Sunny Hostin and Tembi Locke in Conversation with Allison Gilbert: Reinvention & Renewal — Living Fully in Midlife

Sep 21, 2025

What does it really mean to thrive in midlife — a chapter so often dismissed, yet rich with the potential for reinvention?

Join New York Times-bestselling author Tembi Locke (forthcoming Someday, Now and From Scratch) and Emmy Award-winning journalist Sunny Hostin (The View) for an honest, uplifting conversation about navigating life’s biggest transitions — and rediscovering purpose, identity, and connection along the way.

Moderated by Allison Gilbert, host and curator of 92NY’s Connected Lives series, this event explores how to meet midlife’s challenges — from parenting young adults to reimagining work, love, and home — with clarity, courage, and community. Locke and Hostin share personal stories of resilience, grief, and growth, offering hard-won insights into what it takes to stay grounded while everything around you shifts. Whether you’re feeling newly unmoored or in need of space to begin reflecting and rebuilding, this event offers hope, inspiration, and a roadmap for embracing what’s next.

Connected Lives is 92NY’s signature conversation series exploring how we build meaningful relationships in today’s world. The series is inspired by the remarkable life of Dr. Ruth K. Westheimer and her final book, The Joy of Connections, co-authored with Gilbert and Pierre Lehu.

This program is part of 92NY Recanati-Kaplan Talks.
