R.E.A.M. model for personal fulfillment, the gift of self-forgiveness, and the courage it takes to believe in love again — even when it arrives in your 60s while living halfway across the world. This episode is a love letter to the women who wonder if it’s too late to begin again. It’s not. And Lori’s story is proof.
