LeeAat Dehnert knows something about plans—and about what happens when life refuses to follow them.
“Life always throws curveballs at you.”
At 51, she has learned that growing older isn’t about having everything figured out. It’s about becoming more flexible, more certain of who you are, and a little less concerned with who you’re supposed to be.
“There’s a freedom in being over 50. You don’t have to conform. You can just do you.”
That same willingness to step outside the familiar brought LeeAat to the 50 Over 50 Experience. A self-described introvert, she came wanting to try something different—and left seeing herself in ways she hadn’t before.
Her advice? “Go outside your box and say yes.” Come for the portraits. Stay for the stories, connection, and celebration.
