Midlife Reinvention, Candy, and Connection in Your 60s

Season #2

Elaine Ebner spent 35 years in technology and technology media before reinventing herself, again and again, in the second half of her life. In this conversation she shares how she founded CancerSux after watching her son lose his sense of taste during treatment, why she builds companies and friendships one deliberate step at a time, and what it really takes to support an adult child through a health crisis.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • The overlooked side effect of cancer treatment that doctors rarely mention, and why taste changes deserve real attention
  • How Elaine started a company in her 60s with no grand plan, letting action create momentum one step at a time
  • The text message and the double meaning that gave CancerSux its name, and the reframe "why can't it be me?"
  • Why reinvention is really just curiosity, not vision you either have or don't
  • How to build friendship on purpose after 50, including the "never leave without the next date on the calendar" rule
  • What Elaine learned about showing up for an adult child in crisis, and why listening to the silence matters
