Don't Retire...Rewire! with Jill Wine-Banks
Season 2, Episode 109, Jan 04, 01:30 AM
Jill Wine-Banks may be known to you as the Watergate Special Prosecutor who famously cross-examined Rose Mary Woods, President Nixon’s secretary, about the 18-minute gap in the Watergate tapes. In addition to multiple other high-profile jobs (scroll down for the list!) decades later, she is now an MSNBC Legal Analyst. In addition, she is the author of The Watergate Girl: My Fight for Truth and Justice Against a Criminal President. Jill is also one of the hosts of two hit podcasts- Sisters in Law, and iGen Politics. But, this is not a political podcast. I usually talk about hot flashes and hormones. So, why is Jill Wine-Banks my guest today? Because Jill Wine-Banks is the embodiment of a woman who in her 70s started multiple new chapters and at age 80, has an entirely new career.
In today’s episode, we chat about:

- Her experience with hot flashes and hormone therapy
- The secret to staying relevant and purposeful no matter what your age.
- And so much more….
