She Got Fired at 61 Then Started an Unfiltered Social Media Career

What happens when you stop caring what people think after 60?

In this candid, funny, and unexpectedly heartfelt conversation, I sit down with Lisa Arce (@kitchenkillalisa), the bold and unfiltered voice behind the viral videos that say what so many women are thinking but won’t say out loud.

After being fired at 61, Lisa did not retreat. She reinvented. What began as off-the-cuff social media posts turned into a thriving online presence, brand opportunities, and a loyal audience drawn to her sharp humor, honest storytelling, and unapologetic perspective on real life and modern culture.

In this episode, you will also meet the woman behind the persona, shaped by resilience, complicated family dynamics, loss, love, and a refusal to shrink with age.

In this episode, we discuss:

Welcome to Over 50 & Flourishing, the show for any woman who feels like she lost her compass in the sea of midlife. I’m here to tell you it’s never too late to change your course and awaken the healthy, wise, and wonderful woman within. My name is Dominique Sachse, and I love to ask questions, which was why I spent nearly three decades of my life in the TV news business. I also started a YouTube channel in 2014 to connect intimately with my community, and I took an even deeper dive in my book Life Makeover - Embrace The Bold, Beautiful and Blessed You. I’ll be the first to say, I’ve made mistakes, and I’m not afraid to be vulnerable and learn from them. I mean let’s face it, this stage of life can be complicated. Children are moving out, relationships are being examined, our parents are aging, and we’re having to manage all of this along with our menopause! It’s easy to lose sight of ourselves, but can I just say.. we matter. So, whether it’s finding ways to enhance and celebrate our own beauty, taking bold steps toward living our best life in the second half of life, finding ways to be healthier, happier, and more spiritually connected, I will bring you thinkers and innovators who share the same passion of flushing out these ideas. It’s my goal to leave us all feeling inspired, thought and intent-driven, and with a sense of purpose in whatever we pursue. Let’s celebrate growing older together and embrace our Prime. It’s our time!
