How can a 75 year old woman go from retirement to over 160,000 followers in just four months? Nadja Piatka figured it out. But the best part? She wasn’t even trying to be an influencer at 75. She recently retired, and wanted an opportunity to share what she’s learned in her life, how to balance a healthy lifestyle and promote positive aging. I was first introduced to Nadja via Instagram. I liked her positivity and the fact that she and I both have the same passion regarding our age and being proud of the aging process. But once we decided to move forward with the interview, I learned so much more about Nadja’s past. Boy! Was I in for a treat, and you will be too.
In this episode of the More Than Your Age podcast, I sit down with Nadja Piatka—entrepreneur, author, and healthy aging advocate—whose unexpected rise to social media fame is only part of her remarkable story.
Nadja opens up about starting over after divorce, building a multi-million dollar healthy baking business, and how an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show changed her life. Her story is a powerful example of resilience, reinvention, and the belief that it’s never too late to make an impact.
We talk about:
How Nadja became a viral sensation at 75
The challenges of starting a business as a single mom
Why aging positively is a movement worth leading
Her experience on Oprah and what came next
How she uses Instagram to empower women over 50
The role of mindset, purpose, and timing in success
Whether you’re navigating a life transition, dreaming of launching a business, or simply looking for motivation to age with confidence, Nadja’s story will leave you feeling inspired and empowered to keep moving forward—no matter your age.
