Ilona Maher On The Highs & Lows Of The Tokyo Olympics, Going Viral On TikTok, and Finding Her 6’7 Demigod

Ilona Maher is a member of the Women’s U.S Rugby Team and became a viral sensation at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics for her hilarious TikTok commentary. Prior to the Olympic Games, Maher earned All-American Honors, led her college team to three titles, and helped the USA finish 4th in the 2018 Women’s Rugby World Cup Sevens. In this episode, Ilona reveals what it is like to ride the roller coaster of emotions many Olympic athletes go through when the games are over, why we shouldn’t tone ourselves down for other people, and how her viral hashtag #BeastBeautyBrains is defining a new type of confidence for athletic women. If you’re one of the 800,000 people who have fallen in love with Ilona on TikTok, or you’re just curious to hear the inside scoop from someone who was just at the Tokyo games, this episode is a must listen!

Our Shows
Over 50 & Flourishing
Welcome to Over 50 & Flourishing, the show for any woman who feels like she lost her compass in the sea of midlife. I’m here to tell you it’s never too late to change your course and awaken the healthy, wise, and wonderful woman within. My name is Dominique Sachse, and I love to ask questions, which was why I spent nearly three decades of my life in the TV news business. I also started a YouTube channel in 2014 to connect intimately with my community, and I took an even deeper dive in my book Life Makeover - Embrace The Bold, Beautiful and Blessed You. I’ll be the first to say, I’ve made mistakes, and I’m not afraid to be vulnerable and learn from them. I mean let’s face it, this stage of life can be complicated. Children are moving out, relationships are being examined, our parents are aging, and we’re having to manage all of this along with our menopause! It’s easy to lose sight of ourselves, but can I just say.. we matter. So, whether it’s finding ways to enhance and celebrate our own beauty, taking bold steps toward living our best life in the second half of life, finding ways to be healthier, happier, and more spiritually connected, I will bring you thinkers and innovators who share the same passion of flushing out these ideas. It’s my goal to leave us all feeling inspired, thought and intent-driven, and with a sense of purpose in whatever we pursue. Let’s celebrate growing older together and embrace our Prime. It’s our time!
