Advocating for Older Women Through ‘Wiser Than Me’
In addition to her on-screen contributions, Louis-Dreyfus has expanded her influence with the podcast Wiser Than Me, focusing on the voices and insights of women with decades of experience. During a March 2024 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she addressed the resonance of her podcast by stating,
“I don’t think there’s any sort of platform where we only want to hear from older women, seniors,”
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Host. Further reflecting on her motivation, she expressed,
“It’s an untapped natural resource, right in front of our faces. Both men and women seem to really respond to this show,”
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Host. Discussing her personal experience, Louis-Dreyfus shared,
“Speaking only for myself, selfishly, I like the idea of talking to somebody who’s really been through it, decades and decades and decades of life, and asking them what they’ve learned,”
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Host.
The actress also commented on the shared wisdom gained from her guests, noting,
“I think there’s a common theme with all the women that I’ve spoken to, and frankly the women that I’m speaking to now for season two, and the theme is being very comfortable in their own skin in a way that was absolutely not the case when they were younger,”
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Host. She added,
“And there’s a sort of pride that’s in place that maybe was not quite there before. There was a kind of questioning. I think that’s emboldened me as a person who’s not quite old enough to be a guest, but, as I get older, it gives me a confidence about aging,”
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Host.
When asked about her own perspective on age, Louis-Dreyfus offered,
“I feel like I’m a very confident 35-year-old,”
