Summary
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:
- What it felt like to be fired at 61 and why it turned out to be a gift
- Reinventing yourself later in life and building something new online
- Making money on social media in your 60s
- Aging without apology, including Botox, gray hair, and the judgment women place on each other
- Why women over 50 are still competing instead of supporting one another
- Divorce, loss, and reconnecting with a past love decades later
- Learning to stop caring what people think
- Finding freedom and confidence in your 60s

| 0:29.4 | and my jaw dropped. Like, did somebody just say what I think she said and how she said it? |
| 0:37.1 | And I was so taken aback and did a deeper dive and |
| 0:41.3 | talk about opinionated, talk about unafraid, willing to put it out there. That is Lisa Arce. You may |
| 0:49.7 | not know that name, but you may know her handle, which is at KitchenKilla Lisa. A lot of you know her |
| 0:56.6 | apparently. She's got over a million followers on TikTok, almost a million on Instagram. She's got |
| 1:02.2 | TikTok shop. She's got videos on thriftin and kitchen cooking and all kinds of stuff, but more than |
| 1:09.1 | anything, she's got an opinion. I wanted to have |
| 1:12.7 | her on because I wanted to get to know Lisa Arce and find out why she's doing what she's doing, |

| 2:01.2 | blown up. But it was your post. It was your post. You're sitting in the car and you are ranton and |
| 2:07.9 | raven about let a girl do her thing. If she wants to do the thing, if she wants to do the hair, |
| 2:14.0 | the Botox, the lift, the this, the tuck, whatever, let her do her thing. If you don't want to do that thing, don't do that thing. |
